About Yangtze 3

Yangtze 3 is Changjiang Cruises’ newest-generation hull. The design emphasizes layout, interiors, propulsion, vibration and noise control, and energy use — with a focus on lower impact, onboard comfort, and ship systems. New materials and finishes are used throughout. CCS lists her as the first inland-river cruise in China to hold the relevant classification marks together. Confirm the live ship profile if a guest asks for the exact notations.

She is about 17,000 GT, with eight decks, 250 cabins in 11 categories, and up to 600 guests. Three restaurants cover different dining rooms. Public space typically includes a central promenade, Xinghai Bar, a water-play area, a theater, a gym, karaoke, a card room, and a children’s play area.

Changjiang sells Yangtze 3 as a one-ticket product with butler service on board. That covers the arranged ship program printed on the itinerary. Confirm meals, shore list, and butler coverage on your dates before you pay.
