Smooth booking and beautiful scenery

Our Yangtze cruise on Victoria Isabella was part of a longer China tour arranged by Asia Odyssey Travel. We had visited Shanghai, Guilin, and Xi’an before joining the cruise in Chongqing.
The cruise was a welcome break from busy sightseeing. The ship was comfortable, and our cabin had a balcony with excellent views. The main guides spoke good English and explained the schedule clearly. Excursions were interesting and not too rushed.
The ship is a solid mid-range choice. It was clean, well managed, and enjoyable. We were happy with Asia Odyssey Travel’s recommendation.

A Close-Up Experience of the Three Gorges Dam

My husband and I joined Yangtze Miracle as part of our China holiday arranged by Asia Odyssey Travel. Our trip included Zhangjiajie, Chongqing, the Yangtze cruise, and Shanghai.
The cruise was a nice change of pace after several days of walking. Yangtze Miracle was comfortable and had a lively but not noisy atmosphere. Our balcony cabin was clean and had a good view.
Food was mainly Chinese with some Western choices. We enjoyed trying local flavors. Asia Odyssey Travel arranged everything smoothly, including the transfer to the pier. It was a very satisfying experience.

A Close-Up Experience of the Three Gorges Dam

We booked Victoria Isabella through Asia Odyssey Travel for the Chongqing to Yichang route. It was our first river cruise in China, and overall we had a very good experience.
The ship was comfortable and clean. Our balcony cabin was not huge, but it had enough space for two people and our luggage. We used the balcony often, especially when sailing through the Three Gorges.
The food was a mix of Chinese and Western dishes. Some meals were better than others, but we always found something we liked. The staff worked very hard and were polite.
Asia Odyssey Travel gave us clear instructions before the trip, so boarding in Chongqing was easier than expected. Victoria Isabella is not ultra-luxury, but it offers very good value.
