I spent eight days aboard the Victoria Jenna, and it was an immersive and surprisingly comfortable experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking to deeply explore the Three Gorges region. Boarding in Chongqing was quick and efficient. The staff was well-organized, welcoming, and helpful from the very first moment on board. The Victoria Jenna’s cabins perfectly combine modern design with elegant traditional Chinese touches. I stayed in a Superior Cabin with a balcony—spacious, tastefully furnished, impeccably clean, and offering breathtaking views of the river. The ship truly lacks nothing: there’s a fitness center, sauna, lounge bar, two restaurants, lounges, souvenir shops, and even a theater for evening performances. The shore excursions were well-organized and diverse, ranging from a visit to the Three Gorges Dam to discovering ancient temples and historic villages along the riverbanks. In particular, I recommend not missing the excursion to the Shibaozhai Pagoda.
