Review summary

This is a cruise-tour in China that included several hotel accomodations and flights, plus the cruise part of the trip. The land part of the trip was exceptional, the hotels were 5 stars plus, and the flights and transportation were done just right. Our general experience was very good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship in general was very nice\, clean and with many extras\, like a small gym\, a spa and massage place\, some shops.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

We were on deck 3\, and had a very humid stateroom\, like many other passanger. Our luggage and clothes inside them returned home very damp. The high humidity in the rooms made them very uncomfortable.

Pros: The ports that we visited\, the hotel accomodations\, and the service on board

Cons: The optional Peking Opera was not what we expected\, very boring.

A great cultural experience and trip
