A Close-Up Experience of the Three Gorges Dam
My husband and I joined Yangtze Miracle as part of our China holiday arranged by Asia Odyssey Travel. Our trip included Zhangjiajie, Chongqing, the Yangtze cruise, and Shanghai.
The cruise was a nice change of pace after several days of walking. Yangtze Miracle was comfortable and had a lively but not noisy atmosphere. Our balcony cabin was clean and had a good view.
Food was mainly Chinese with some Western choices. We enjoyed trying local flavors. Asia Odyssey Travel arranged everything smoothly, including the transfer to the pier. It was a very satisfying experience.

A Close-Up Experience of the Three Gorges Dam
We booked Victoria Isabella through Asia Odyssey Travel for the Chongqing to Yichang route. It was our first river cruise in China, and overall we had a very good experience.
The ship was comfortable and clean. Our balcony cabin was not huge, but it had enough space for two people and our luggage. We used the balcony often, especially when sailing through the Three Gorges.
The food was a mix of Chinese and Western dishes. Some meals were better than others, but we always found something we liked. The staff worked very hard and were polite.
Asia Odyssey Travel gave us clear instructions before the trip, so boarding in Chongqing was easier than expected. Victoria Isabella is not ultra-luxury, but it offers very good value.

A highlight of our first trip to China
This was our first visit to China, and the Yangtze Miracle cruise was one of the highlights. The ship was modern and comfortable. Our cabin had a balcony, and we spent a lot of time there taking photos.
The cruise was easy, scenic, and a good break in the middle of a busy China itinerary. I would recommend Yangtze Miracle to younger couples or first-time visitors
