Welcome Aboard the Victoria Anna, the Victoria Katarina, or the Victoria Jenna
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 Jenna 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 launched in April 2006. She 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 travellers. 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.
Scheduled to launch in Spring of 2009, the Victoria Jenna will be the largest ship in the Victoria Cruises fleet, and boast the highest passenger capacity of all vessels sailing the mighty Yangtze. The Victoria Jenna will feature the same deluxe style and decor of other Victoria Cruises’ vessels, from tastefully appointed cabins and elegant atriums with sparkling chandeliers and gleaming woods to an overall decor throughout of American and European influences with Asian accents. The Victoria Jenna will have 200 cabins (178 standard accommodations, 16 junior suites, 4 deluxe suites, and 2 Shangri-La suites) for a total passenger capacity of 400 (and a crew of approximately 160).
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.
