Excellent cruise ship. Staff and crew absolutely wonderful and nothing too much trouble. Food was excellent. Can highly recommend.
My wife and I booked a cruise downstream from Chongqing to to Yichang on the Yangtze 2 in June, 2012 through CITS (China International Travel Service). We were very pleased with our experience. Felix Hu at CITS was great to work with–responding quickly and thoroughly to all our questions by phone to the United States. The Yangtze 2 is a lovely boat, our tour guide was informed and helpful, and there we enjoyed the other passengers. The experience on the Yangtze met all our expectations–very interesting cruise, entertainment, and side trips. We highly recommend this trip to anyone.
