Yangtze river cruise

5.00Sailed on the Victoria Anna. Standard cabin booked but on arrival was too small so upgraded to junior suite definitely worth doing. Lovely ship very clean great food and lovely staff. We really enjoyed this part of our Wendy wu tour
Shore excursions painfully noisy!

3.00The Victoria Sabrina could be an excellent choice for the Yangtze River cruise. The staff is very responsive and attentive to customer needs. Meals are delicious. The rooms are very nice and quiet. Unfortunately the movies shown in the “theatre” were mostly about bloody wars epics; nothing about the area we were sailing through. Most disappointing were the shore excursions which while interesting lost their appeal because of the incredible cacophony brought by the constant “yelling” of guides attempting to be heard. Many were using portable speakers that made matters worse. The vistas along the way are memorable and worth the trip.
Amazing cruise in a breathtaking scenery

5.00This was one of the highlights of our trip to China - a perfect way to travel from Chongqing to Yichang! Ben was very helpful and efficient - he booked our trip and kept us up to date about our booking. The cruise was very relaxing and it was nice to have such a good choice of food at meal times. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were included. Our cabin was spacious, clean and comfortable - I loved just sitting on the balcony as the ship cruised along the banks of the Yangtze. The scenery was beautiful, especially once we had entered the Three Gorges. The organised excursions were interesting - my favourite was The Mini Three Gorges tour which we paid extra for - it was definitely worth it to explore the smaller gorges - the scenery was stunning. Overall, I would recommend the cruise for a relaxing few days travelling down the Yangtze - it is a great way to slow down and enjoy the scenery.
Great experience

5.00I went on this cruise tour at the beginning of August and want to express my great impression it made on me. Being the only Westerner on board among several hundreds of locals was a real adventure in itself:-) As for the boat and its staff, they were high-class, not to mention the experiences I lived along the route down the Yangtze river. Very appreciated the visit to the Fengdu ghost city as well as the excursion to one of the Yangtze's tributary on smaller vessels. While the final visit to the spectacular and breath-taking Three Gorges Dam was the worthy crowning of the entire cruise.
