My wife and I chose Yangzi Explorer because we wanted a quieter and more upscale Yangtze cruise. Asia Odyssey Travel recommended it, and their advice was spot on.
The ship felt refined rather than flashy. There were fewer passengers than on many big cruise ships, which made the experience more personal. Our suite was large, clean, and had a proper balcony. Sitting there with tea while passing through Wu Gorge was a real highlight.
The guides spoke good English and gave useful background without talking too much. Shore excursions were well organized. We also appreciated that the pace was not rushed.
The only small downside was that some evening entertainment was simple, but honestly, we came for the scenery and comfort. Overall, a wonderful experience and a very smooth booking with Asia Odyssey Travel.
