Leisure Facilities
Carrying just 124 passengers, the MV. Yangtze Explorer offers the finest and most personalized service of any ship sailing the river. With other cruise ships accommodating well over 300 passengers the Yangtze Explorer is the market leader by offering such an intimate cruising experience. International standards of service, delivered by the highest ratio of staff to guest, ensure that every level of comfort is catered for during the cruise.

Activities
The MV. Yangtze Explorer is staffed by the best knowledgeable guides and resources who support a programmed of daily lectures and shore excursions, ensuring guests are educated, engaged, and informed. Being the smallest and most intimate ship on the Yangtze, we operate our shore excursions with fewer passengers than most other cruise ships, and thus can offer a more informative experience and at times which are less frequented by other cruise groups. The onboard entertainment is discerning and sophisticated, consciously avoiding the ubiquitous karaoke found on so many Yangtze cruise vessels.
