Unparalleled Accommodations

Because 'Yangzi Explorer's' complement is limited to 124 passengers, her staterooms set a new standard in spaciousness and elegance, from a roomy Deluxe Cabin to the palatial Imperial Suite. All cabins and suites feature private balconies, affording a unique view of the gently scrolling landscape.

Comfort and Convenience

'Yangzi Explorer' includes all the amenities you would expect at a first-class hotel, including a fitness center, Internet access, laundry service and a multi-language library. To ensure your comfort on board, smoking is not permitted in internal areas and mobile phone use is confined to private areas. With a highly trained international staff — and a staff-to-guest ratio of better than 1:1 — expect the most attentive service of any Yangzi River cruiser.

'Yangzi Explorer's' on-board China specialists coordinate a range of educational programs and shore excursions, unraveling the historical, cultural and environmental factors that have made the Yangzi so integral to 3,000 years of Chinese history.
