Yangzi Explorer Cruise

Yangtze Explorer is one of the most luxurious ships on the Yangtze River. It has been chosen by many celebrities, such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Henry Kissinger, for their Yangtze River cruise ship.

  • Designed by the famous French designer Anthony Dugdale and decorated by famous British designer Andrew Sobenko.
  • Accommodating only 124 passengers, substantially fewer than the customary 300-600 people on Yangtze River cruises, it provides a more spacious and comfortable space for enjoyment.
  • The ratio of crew to passengers is 1:1, offering the most personalized service.
  • The only all-suite cruise ship on the Yangtze River, all rooms have independent river-view balconies.
