Yangtze River Cruises
Sail through the heart of China — luxury cruises along the mighty Yangtze River
The Yangtze: China’s Lifeline
The Yangtze River — Asia’s longest — has been China’s lifeblood for 5,000 years. A cruise through the Three Gorges (Qutang, Wu, and Xiling) is one of China’s quintessential experiences. Between towering limestone cliffs, sail past ancient hanging coffins, the Ghost City of Fengdu, and the Three Gorges Dam. Modern luxury ships offer spacious balcony cabins, gourmet dining, and onboard cultural activities.
Our cruises can be stand-alone 4-5 day voyages or seamlessly combined with Silk Road tours. Choose upstream (Yichang to Chongqing, 5 days) or downstream (Chongqing to Yichang, 4 days). Best seasons are April to May and September to October. All cruises include shore excursions, meals, and English-speaking guides.
