While there is a
large number and variety of cruise ships sailing through marvelous Yangtze Gorges, we are
proud to feature one of the most valuable and most luxurious & the fabulous
"Yangtze Angel". Built in 1995 and furbished in recent years, this five star
winning vessel combines sophistication and elegance, well known for her novel design,
graceful outline and deluxe deco. At a length of 91.5 m and a width of 16.4 m with a draft
of 2.65 m, she is installed with two main engines of 3840 h.p in total, which makes it to
sail at a maximum speed of 30 km per hour in still water. Same as the Blue Whale and
others, this is the one we keep receiving high scoring from our past clients¡¯ feedback
as well as a "best is here" promise from a confident management team.Being
one of the largest deluxe cruise ships on the Yangtze waterway, the Angel was not designed
for holding more people but for giving people more space to stretch out and explore. With
a maximum capacity of 146 people, it is "small" enough to be intimate and
personable. There are 2 luxurious and best located president suites, 6 deluxe single
suites, 6 deluxe singles (including one specially designed for disables), and 62 standard
staterooms, 36 of which even have a private balcony attached. All the suites and cabins
are superbly appointed, with private bathrooms, air-conditioning, circuit TV, satellite
telephone and all of the creature comforts found on the Western style deluxe cruisers. The
public areas are well laid out and beautifully furnished. This modern ship accommodates
all aspects of freestyle cruising with a variety of amenities, such as gym, coffee house,
video cinema, bar, ballroom, karaoke, gift shop, beauty parlor, sauna and massage.
Eating is always a favorite activity on cruises, and compliments of an excellent
culinary staff, the food aboard the Angel is outstanding,. Both provincial gourmet dishes
from various regions of China and Western cuisine are served to satisfy all tastes and
appetites. There are lots of entertainment activities such as "Taiji" teaching,
traditional opera, local dancing performance and some games aboard day and night. The
cruise staff was very good ¨C they let you know what was going on but were never pushy or
intrusive.
Everyone was provided a welcoming, unpretentious environment, feeling free to set his
or her own pace.
For a good time, the Angel has been successfully attracting more tourists each year.
With grand style, superior design, well-appointed accommodations, attentive service and
award-winning cuisine, the Angel is truly a floating luxury resort, filled with everything
you ever could imagine, to carry you on the journey of your dreams. In the most of first
half of 2003, the Angle will be sailing between Yichang and Chongqing. In the second half,
it will be sailing between Shashi and Chongqing.
