VICTORIA CRUISES
DEBUTS
VICTORIA
JENNA
The largest fleet
of five-star vessels on China’s Yangtze River just grew larger
when Victoria Cruises introduced Victoria
Jenna last fall. The line’s most luxurious
vessel to date, Victoria Jenna
carries 378 passengers. It has 35 junior suites, three deluxe suites
and two elegant
Shangri-La suites, and is the most spacious, most technologically
advanced
river
cruise ship in the world.
Opening routes make
daily departures in each
direction on the Yangtze
River.
Feature
package is the popular ‘Three Gorges
Highlights’ which includes onboard activities such as Tai Chi lessons,
plus a visit to the huge dam in Sandouping that has literally
‘reconstructed’ the
river and life along its shores. Package starts at $980 p/person double
during high season; $920 during March, June thru Aug., and Nov. 2010.
Plans are underway to
renovate sister ships Victoria Anna and Victoria
Katarina to include the exclusive
“Executive Suite Decks” offered on Victoria
Jenna, featuring concierge service, suite accommodations, a private
lounge
area and à la carte restaurant.
