    · October 1st, 2025
    The trips was what I went for and got. The ships staff were great and tried to make me comfortable especially Cathy, the ship's officer who bought me the daily cruise guide and took me through it. Although I spoke little to no Chinese only using my translator she spoke to me in English and helped me with everything I needed.

    My wife and I were generally pleased with the total experience. There were a few hiccups but our main contact, Ben, was fast to respond to us. He was our lifeline!

    Unfortunately one day less on the river than stated when booking. Good facilities; spacious, clean cabin. Spacious upper deck. Very good organization of the interesting excursions. The trip through the three gorges was really great, although the constant soundtrack from the commentator, who spoke only mediocre English, would have been dispensable. The food was varied and of excellent quality. Overall very good price/performance ratio
