Take a Victoria Cruise on the Yangtze River
Whether you choose the 11 day/8 night vacation package or decide to add a little extra holiday time with the available 4 day/3 night Hong Kong extension, you'll never forget your first Victoria Cruise on the Yangtze River. Also available are extensions to visit Xian, Guilin and Hong Kong or just Xian and Guilin, the choice is yours. Enjoy the lap of luxury as your cruise takes you along China's most vital waterway. With its scenic splendor and awe-inspiring size, this 4th largest river in the world will capture your innermost imagination and emotions. But your trip won't just be on the water. You'll stay in comfortable hotels also as you travel among some of China's most historic cities.
A Vacation Package Like No Other, Plan a Victoria Cruise on the Yangtze River
A Cathay Pacific flight takes you from the USA to Beijing, where you will cross the International Date Line and enter another land, one seemingly forgotten by time. A tour guide will meet you there and take you to your hotel. The capital of China has many wonders to behold and you will have the opportunity to see many of them during your visit. A fully planned itinerary offers convenient scheduling and plenty of freedom to travel. You'll take a short flight to the city of Yichang where you'll board your Victoria Cruise. The Yangtze River is yours to enjoy as you drift along on your luxurious Victoria Cruise. A visit to the Three Gorges Dam will surely impress, as much as the mountainous waterways humble your soul. An arrival in Chongqing will put you on a flight to Shanghai as you start the next leg of your tour. A delightful visit to Shanghai ends your vacation unless you optioned for an extension, where you will visit the cities of Xian, Guilin and Hong Kong for the ultimate vacation package.
