Yangtze cruise on Century Glory

We recently returned from a Yangtze cruise on the new Century Glory ship. All of our arrangements were made by Vivien Li from China Discovery. We corresponded by email with Vivien. She was wonderful and gave us great advice.
The ship has only been in service for a few weeks. The crew went beyond our expectations to help us in English. The ship is very pretty. The nightly entertainment was produced by the crew members and they were very good. We enjoyed the optional tour to the ghost city.

Luxury Done Right

The Century Voyage was pure luxury! From the moment I stepped onboard, I was impressed by the attention to detail. The cabins were spacious, beautifully designed, and had amazing river views. The staff was exceptional—always helpful, professional, and fluent in English, which made communication so easy. Shoutout to Asia Odyssey Travel for suggesting this brand-new cruise — it was the perfect way to experience the Yangtze!

Amazing Food and Modern Comforts

I loved every moment onboard the Century Voyage! The facilities are top-notch—modern, elegant, and designed for comfort. The dining experience was a highlight; the food was delicious, with both local Chinese dishes and international options. Plus, it’s all included in the price! The onboard activities were fun and engaging, from cultural performances to relaxing yoga sessions. Asia Odyssey Travel recommended this cruise, and they really nailed it. Everything felt so polished and well-organized.
