The extensive network of Asia\u2019s rivers allows cruisers to experience this region from a unique perspective.<\/p>\n

Journey along the mighty Yangtze and Mekong Rivers, a voyage down the Red River towards Halong Bay, meander along the Irrawaddy, Chindwin or Salween Rivers in Myanmar, or unwind surrounded by the serenity of the Kerala backwaters in India.<\/p>\n

A tapestry of intriguing cultures, traditions, lifestyles and scenery awaits.<\/p>\n

China \u2013 Yangtze River<\/h2>\n

The Yangtze River<\/a> is China’s largest and longest river. The shores of the Yangtze present an ever-changing mix of ancient and modern cultures and the sheer magnitude of the gorges are simply breathtaking. You’ll be fascinated by the Three Gorges Dam<\/a> Project; an amazing feat of engineering. Shore excursions take visitors along the Shennong Stream and to sites such as Nanjing, Jiuhuashan (Mountain of Nine Lotuses) and Wuhan.<\/p>\n

Join one of our Classic or Deluxe Tours<\/a> and explore the river as part of a longer adventure through China. If you prefer to travel independently, our 5-day Pure Yangtze<\/a> and 10-day Yangtze in Focus itineraries may be better suited to your travel style.<\/p>\n
