Yangtze River Cruises

The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and the third longest river in the world. The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world and must be seen to be believed. There are many companies that offer Yangtze River cruises, from the most expensive Yangtze River cruise line, the 5-star Victoria Cruises, which are the only American-managed cruises on the Yangtze River to the 5-star Chinese-owned cruises that are equally nice and much more affordable - we recommend them as the best value for your money. Prices vary by season and cabin class, so please contact us for details on the particular cruise that you are interested in. We can combine any of these cruises with any tour itinerary to fit your schedule. Below are some examples of 5-Star Chinese-owned Victoria Cruises on the Yangtze River.
