Victoria Cruises - Yangtze River
Along the shores of China’s Yangtze River, where the ancient and the modern collide, Victoria cruises offer a fleet of premier ships, a series of larger contemporary vessels including new or newly rebuilt ships with enhanced facilities. All cabins on our premier ships have private balconies for viewing the spectacular Three Gorges scenery.
