Yangtze River | Wendy Wu Tours

Stretching over 3,000 miles from the glaciers of the Tibetan plateau to the East China Sea, the Yangtze River is Asia’s longest river and has played a pivotal role in the history of China. It was on these river banks that some of the earliest Chinese cultures existed, and ever since it has been essential for China's agriculture, transportation and the development of the country's economy.

Sail through the heart of China in comfort and style with our trusted partner Victoria Cruises, the longest-running American-managed cruise line on the Yangtze River. Blending comfort with cultural depth, Victoria Cruises offers expert-led shore excursions to the mighty Three Gorges Dam, centuries-old cliffside temples, and vibrant riverside towns.

We use all five of the ships in the Victoria Cruises’ fleet – Anna, Jenna, Katarina, Sabrina and Isabella. You can expect stylish, outward-facing cabins with private balconies located on the main deck, plenty of onboard entertainment, delicious regional cuisine, and English-speaking staff throughout.

Highlights along the Yangtze

Discover some of China's most breathtaking natural beauty, fascinating culture and manmade wonders as you sail along this specactular river.

1 Three Gorges Dam

A massive feat of engineering, the dam, at over two kilometres in length, is the world’s largest hydroelectric power station. Visiting the viewing area above the ship locks you will be able to truly appreciate the scale of this impressive project.
2 Shennong Stream

Take a small boat excursion to discover the tranquil Shennong Stream as it flows south through heavily forested gorges, past cascading waterfalls and coloured springs before merging with the Yangtze.
3 Qutang Gorge

The shortest and narrowest of the Three Gorges is renowned for its dramatic scenery with towering limestone cliffs, sheer rock faces, and ancient inscriptions along the river creating breathtaking views.

Known for its ethereal beauty, featuring steep mountains often shrouded in mist. The Wu Gorge’s famous 'Twelve Peaks' are a highlight, with peaks like Goddess Peak standing tall, creating an enchanting atmosphere.
5 Xiling Gorge

The longest of the Three Gorges has been renowned for its spectacular scenery for centuries. Before the construction of the dam this was also one of the most feared sections of the river with raging rapids and dangerous shoals.
