I heard that exploring the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River costs over 100000 yuan? Have many international celebrities also sat there? First, let's talk about the origin of this ship: "Yangtze River Exploration", formerly known as "Oriental Queen", was jointly built by Abercrombie&Kent, the world's top luxury tourism customizer, and Hubei Royal Yangtze River Tourist Boat Co., Ltd., and managed by Sanctuary Retreats, a company owned by Abercrombie&Kent. The company has many luxury hunting hotels and luxury camps in places rarely visited by Botswana, Kenya, Zambia, etc., and operates high-end cruise lines in the Nile, Irrawaddy and Yangtze River.

It has received Bill before International celebrities such as Gates, Buffett, Kissinger, and the Rockefeller family visited the Three Gorges, and the four celebrity suites on board were named after them.
Bill Gates highly praised the trip to the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River Exploration, stating that it was the "best way to travel" and leaving a message in his room saying "Thank you for your wonderful hospitality".

Is Yangtze River Exploration the Most Luxurious Cruise in Three Gorges?
yes! Firstly, Yangtze River Exploration is the only Three Gorges cruise ship on the Yangtze River with a service ratio close to 1:1, due to its small passenger capacity and large per capita space. There are 62 suites on board, with a maximum of 124 guests served by 121 service personnel.
