Luxury River Cruises in Asia
Take a journey back in time and discover the natural beauty of Asia
with a luxury river cruise. Journey along the mysterious heart of
China, the mighty Yangtze River. See ancient sites and remote villages,
and get an up-close look at the Three Gorges Dam. Enjoy the
extraordinary scenery along the Mekong Delta, with its mist-enshrouded
peaks and dense pines.
The Yangtze River
The Yangtze River, or Chang Jiang, is the longest river in China and Asia, and the third-longest in the world. The river is about 6,380 km long and flows eastwards from its source in Qinghai Province into the East China Sea at Shanghai. As the largest river in the region, the Yangtze is historically, culturally, and economically important to China.
