Chongqing to Yichang: 3-Night Luxury CENTURY GLORY Yangtze River Cruise Tour

Stunning scenery and a great on-board experience

This was an amazing experience! The Century Glory was comfortable and well-appointed, with plenty of amenities in the rooms and pleasant furnishings. It was more luxurious than I had expected - like a floating hotel. The food on board was excellent, with a wide range of dishes, both Chinese and Western. Traveling as a couple, we always managed to get a table for just the two of us apart from at one meal. We upgraded to the smaller 'VIP' dining room so I can't comment on the other one, but the service in ours was very good. As part of a small group of guests who did not speak Chinese, we were well looked-after by Summer, who provided professional, organised and attentive service for the duration of the trip and who spoke excellent English. There was a very good range of excursions: I especially enjoyed taking a little boat down one of the Yangtze tributaries, and attending this spectacular outdoor performance about one period of Chinese history at night. It was real spectacle, with water, horses, fire, acrobatic performers descending from on high, and a seating stand which moved around during the show. The gorges themselves were impressive, and commentary was provided in both English and Chinese. Upon disembarking, we took the option to board another ship and go through the ship lift at the Three Gorges Dam: this was astonishing and I definitely recommend it. (It was crowded, but we had been told this, and it was certainly worth it.) It was clear that the staff on this ship worked very hard to provide this high-quality service. Watching the sun setting from the deck of the Century Glory while we were docked in one of the gorges was wonderful. The only dissatisfaction I experienced was noise at night from the guests in the rooms either side of ours, which made it hard to sleep. However, I think we were unlucky with those individuals, and it's obviously a risk anywhere you go. Overall this was a great experience and I would like to thank all the staff onboard for their dedication.

Highly recommended

I thoroughly recommend this short cruise. We had an excellent time, felt very well looked after and enjoyed being with mainly Chinese people on holiday. We sung and danced with them up on the top deck as we left Chongqing which was great fun! Our cabins were the standard ones and were very comfortable, especially the beds. Having a balcony was great. The bathroom was well organised if a little small (but we were on a boat!). We upgraded restaurants which worked well for us as it was quieter, not at all busy and the food was good. The staff were all wothout exception friendly and helpful (thank you google translate!). Excursions were very good - we had English speaking guides. We especially enjoyed the ghost town. We watched the end of cruise staff show which was brilliant especally the face changing. Great memories!

From my point of view, a compulsory event ...

Great experience ... not to be missed. The day trips are also excellent ... but of course like everywhere in China people, people, people. Cabin and food were very fine and the staff very friendly. By the way, everything super clean.

Very exciting experience

Century Glory is a modern, luxurious cruise ship with stylish cabins and top-notch service. We booked a family room with hello kitty interior for my daughter. The staff were attentive and welcoming especially Dandan, making the trip feel special. One of the highlights was the food – every meal was delicious, with a great variety of local and international dishes. It felt like dining at a high-end restaurant every day. The short excursions were also well-organized and interesting, offering a perfect glimpse into local culture and landmarks without being too rushed or tiring. Overall, Century Glory is highly recommended
