First and foremost, we highly recommend Century Cruises. My wife and I are seasoned world travelers. My business and our pleasure travels cover every continent, and all trips and cruises are always at the highest class. I mention that because our exceptions from our first cruise with Century were high. The Century Oasis is a beautiful and very high-end vessel. The rooms (in our case the suite) were beyond any suite we have stayed in on any other major cruise ship. We looked at the standard stateroom and they too were far beyond any equivalent type on any of the major cruise ships – both in size, practicality and appearance and cleanliness. Noteworthy is that the whole cruise is perfectly planned providing ample time to see the river, rest and site-see. The service was outstanding. The personal attention we received from boarding to disembarkation made us feel royal. The food was excellent. Every shore based sightseeing tour was beyond anything we experienced on any other cruise; in any many other countries we have visited. Special compliments to the fantastic Cruise Manager Allan as well to Kira who took personal care of us 7/24. Last but not least we highly recommend the Yangtze River cruise to whoever wants to experience China's heartland and expereince beautiful scenary and culture. To make the best of such a trip we very highly recommend Century Cruises ( at least on the Glory which we saild on)
