Sanctuary Ms Yangzi Explorer is an internationally managed five-star cruise ship sailing the Yangzi River. With a complement of only 124 passengers, the cruise offers attentive service in relaxed and intimate surroundings.

Embark on shore excursions in the company of experienced and knowledgeable experts in the river’s history and ecology, then return for an elegant dinner prepared by an executive chef, followed by a nightcap in the lounge. With on-board amenities ranging from a spa and fitness center to a theater and espresso bar, it sets a new standard for luxury and comfort on one of the most spectacular waterways on earth.

Sanctuary Ms Yangzi Explorer cruises downstream from Chongqing to Yichang (3 nights) and upstream from Yichang to Chongqing (4 nights), with shore excursions at Fengdu, Shennong Stream and the Three Gorges Dam Project.

Unparalleled accommodation

Because Yangzi Explorer’s complement is limited to 124 passengers, her staterooms set a new standard in spaciousness and elegance, from a roomy Deluxe Cabin to the palatial, 828 square-foot Imperial Suite. All cabins and suites feature private balconies, affording a unique view of the gently scrolling landscape.

Comfort and convenience

Yangzi Explorer includes all the amenities you would expect at a first-class hotel, including a fitness center, Internet access throughout the ship, laundry service and a multi-language library. To ensure your comfort on board, smoking is not permitted in internal areas and mobile phone use is confined to private areas.

The finest expertise

Adding context to your journey, Yangzi Explorer’s on-board Sinologist coordinates a range of educational programs and shore excursions, unraveling the myriad of historical, cultural and environmental factors that have made the Yangzi so integral to 3,000 years of Chinese history.

Responsible tourism

Yangzi Explorer is one of the first Yangtze River cruises to embrace the full spectrum of ecologically friendly tourism, including responsible sewage disposal, recycling facilities and other measures that ensure the ship is energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
