Fine Dining

Meals on board 'Yangzi Explorer' are a feast for the senses. On an A&K journey, you enjoy friendly, personalized service in a spacious, well-appointed dining room reserved solely for A&K guests. A dedicated team of internationally trained chefs concoct meals from fresh ingredients (many purchased that day at local riverside towns and markets you visit), and perfectly pair each dish with complimentary house wines from the vessel's wellstocked wine cellar. Other refreshments are also included at all meals throughout the journey.

Every meal is a three-course affair that blends Chinese and continental cuisine. The kitchen is happy to accommodate particular dietary requirements, or create a special dinner for your party in one of the private rooms.

'Yangzi Explorer' cruises downstream from Chongqing to Yichang (3 nights) and upstream from Yichang to Chongqing (4 nights), with shore excursions while travelling in either direction at local villages (including markets and home visits), the lovely Shennong Stream and the colossal Three Gorges Dam Project.
