If you visit Portland from a cruise ship, you'll likely go through this Welcome Center. It provides a great view of the ship at dock, with a nearby bench allowing a perfect commemorative photo opportunity to get its full length.

The Welcome Center features multiple free brochure guides you can use to navigate Portland by foot or tour bus. There are places to sit if you need to rest, as well as a bathroom available for use. Be sure to get a photo with Standing Bear, a tall wooden statue designed by Bernard "Blackie"...
