Ocean cruisers are familiar with the convenience of unpacking just once in a comfortable stateroom. But Yangtze river cruise ships are far smaller and more intimate than ocean cruising vessels, carrying 150 to 300 passengers, and every stateroom is a comfortable "outside" stateroom with a view and/or balcony. With Yangtze river cruising, meals are open seating, casual but elegant, and the ride is smooth and quiet with no worries about motion sickness or "sea legs."

Yangtze River cruise ships sail right into the heart of each destination and guests walk right off the ship. And Yangtze river cruise vacation packages are all-inclusive, covering not only accommodations and all on-board meals but all shore excursions and supplemental cultural activities. On a Yangtze river cruise, there is ever-changing scenery and new destinations every day-guests spend their time being there, not getting there.
