Tour Overview

Embark on a 5-day odyssey with Victoria Cruises from Yichang, tracing the Yangtze’s legendary Three Gorges—a living scroll of dramatic cliffs, cultural treasures, and untold stories. Greet misty dawns with sunrise Tai Chi on deck, coffee in hand, as emerald valleys emerge like strokes of an ink-wash painting. Walk in the footsteps of poets at Qu Yuan’s Hometown, stand in awe of humanity’s triumph at the Three Gorges Dam, and glide through Shennong Stream’s jade waters on wooden sampans. From White Emperor City’s ancient battlements to Fengdu’s eerie "Ghost City" legends, every bend whispers history.

As dusk falls, toast with champagne at the Captain’s Gala while Tujia dancers swirl in vibrant silks, then step into a dynastic fashion spectacle where emperors and empresses come alive. Your journey crescendos as Chongqing’s neon-lit terraces rise like a celestial staircase—the glittering “Mountain City” crowning your voyage through China’s liquid heartland.

Tour Highlights

  • Immersive Culture: Tai Chi, minority dances, and dynastic fashion shows.
  • Dual Perspectives: Sail through ship elevators AND witness dam grandeur.
  • Flexible Exploration: Curated optional excursions for history buffs and adventurers.
  • Let Victoria’s elegance frame your Yangtze story—where every ripple whispers legends.
