Welcome Aboard the Victoria Anna, the Victoria Katarina, or the Victoria Star

Victoria Cruises, an American-managed company, operates the largest fleet of vessels with the coveted five-star rating from the China National Tourism Administration. Sailing the Yangtze River aboard a Victoria Cruises ship is an experience of a lifetime, where you’ll enjoy Chinese history, art, lifestyle, and cuisine as you cruise down this legendary waterway. Each of the cruise line’s three state-of-the-art ships, the Victoria Anna, Victoria Katarina, and Victoria Star was designed to meet the highest international cruise ship standards. They offer the most uncompromising levels of comfort, quality, and service you’ll find cruising the Yangtze River today.

The Victoria Anna, which launched in April 2006, boasts the same deluxe style and décor of other Victoria Cruises’ vessels from tastefully appointed cabins and elegant atriums with sparkling chandeliers and gleaming woods to an overall décor throughout of American and European influences with Asian accents. The ship also features a three-story atrium lobby, two restaurants, a cocktail lounge and bars, and all of the amenities Victoria Cruises is famous for, as well as a foot massage center! Guests can appreciate the magnificent views of the Yangtze anytime as all cabins on the Victoria Anna have private balconies along with bathrooms that have both a shower and a tub and television with HBO and CNN broadcasts.

With her stunning beauty, the Victoria Katarina has helped set the revolutionary standard for Yangtze River Cruising. Launched in 2004, she is the first of three sister ships designed by Victoria Cruises. Her double-hull interior, as well as spacious cabin space and private balconies, address the travel needs of all discerning travelers. In addition, the Victoria Katarina is equipped with the latest in communications technology (onboard Internet and instant fax) to ensure you remain in touch with the outside world as you travel through the magnificent Three Gorges.

Awarded 5-Stars by the China National Tourism Administration in 2003, the Victoria Star is the recognized leader on the Yangtze River along with its sister ships, the Prince and Queen. With sky blue lighting glowing from the periphery of high ceilings, and elegant decor throughout the ship's interior, passengers will sail in comfort as they experience the scenery, natural history and culture of the Yangtze. Traveling in sophisticated style, passengers will have on-board internet access, international cable television in living quarters, and international phone service available aboard the ship. Beautifully furnished cabins and suites boast imported marble bathrooms, authentic Shanghainese cotton bed spreads and pillow cases, and private balconies for viewing the scenery of the gorges.

Even with the latest luxuries on these ships, the Victoria advantage lies with the service. With at least one international cruise director on each ship, all passenger needs are not only delivered but exceeded. A warm, hospitable, attentive staff enables travelers to make the most of their time to relax, unwind and enjoy each moment to its fullest while embracing the enchanting river scenes of the Yangtze.

Your mornings might start with a Chinese or western-style breakfast at the Dynasty Dining Room. During the day, you can occupy yourself with land excursions (all included) to the many intriguing stops along the waterway.

After sightseeing, you can relax on the Sun Deck to enjoy the sunset while sipping a cool drink. You will find a selection of traditional Chinese recreational activities to amuse you, such as Tai Chi and mahjong. You can also keep abreast of business or activities back home with the ship’s satellite communications with fax lines found in the Business Center. In the evenings you might enjoy a cocktail in the Yangtze Club followed by dinner in the Dynasty Dining Room.

From the moment you are greeted by the Victoria band upon arrival at the ship, to the presentation of complimentary key chains at the Captain’s Farewell Banquet, Victoria Cruises promises an unforgettable journey down China’s mighty Yangtze River.

Please Note: Victoria Cruises ships are not handicap or wheelchair accessible, and no elevators are available to transport passengers between decks on the Victoria Katarina and Victoria Star — all passengers must use the stairs to access the upper decks and their facilities while on this ship.
