Sanctuary Yangzi Explorer

Adventure, enchantment and ‘Luxury, naturally’ - all delivered with a quiet, understated charm and understanding of place – is the guiding philosophy of Sanctuary Retreats and the luxury cruise ship Sanctuary Yangzi Explorer. The Sanctuary Yangzi Explorer has introduced a new standard of cruising to China. With the largest cabins and the highest crew to passenger ratio on the river, this is a cruise unlike any other.

Life aboard the spacious Sanctuary Yangzi Explorer is tranquil and unhurried. And with only 62 cabins, and fewer passengers than other boats, the journey is more relaxed. On-board facilities include a la carte dining, a luxury spa, an observation deck, 24-hour room service, a two-floor theater, business center, fitness center, suite lounge, photo corner, gift shops and private function rooms. A doctor also travels aboard.
