Why Victoria Katarina?

Explore the Chinese Culture

Yangtze River cruises should be one of the most admirable experiences that you can have in your life. Enjoying the journey that offers both comfort and a deep insight into the Chinese culture is not something that most travelers expect to see while exploring a country. The Victoria Katarina cruise is here to help you ensure that you travel the farthest into the Chinese culture and see what you did not explore before.

Modern & Elegant Decoration

The inside of the cruise ship is designed with a blend of modern and elegant architecture that is more than enough to give a five-star feel to its guests. The cabins are spacious and comfortable, designed in the style that can add more to your feelings of being on a vacation. Every cabin has its own private balcony, which is becoming a trademark for the Yangtze River Cruise line.

Plenty of Things to Do

The Victoria Katarina cruise ship docks on several shores where an English speaking guide will give you a tour of the main attractions in that area. Visitors usually do not come to such places because they are far from the city lights, but since you are on a Yangtze River cruise, you will experience plenty of unexplored places along the riverside.

If you are tired of the tours on the shores, you can visit the onboard massage room to calm your nerves and get back in your comfortable shoes. Enjoy the onboard restaurant and enjoy delicious Chinese cuisines. Moreover, you can enjoy your evenings on the deck with a glass of the finest wine or you can join any of onboard parties and have fun.

Victoria Katarina cruise ship is the great escape you have been looking for, so make sure to book your tickets in time so that you do not have to wait in lines to get your cruise booking confirmed.
