Victoria Cruises doing OK!

In light of the recent shutdown of Cruise West and subsequent concern over small cruise lines, American-managed Victoria Cruises, which offers five-star river cruises on China's mist-shrouded Yangtze – has assured the public that cruise business is actually doing quite well in China despite the economic difficulties faced by most travel entities around the world.



“The economies of the U.S. and European Union have affected our percentages of Western guests, but they have not hurt our business,” added Greenman, noting that this is due to the rapidly growing middle class in China, who are for the first time in the country's history able to travel their own heritage. “Western guests now have more opportunities to take away first-hand experiences by communicating with Chinese guests," he explained.



Victoria Cruises’ most popular program is the Three Gorges Highlights itinerary featuring excursions to the impressive Three Gorges Dam in San Dou Ping, and the “Ghost City” of Fengdu at Mingshan Hill and a sailing experience through the impressive Small Gorges of the Daning River one of the Yangtze’s tributaries. 



Rates for Victoria Cruises’ highly-acclaimed Three Gorges Highlights program (four nights upstream or three nights downstream) between Chongqing and Yichang start from $880 per person, based on double occupancy, during peak season (April, May, September and October), and $810 per person, based on double occupancy, during the shoulder season (March, June, July, August and November).
