China Discovery Tours is proud to announce that we are working
exclusively with Century Cruises, the only cruise line with its five
cruise ships all built after 2003. Century Cruises is also the only
cruise line with its spacious cabins all installed with private balcony
for viewing the Three Gorges scenery.
Century Cruises offers a highly advanced water filtration process that
enables the use of purified water throughout all aspects of the cruise.
It is the only cruise line that has installed a superb bar on deck 6
with a panoramic view. The cruise ship is also endowed with midship
observation elevators providing convenience and unparalleled view
of the Yangtze.
The facilities include a business center, reading room, fitness area,
sauna and massage room, internet café, gift shop and beauty
salon. Onboard activities feature lectures on Chinese History and
culture, Tai Chi lessons, and calligraphy demonstrations. Narratives
by knowledgeable river guides, latest satellite communications and
HBO/CNN make it that much more enjoyable onboard.
In each cabin is a deluxe king-sized bed (or two large single beds)
with 5-Star Hilton Hotel Standard linens and personal grooming
articles. A good night's sleep is further assured by the distance of
each cabin from the engine.
Century Cruises brings you a sophisticated restaurant with a capacity
of more than 300 people, serving both Chinese and Western cuisine.
The vessels also installed advanced central ventilation systems and
anti-vibration systems onboard. According to the China National

A compelling way to add to the exciting
adventure of China is to include the Yangtze
River in your travel plans. As the longest river in
China, the Yangtze is a significant part of Chinese
history, culture and economy. Its picturesque
gorges, valleys and vistas have been admired and
written about in Chinese lore for thousands of
years. As "the cradle of Chinese civilization" the
Yangtze and Three Gorges Dam provide for cargo
shipping, hydroelectric power, flood control, and
water for agriculture - all of which are vital to
China's economic growth.
