China Discovery Tours is proud to announce that we
are working exclusively with Century Cruises, the only
cruise line with its five cruise ships all built after 2003.
Century Cruises is also the only cruise line with its
spacious cabins all installed with private balcony for
viewing the Three Gorges scenery.
Century Cruises offers a highly advanced water
filtration process that enables the use of purified water
throughout all aspects of the cruise. It is the only cruise
line that has installed a superb bar on deck 6 with a
panoramic view. The cruise ship is also endowed with
midship observation elevators providing convenience
and unparalleled view of the Yangtze
The facilities include a business center, reading room,
fitness area, sauna and massage room, internet café,
gift shop and beauty salon. Onboard activities feature
lectures on Chinese History and culture, Tai Chi lessons, and
calligraphy demonstrations. Narratives by knowledgeable
river guides, latest satellite communications and
HBO/CNN make it that much more enjoyable onboard.
In each cabin is a deluxe king-sized bed (or two large
single beds) with 5-Star Hilton Hotel Standard linens
and personal grooming articles. A good night's sleep
is further assured by the distance of each cabin from
the engine.
Century Cruises brings you a sophisticated restaurant
with a capacity of more than 300 people, serving both
Chinese and Western cuisine. The vessels also installed
advanced central ventilation systems and antivibration
systems onboard. According to the China

A compelling way to add to the exciting adventure of China
is to include the Yangtze River in your travel plans. As the
longest river in China, the Yangtze is a significant part
of Chinese history, culture and economy. Its picturesque
gorges, valleys and vistas have been admired and written
about in Chinese lore for thousands of years. As "the cradle
of Chinese civilization" the Yangtze and Three Gorges Dam
provide for cargo shipping, hydroelectric power, flood
control, and water for agriculture - all of which are vital to
China's economic growth.
