✨This cruise experience exceeded my expectations! The ship was clean and elegant, the food was plentiful and delicious, and the service was attentive and thoughtful. The river breeze and views during the cruise were incredibly soothing. Disembarking at shore allowed for exploration, the pace was relaxed and unhurried, and the whole family had a wonderful time. A fantastic vacation, highly recommended! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the public areas had a wonderful atmosphere. There were many dining options, from main courses to snacks, so you could satisfy your cravings anytime. I'll definitely come back! The butler, Xiong Luxi, from the Century Voyage Performing Arts Department, provided excellent service; she was very attentive and a beautiful young woman.

Six years later, we took our family on a Century Cruises trip through the Three Gorges again, and the experience was superb. The Glory's interior facilities are relatively new, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The dining deserves special praise; there were almost no repeated dishes throughout the trip, and we were very satisfied with every meal. Moreover, the cruise staff were very welcoming and provided attentive service, making us feel right at home. The interactive games and entertainment performances were also excellent, ensuring we were never bored on board. The picturesque scenery along the banks was truly delightful.

I brought my wife, a woman in her 30s. In my youth, I traveled upstream through the Three Gorges from Yichang, but this experience was completely different. Back then, the Three Gorges Dam wasn't built yet, the Gezhouba Dam's No. 3 lock was in its prime, the Three Gorges were towering cliffs, the Xiling Gorge was littered with garbage, and the Lesser Three Gorges still had boat trackers. Now, apart from the Qutang Gorge and the Qutang Gorge, the natural scenery of the other sections of the Yangtze isn't particularly breathtaking. But I don't complain; it's a different kind of experience. Enjoying the scenery on both banks of the Yangtze on the now exceptionally clean water, feeling its relentless flow, and experiencing its constant renewal. The activities were well-planned, well-paced, and meaningful. Everyone could choose and arrange their time according to the day's itinerary. Coincidentally, it was the third day of the cruise, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my wife and I even made mooncakes and glutinous rice cakes. The rooms were small but well-designed, cozy, and comfortable. The staff were diligent in cleaning the rooms without making us feel disturbed; we never encountered any issues. The buffet wasn't particularly amazing, but the selection was plentiful, and you could tell the kitchen was dedicated to the food and responsible to their guests. The servers were all very enthusiastic and polite young people. More than half the passengers were foreigners, and the children were very generous with their bilingual service; I heard they take a vacation every three months. We were very fortunate that the weather was ideal throughout the voyage. When we departed from Chaotianmen, the moon was bright and the stars were few; we set off under the moonlight amidst the dazzling night view of Chaotianmen. It was cloudy when we passed through the Qutang and Wu Gorges. The wind was incredibly strong on the top deck, but we didn't have to suffer from the scorching sun while crossing the Three Gorges. I don't know why there were no shore excursions to Baidi City. I visited Baidi City years ago and looked towards the Qutang Gorge from there. Back then, the Three Gorges Dam resettlement hadn't started on a large scale yet; now, I hope the Three Gorges migrants have settled down and prospered in their new homes. The only downside was that four days and three nights was too short. I wish I could have enjoyed a longer vacation on the ship! 😄

Choosing Century Dream Cruises for this trip was a great success. Firstly, this was Century Dream's second voyage since its maiden voyage on September 21, 2026. The ship was brand new, the cabins were cozy, the service was attentive, and the facilities were comprehensive, including a bar, laundry room, fitness center, and KTV. The food was plentiful and varied. Secondly, both onboard and shore activities were well-organized. Thirdly, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the complimentary airport shuttle service made travel convenient. Overall, the experience was fantastic! I hope more tourists will choose Century Dream Cruises!

I still prefer departing from Yichang to Chongqing, as this allows me to enjoy an extra day on the cruise. I love the quiet waiting amidst the towering gorges and placid lakes, the breeze from the Yangtze River on the sun deck, lying on the deck watching cargo ships drift by, the glittering lights along the banks at night, and the sound of giant ships churning the water. Standing atop the Three Gorges, watching the Yangtze River surge into the Qutang Gorge, and seeing giant ships navigating the 8,000-meter-deep Qutang Gorge like tiny boats. The happiest part of each day is still the three meals: fresh ingredients, diverse selection, generous portions—the food waits for you, not the other way around, allowing ample time to savor each bite. This cruise trip far exceeded my expectations; I could lie back, de-stress, and be as comfortable as possible, returning to my carefree self. I sincerely hope you experience it and truly enjoy it…

Overall, the experience was quite good. We were on the fourth deck and barely felt any shaking or noise. The cruise ship is relatively old. Since it caters to foreign guests, some facilities are quite international, but it's a good place to practice your spoken English, as the crew speaks excellent English. You can also see some very pretty foreign girls. Because there are foreign guests, the food, while plentiful, is... relatively average and bland. Recreational facilities include a gym, a card room (for a fee), and a bar. The sights along the way are basically the same for all cruise ships. The Three Gorges Summit is beautiful and worth visiting, but our guide there wasn't very professional and had a poor attitude, offering very little explanation. We only got a few words of explanation after reaching the top of the mountain, thanks to a request from one of the older members of our group. The guide at Fengdu Ghost City was excellent, very professional, and provided exceptional service, offering bilingual commentary. However, the attraction itself is average; it's educational but not very engaging. The entire itinerary was quite relaxed, with shuttle service to and from shore attractions and minimal walking or climbing, so it wasn't tiring at all. One drawback of this ship is that there's some obstruction in front of the deck, which makes the view through the Qutang Gorge less than ideal. No matter where you stand, you can't enjoy the scenery completely unobstructed. Of course, if you stay in a large suite, there's a private viewing platform with no obstructions. Overall, it's not bad.
