In 2025, the Yangzi Explorer will welcome a brand-new hull to take over its service. Designed by world-class inland ship design institutes and international interior designers, it is currently the largest cruise ship in the world capable of navigating ship lifts. The new Yangzi Explorer, while inheriting the original style and service quality, will undergo a new transformation, continuing to lead the service standards of Yangzi River cruises and redefining luxury cruising on the Yangzi.
