Victoria Queen

The Victoria Lianna (Queen) offers graceful public areas, with high ceilings carved with delicate craft and detail. Personal service and colorful activities onboard greatly enhance the cruising experience. Shore excursions are elaborately arranged and focus on the Yangtze's unique destinations.

 

Ship
The Victoria Queen is ~12 years old but has recently been expanded and refurbished for cruising the Yangtze.

 

Everything looked fresh and new. There is no smoking on board except outside on the back of the ship, so there are no bad odors onboard. This ship has five public decks. The dining room is on floor 1, there are rooms on floors 1-4, mini suites on floors 2-4 and suites on floor 2 and an observation deck on floor 5. On floor 3 there is a library/ lecture room. On floor 4 there is a work-out center, card room, beauty parlor, and the Yangtze Club, which is the bar, internet center, entertainment venue and best observation area on the ship.

 

Cabin
The cabin is spacious. All cabins are at least 210 sq ft and had a balcony, which is the width of the cabin and only two feet deep. Just wide enough for the two patio chairs. The cabin has two comfortable twin beds. Each bed has two fluffy and soft pillows. The sheets are soft and the bed was topped with a duvet. This is the most comfortable bed I slept in, in all of China. The room has great air-conditioning.

 

The room has a TV with HBO and several other English speaking news channels. The TV is located high up the wall and was viewable from the two beds.

 

There is a small closet and bench for placing your suitcase. The bathroom is quite large. There is a sink and large countertop, WC and large tub/shower combination. There is always plenty of hot water. The room is supplied with high quality shampoos, shower gels, soaps and lotions.
