Yangtze river cruises & tours

Our Yangtze Cruises offer an adventure you’ll never forget, exploring the world’s third longest river. This is a unique opportunity to visit the legendary cities of China, from vibrant Shanghai to ancient Beijing, and marvel at iconic sights like Tiananmen Square and the magnificent Terracotta Warriors.

On our Yangtze River cruises, you will sail past swirling mists and strangely-shaped peaks. Our China river cruises will explore the beautiful Three Gorges area with its famous dam, one of the world's largest, where you will be awed by dramatic vistas of turbulent water and jagged mountain peaks. You’ll also cruise through the hauntingly beautiful Xiling Gorge.

Known as 'the golden watercourse', the Yangtze is home to endangered wildlife species including the Chinese alligator and finless porpoise. You can also go ashore to see the pandas at Chongqing Zoo.

Our Yangtze River cruises offer many fascinating excursions to historical and natural wonders – including Fengdu Ghost City and Shennong Stream. You can also visit Xian, where 800 breathtaking life-sized Terracotta Warriors guard China’s First Emperor. Your China river cruise will also include a full day tour of the 4,000-year-old Great Wall. Keep your camera handy.
