The East King










Our ship, the East King must be commented on, because it is so wonderful. With only 80 cabins, at full capacity there are only 160 guests on board! The food was wonderful, and with a "west meets east" buffet for breakfast and lunch - everyone could find something they loved. The evening meals were events - with a Captain's welcome dinner and an Emperor's feast - you can see the emperor himself at the entrance!










Other things the boat included were a spa, a library, many indoor and outdoor sitting areas to admire the view, a small fitness centre and a doctor that was able to give acupuncture and cupping as well as traditional medical assessments.

One of the highlights for many is the Three Gorges Dam and locks. The ship goes though the 5 locks - and it is a man-made marvel to watch. A visit to the 90% complete dam was incredible, you cannot believe how big it is. (there was also the most amazing washrooms - but you will have to ask your travel advisor about that!)...
