Has anyone taken the Yangtze River Tour offered by Princess as a Pre-cruise tour? What riverboat company do they use? Thanks, Gorka.

I dont know which line Princess uses, but we are doing a land based trip to China with a river cruise. We are using Victoria cruise line for our 4 night river/gorges cruise.

We just returned home a couple of weeks ago from doing the 21-day Sapphire Princess Yangtze River cruisetour #5 that did a 9-day pre-cruisetour with a 3-day adventure down the Yangtze river.

 

The riverboat they used was the Victoria Star, a nice boat that had a little (2 chair) balcony off of each cabin. That was great to watch all the sights going by, and there were many! The cabin was comfortable and clean. I would say that this boat was about as nice as any we saw on the river.

 

The tour was all 1st class with every meal (except one in Beijing) included. The hotels were all very nice.

 

Let me know if you need anymore specific information.

Thanks for the info--we like to know what to look forward to. Gorka.

crusin andy, Thanks!! I called our TA and asked about the ship for our river cruise. She said it was also the Victoria Star. It is nice to know of someone who was on it. Are suits required for men at dinner? I have all of our clothing planned except for this portion of our trip.
