Pioneers of luxury travel in China, Abercrombie and Kent, have come up with a new way for travelers to discover the breathtaking beauty of China’s famed Three Gorges. The Yangzi Explorer will be the first five-star boutique cruise ship of its kind to set sail on the mighty Yangzi River.

Passengers aboard the ship will get to enjoy panoramic views of the river and its dramatic gorges from the private balconies of the cruiser’s 24 spacious suites and 38 deluxe cabins. A series of exciting onboard activities and shore excursions will complete their journey of discovery along China’s historic lifeline, the Yangzi River.

Operating between Yichang and Chongqing, 3-night downstream sailings and 4-night upstream sailings are available. The Yangzi Explorer is expected to make its maiden voyage down the river on July 24.
