China River Cruises

China river cruises are a little different from all of the other small ship cruises outlined here. It would be more appropriate to call them "China River Cruise Tours" because, almost without exception, all cruises include a tour component also. All river cruising in China (at least at this time) is confined to the Yangtze Rivre. The longest river cruise is 9 nights. In most cases, the cruise portion of a ten night trip is only three or four nights.

In any case, it is a wonderful way to see this vast and, to many westerners, mysterious country.

Cruiselines that offer China river cruises include:

Avalon Waterways - books passengers on the Victoria Katarina which is ownned and operated by Victoria Cruises of China. The Katarina is one of the newest ships on the Yangtze (built 2004) and carries 266 passengers.



Uniworld Cruises - has a partnership agreement with Victoria Cruises and they book passengers on five different ships including the newest (Victoria Katarina).
