Yangtze River Cruise Reviews - What Our Customers Say about Yangtze Cruise

Hi Vivien,

Thank you so very much for organizing this tour for us. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I received the Pada Bear soft toy gift that you had left for us with the receptionist. It was such a sweet gesture from you. I loved it. Thank you very much for all you did for us. I enjoyed the trip very much. I will refer your company to my friends who would wish to visit China in the future.

Kind regards,

S. Dutta

Hello Mike:

I will send some sceneries pics from each place we have been to, without the participants, since I need to get others to give me permissions In order to release their pictures.  (Under separate email).

1)  How do you like our tour arrangements and are you willing to recommend our service to your friends?

Your tour arrangements were seamless and perfect. We couldn’t ask for better arrangements.  Everything went very smoothly.

Our very special thanks to Rita and Mike.  You guys made our trip a very memorable experience traveling through the Chengdu and Yangtze regions.  

All of our Tour Guides were great - Cherry, May, Nancy, Susan, and Jack were the best. They all could speak perfect English, and Jack was able to speak to us in Cantonese too!  

We have a “Special Thank You” to Kathy and her team on the Yangtze gold 5 cruise ship.  She was most caring and helpful to us from the time we arrived on the cruise and throughout our stay. Upon her recommendation, we had opted for the better accommodation category and dining, and she made sure we understood the various tour options etc. When Jack (our brother in law) inadvertently scraped his leg and it started to bleed, she and one of the Captain’s Assistant came to his aid.  Since the cruise ship’s First Aid station was not adequately equipped with bandages, etc, Kathy and her staff made sure he received the proper first aid care needed.  The Captain Assistant accompanied him to the nearby hospital once the boat docked, and they made sure he was ok.  We could not have asked for more. He is doing fine.

Also, thank you so much for sending one of your tour guide, Frank, and driver to pick us up at midnight when we arrived in Guangzhou Airport that first night. That was greatly appreciated.

The added bonus of the Pearl River Night Cruise was a very nice gesture of China Discovery.  It was a last minute surprise, and we all enjoyed the lovely lights and beautiful sceneries of Guangzhou from the river perspective.  Thank you very much.

(2)  If you come to China again, would you like to use our service again?

Definitely. The quality of your service is commendable, your Tour Consultant, Mike Liu, did a great job in helping us to plan, formulate and worked out all the details of our trip.  All of  your tour guides were great, genuine individuals who were more than willing to go a second mile to make sure the customers are satisfied.  I have nothing bad/ or undesirable to say really.

On our next trip to China, we will be sure to contact you again. Thanks for all you have done, you have six very satisfied customers. We will recommend you without any hesitations to all of our friends and associates.  Keep up the good work!

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Ho

Dear Riley,

We were very happy on your boat President 8, together with our Chines friend Aries Tu who booked the same boat later for herself and her grandmother.

Your organisation and food and tours were excellent. Thank you. And that we were together with a group from Austria at the same table was wise and made us new friends.

We updated our room in the 6 th top floor. On the boat Nina took care of us. She was very friendly and always helpful towards us.

At the moment, we enjoy the last days in Phuket before going home tomorrow.

Best regards an thanks again

Albert and Carmen

Yanny,

Thanks to your efforts, we have enjoyed our trip and safely come back to Hong Kong.  All the transits were smooth and the hotels were comfortable.  Our guide, Carol, was awesome too.

Many thanks,

Youngnan

Hi Leo, 

Yes, the cruise on the Victoria Katarina went very well. The boat was well maintained (looked in better condition than the Yangtze Gold 5, & 6), the food was more than adequate,  the tours arrangements went smoothly. 

Thank you for thoughtfully putting me in the English speaking group for meals, as my Mandarin is woefully inadequate. 

Thanks also for your prompt replies to my queries. 

Best Wishes, 

Good morning Riley,

We are still enjoying China, fly Shanghai to Australia today.

The C. Glory was exceptional in all areas, food, cabin/balcony, all good and weather great, so lucky...!!!

English information and cruise staff first class. Alan entertainment officer so friendly along with river guide.

Regards

Dear Tracy

Thank you very much the cruise was excellent, the staff really friendly and the food was great. We had a great time and will recommend you to our friends,

Regards,

Hello Mark

Thank you for your email. I apologise for the delay in replying but I have had some computer issues that took some time to resolve.

The cruise was excellent with the onboard services (food, accommodation and services) to a very high standard. We had some excellent weather that made the scenery that much more spectacular. I would certainly recommend the Century Paragon to any of your clients.

I have attached some pictures of some of the scenery along the trip.

With my best regards

Beautiful Gorge

Hi Jack,

We loved the cruise. The staff was awesome. We felt very special. There was great service and wonderful food.  Steven was particularly helpful. We saw the doctor and he was knowledgeable and made us feel at ease when Dave was ill. The scenery was breathtaking. 

I will pass your name on to others.

Sincerely

Hi Jack,

My wife and I had a fantastic time on the Yangtze Explorer. We enjoyed the tour very much. We particularly liked our cabin, the fantastic service, and we really enjoyed the cruise across the 3 gorges.

We will definitely be recommending this to our friends.

Best,

Vivien

I was very impressed by the cruise director and all the staff who were very friendly and helpful throughout the voyage. The accommodation, facilities and meals were all of a very high standard and the cruise was a very enjoyable experience.

Thanks.

Relaxing Cruise Trip

Hi Lyn,

It is good to hear from you. We wanted to say a very big thank you for everything. All arrangements you made for us were perfect and all went very well. We loved the Yangtze Cruise. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The scenery was beautiful and the food amazing. We will definitely use you again for any further trips to China and I have already recommended you to friends visiting next year. 

Thank you SO much as you made our holiday very special. The guides were fantastic and very informative. We loved China and do hope we can visit again. 

Hello, Wendy,

I write just to express our satisfaction with your work and with all the trip: everything was OK.

There is only one repair: the train trip between Yichang and Shangai was very long and it' ll be better to take a flight.

The program, hotels, guides, transfers were really nice and we are very grateful to you for all planning.

My best regards,

Dear Riley,

So sorry that I was busy in the morning, but I had the payment in my mind. I just did it a few minutes ago.

We really enjoyed the Yangtze River Cruise and can really recommend it. I attached our real itinerary for your information. We liked it very much and can highly recommend the "Three Kingdoms" Liveshow on Saturday evening. It was amazing.

Thanks another time for your patience!!!

Best regards,

Hi Wonder,

Thanks for your message. We are slowly getting back into our normal routine, hence the delayed reply.

The cruise was fantastic. Definitely a highlight of our three weeks in China.

Find my feedback to your questions below:

1) We were extremely impressed with the service provided to us. Our travel consultants handled all queries in an efficient and professional manner. They were quick to answer questions, and any concerns were addressed in a prompt manner.

2) The cruise was very good. The Century Paragon ship was clean and well maintained. The cruise manager, Jeffrey, had a fantastic sense of humour and glowing personality. The staff throughout the ship were friendly and attentive. The post-dinner events each night were entertaining. The shore excursions were interesting. It was helpful having tour guides communicating with us in English, however some of the guides were less than confident in their English-speaking abilities, and we did not get the same information that was being given to the Mandarin speaking guests. The cruise photographers were able to capture a lot of good memories.

3) I would not hesitate to recommend your company to friends and family. The service provided was friendly, helpful, and of a high standard.

Kind regards

Dear Mark,

Thanks a lot for your precious assistance.
The cruise trip was excellent, included the additional excursions and the final visit to the Dam area.
The boat was high-class as well as its lovely staff, headed by Molly (or so), always gentle and available.
Soon I will send you some of a multitude of pictures I have taken along the way.
I have already recommended this experience to several persons and will continue doing it.
As for me, in a couple of years I could make a tour of southern China, Hong Kong and Macao included.
This could be an occasion to get in touch with you again for some other tour arrangement.
For the moment, thank you again and so long.

Hello Mark,

Sorry for not responding to you sooner. We got back to home-California on August 19. And I have been ill for almost 2 weeks, finally I feel better.

Yes, we had a great trip in China, except the weather-hot and humid. The Yangtze Cruise was the highlight of our trip. We really enjoyed the history and the cultural along the Yaangtze river, especially the Three Gorge Dam excursion. It was incredible to experience the engineering marvel.

The service on the cruise was great.  The arrangment of the dinning table was very thoughtful. We enjoyed our company at the same table at every meal. We appreciated being placed with others who spoke English. 

Two things I would like to point out are 1) the information provided needs to be consistent - for the last days excursion, it was confusing. We highly recommend that the ship manager -Jack should do that excursion at least once, so he would provide clear information on how the excursion worked. Also, Jack was difficult to understand. 2) The mandatory tip per passenger was not disclosed properly. We were charged 150rmb per person instead of 150rmb per adult.

All in all, the cruise was great. The waitress assigned to our table was fantastic. All the people on the board were friendly and helpful. We had a joyful experience on the cruise. Thank you for suggesting this ship and your attentive service. Attached are the photoes you requested. 

Best wishes,

Yangtze River Cruise

Dear Lily,

I am back in Australia after my Sanctuary Yangtse Explorer cruise with my sister-in-law from England.

All the arrangements went very smoothly, many thanks, and we very much enjoyed our cruise.

I was particularly impressed with the guides on our various tours, especially the young lady in Fuling, who struggled with her English, (so much better than my Chinese!) but had the courage to continue, and put all her effort into giving us a genuine insight into her city. She, and the other young ladies, were lovely. We had many helpful experiences from people during our brief time in China, which is much appreciated when trying to learn a new country.

If I plan another tour in China in future, I will be in contact again,

Kindest regards,

Dear Leo,

In the meantime we have arrived back home in Germany.

The river cruise was a really good experience.

As I told you earlier on we were really happy with our guide Jay in Chongqing as well as with Nancy in Yitchang.

One has to say that your entire organisation worked very well in our case.

Speaking about the staff on board the boat, they were just great. Friendly and always helpful.

Because of the booking situation on board we were offered an upgrade to the explorer suite, and we took it. Awesome. The food was really nice, no problems at all for us westerners, whatsoever.

Overall this was a great experience which we recommend without any restrictions.

Thanks again.

Best Regards

Dear Miss Ashley He,

Our tour on the President no.7 was excellent!

1.  Is your travel consultant of our company fast enough to answer your E-mail and patient enough to answer your questions? Yes, indeed!
2.   How’s the service onboard? The service onboard was very good.
3.  Would you like to recommend our company? I certainly will! 

Yours sincerely,

Dear Lily,

We had a wonderful time on our President 8 Yangzi River Cruise!  Our guide, Nina, was very helpful.  I think we were the only English-only speakers on the cruise. 

We got busses from FengDu to Chongqing. 

Thank you for your help arranging the train rides, this cruise and the Chongqing visit with Portia. 

Sincerely,

Margaret Briskin

At the end of our cruise, with guide Nina

Hi Lyn,
Thank you for your email. We have now returned from our most interesting trip to China.
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our cruise aboard Yangtze 8.
Unfortunately my wife had to return to Australia for medical reasons before the cruise and was not able to come with us.
The highlights - Andrew and I particularly enjoyed the Little Three Gorges excursion and the Mini Three Gorges option as well. We chose the upstairs dining option and appreciated the quieter meals and friendly, helpful staff there.
I have included a couple of our pictures which you are welcome to use if you wish. I would recommend this cruise to others and thank you for your assistance in arranging our booking beforehand.

Kind regards,

Dear Wing Zeng

Thank you for your email. We had an excellent trip and have recommended Yangtze River Cruises to other people already. We thought the Victoria Jenna was a good ship in excellent condition and all the staff were very helpful. All the arrangements you made for us went smoothly and we were impressed with all the English speaking guides.

If we return to China we would consider using your service again.

Yours sincerely
