River cruising is a wonderful story of discovery—complete with luxury, comfort and convenience. You'll uncover treasures that come straight out of Chinese history books and fairytales, and all from the comfort of your cabins.
Pace yourself Once you get on board, hang up your clothes and make yourself at home; once you have unpacked you can settle down and enjoy a leisurely-paced discovery adventure. There's no need to hurry on and off the coach to catch the next onshore scenic spot, take in the experience at your own pace. Whilst onboard ship you may just relax on the Sundeck with a drink while enjoying the magnificent scenery of the Yangtze Gorges. Alternatively you can have a leisurely sit down on the deck bask in the sun and breathe in the fresh river air.
