Three
elegant sister ships, all built in Germany and all 5 star awarded, - that is why China
Regal Cruises claimed to be offering the ultimate cruise experience on the Yangtze River.
Princess Jeanie, along with Princess Elaine and Princess Sheena, was designed to western
standard of safety and refinement. Built in 1993 and entered service in 1994, Princess
Jeannie is 424 feet long and 52 feet wide. Equipped with three independent engines (3x1000
BHP), it sails at 22 knots upstream and at 30 knots downstream on the Yangtze River. It
has 5 decks and a capacity of 258 passengers. With most advanced navigation equipment
on the ship, it features fully stabilization, quiet operation, and highest safety. All the
public in-door halls or decks were well furnished and elegantly decorated. There are two
dining rooms aboard, the Emperor ’s Dining offers both provincial gourmet dishes from various
regions of China and Western cuisine in an elegant dining setting, while the Golden
Pavilion Dining offers buffet style Western cuisine and Chinese fare. Other facilities
include a 100 people capacity ballroom, where live music and traditional Chinese
performance such as opera, dance and acrobatics are occasionally offered, a Lotus Bar and
a Misty Lounge, beauty salon, tanning salon, in-room massage, sauna, spa and fitness
center, gift shop and postal. There is also a business center completed with satellite
communication, telephone and fax and copy service.
The outstanding service of Regal China Cruises has been one of the important reasons
that they have had year-round high occupancies in recent years. A 10-piece brass band
heralds the travelers’ arrival and a hot tea service greets each guest in-room.
Housekeeping department checks rooms twice daily to ensure supplies are replenished.
Nightly turndown service includes a delicious chocolate on every pillow, along with a cozy
pair of Chinese slippers and luxurious robe of lounging in each suite. With more than 150
staff aboard each vessel and a combination of western style management and superb Asian
hospitality, they claim that all the guests will receive the kind of service unsurpassed
even in some of China ’s best hotels.
While traveling in comfort and style, witnessing the breathtaking sights of legendary
Yangtze waterway, guests are also given many chances to immerse themselves in Chinese
culture, art and lifestyles. They can go to lessons in Chinese language, shadow boxing,
Tai-chi, Mah-Johng, card games or calligraphy at their own interests.
