- Leading Guest-Space Ratio: A guest-space ratio of approximately 1:50 places it among the world’s top-tier cruise ships, offering more spacious and comfortable public and private areas.

- Tailored Shore Excursions: Each shore excursion route is exclusively designed to lead you to landscapes and cultural sites beyond the reach of ordinary tourists, offering a unique and privileged experience.
- Locally-Engaged & Sustainable Philosophy: We prioritize the use of local, seasonal, and fresh ingredients, presenting the authentic flavors of the Yangtze through local cooking techniques.
