Yangtze river cruises, China

Yangzi Explorer

Cruise Asia’s longest river in style

  • Hotel

Savour the breathtaking beauty of the Three Gorges

Experience the wonders of China‘s Yangtze River in the utmost luxury onboard the Yangzi Explorer. With a crew to passenger ratio of one to one and some of the largest suites on the river, it truly is a cruise to rival all others.

All suites are lavish in style, enriched with antique furnishings and original artwork. They each lead out to personal balconies, offering uninterrupted views of the landscape as it slips by. Staying in a Celebrity Suite, gaze out to misty peaks and foliage-cloaked cliffs from a specially designed sitting area that’s been beautifully furnished with traditional décor. You’ll also enjoy an impeccable butler service to ensure your experience is smooth. 

As you sail, enchanting vistas unfold from every angle, with multiple viewing platforms including a panoramic stargazing terrace. There’s also a theatre for cultural performances, a dedicated kids’ corner hosting interactive natural science programs to bring the region to life and an indulgent spa, where revitalising therapies invite you to unwind. Four restaurants round out the Yangzi Explorer’s onboard facilities, each spotlighting a flavourful fusion of recipes from the East and West.

Step ashore with seasoned guides to trace the steps of legendary scholars or the sites of great battles. Off-board excursions take you into the heart of ancient towns like Xituo, where millenia-old stone streets tell the stories of salt merchants. Or they can lead you along hiking trails through the forests of Shennongjia National Park to spot rare wildlife, like the blue-faced golden monkey.
