We will be grateful for the services provided. We really liked the China Tour cruise.  more..

Rating: 5 of 5 Stars! [5 of 5 Stars!] by ,

The scenery was fantastic and so were the land tours. The ship had a bit of a musty smell due to the high humidity and outside heat. The AC worked so the temperature in the rooms was ok. However, our clothes all became damp. There should be more European/American food since we aren't used to food with bone in  more..
