6. After more than 15 years of work on the Yangtze River, including running our own ship, A & K firmly believe that the Orient Royal Cruises, M. S. East Queen and M. S. East King ships are the finest currently operating on the Yangzi River. With the most spacious and modern of cabins, friendly and attentive service, and interesting shore excursions, you can do no better. We have used both ships for our brochure programs and private charters and continually receive positive comments from our clients, known to be among the most discriminating in the travel industry.

7. On behalf of all 62 participants in our group, I wish to again convey my sincere thanks to your staff and the entire crew of the East Queen for an outstanding experience during our charter on the Yangtze. Everyone I spoke with had a positive experience. The quality of your equipment and particularly the professionalism and courtesy of each of your staff contributed significantly to everyone having a truly enjoyable experience. We do hope to come back to China in two years, and cruising the Yangtze again with the East Queen is an option that I now know will appeal to our participants. Please extend my sincere thanks to your entire staff for a memory we will not soon forget.
