Victoria Katarina Cruise Ship Reviews

Cruise Ship Rating: 9.2 out of of 10. Read the reviews from the Real Travelers on yangtze-river-cruises.com, Cruisecritics.com, and tripadvisors.com below to better help your cruise plan.

My wife and I had a very good cruise through the Three Gorges onboard the Victoria Katarina in mid April. Everything went exactly as described in their plan. We were very much impressed by the smooth operation by the ship crew, despite of the large number of passengers at this season. One thing particularly surprised us was that passengers could board the ship as soon as they arrive at the port hours before schedule, which does not happen often in China. This arrangement has eliminated the long lines of waiting for checking in. All the shore excursions were well-organized without a glitch. They spared no effort to ensure every passenger is safe and accounted for. The food onboard was very good and all the ship crew members were courteous and helpful. After the cruise we needed to catch a same day train from Yichang to Zhangjiajie. The Chengdu Bamboo International Tour made special arrangement to pick us up from our last excursion site. They proactively contacted the ship in advance to secure a smooth transition. Because the delay caused by the excursion to the Three Gorge Dam, we thought we were going to miss the train. But the two ladies sent by the agency did a great job rushing us to the train station. Not only they came very early waiting for us , they also called the train station to find out details of the layout of the train station so that we could go straight to the right platform without any delay. Because of their all-out efforts, we got to the train station some 20 minutes ahead of the time, which was absolutely impressive.

We traveled on the Victoria Katarina which is a great choice. Rooms are very comfortable, every one with a small balcony and chairs. Buffet meals were excellent and the staff was very attentive and friendly - and talented as there are two shows provided by the crew during the cruise. Didn't participate in the optional Ghost City tour on the first day but did go on the Empress City optional tour on the second day - highly recommend the tour. Standard tour of Goddess Stream was amazing and not to be missed.

The scenery through all the gorges was lovely, aided by mostly smog free air. The side cruise up the Wu Gorge and Qutang Gorge was a highlight, with breathtaking scenery viewed from a sampan. We skipped the exhausting climb up to Fengdu and the Ghost City, touring an outdoor market instead. It was a relaxing, educational respite in a 3 week trip through China, and we enjoyed it thoroughly.

---- VOLUNTEERGIR, Texas, Oct.12, 2018

Booked a 13-day private tour through Chengdu Bamboo International Tour Company that included the Yangtze River cruise. The whole trip was fantastic and highly recommend this tour company. They booked all interior tours, including the cruise. We went on the Victoria Line cruising on the Katarina. We enjoyed the trip because it gave us a break from the fast pace of Beijing before we went to Shanghai. Our weather was good so the gorges were beautiful. We also enjoyed the side tours. The side tours do require walking up steep steps so be prepared.

Thought I would just post something about the Yangtze cruise we just did. The river cruise itself was just wonderful. So lovely relaxing cruising along the river and seeing the views. We were on the Katarina Cruise boat and we were impressed with it. Though the cabins are not big but for 3 or 4 days this is fine. We did have a very small balcony to sit at and watch the world go by.

Going through the locks was very interesting and the sights during the day are wonderful. If you are doing this cruise take some food on board with you.
