Victoria Cruises is one of the premier providers of Yangtze River cruises as it has been operating in the area for more than 40 years. Offering the style and service preferred by most travelers today, Victoria's ships -- the Victoria Prince, Anna, Jenna, Katarina, Queen, Rose, Star and Empress -- represent one of the newest and most luxurious fleets ever built exclusively for Yangtze cruising. The atrium lobby, with its chandelier, rich carpet and gleaming woods, promises luxury. The uniformed staff gives each guest a warm welcome and swift check-in. Each vessel is maintained by 112 crewmembers, attentive to the needs of their guests, and lecturers and international chefs are often onboard for added enrichment. Immerse yourself in Chinese culture and history, take tai chi lessons or learn calligraphy. Evening entertainment based on ancient Chinese traditions further enhances the Yangtze experience. During the day, the dining room is open for breakfast and lunch buffets, consisting of both Western and Chinese dishes, but in the evenings, traditional Chinese specialties are elegantly served family-style. All staterooms have ocean views, and on premier vessels, all staterooms boast private balconies.
