Once aboard, you will find warm reception from all crews, delicious Chinese style or western style foods, pampering service, traditional shows and many other entertainment activities, not to mention that you will enjoy Three Gorges' fantastic views in a relaxed and comfortable way.

Our guests on the Yangtze Princess said as following.The food on the cruise was very good, although breakfast and lunch were somewhat chaotic. In the dining room, there are many tables designed for seating 10 people each. All of them had 10 people except for ours which had 12 or 13 because we were a larger group, so elbow space was at a premium. There is no crowd control at the buffet table and everyone is told to be in the dining room at the same time. You get used to the chaos sort of. Supper (or dinner if you prefer) is a multicourse meal served to the table and shared via a lazy susan. They have a ritual one-drink policy throughout China it seems. You only get 1 drink included with the meal, whether it is a soft drink or beer, or something else. Anything else you have to pay for - a bit annoying but you get used to it sort of. As I said the food was great. Most evenings on the ship they had entertainment and it was enjoyable.

The Princess is waiting for you. What are you waiting for? Embrace her while you are voyaging through the longest river of a country with a longest history and splendid civilization.
