The spacious cabins with balconies make it better match the beautiful landscapes of Yangtze River and supply the visitors with more comfortable accommodation; the wide public area supply the visitors with a more free travel. Visitors can listen to the nature and feel the gorges in a nice space.
Its reticent beauty is intellectual and quiet. The cabins here are superior and the beds here are bigger. It’s pretty easy for you to spend an idle day here, you can bask in the sun, feel the wind, or even be absorbed in meditation on the promenade deck. The Blue Whale starts a new era of advanced instruments and construction patterns of the cruise ships on the Yangtze River since it is equipped with first-class communication and navigation equipments, such as GPS and radar.
The meticulous services on the Blue Whale provide the visitors with a warm and comfortable environment. The exquisite western food here is really amazing while the local Chinese food here also enjoys a high praise among the visitors around the world, such as the Sichuan-style dishes and the Jiangsu-style dishes.
