With just 62 balcony suites - the largest on the Yangtze - this ship sets a new standard in Yangtze River cruising, offering the intimacy and opulence guests have come to expect from an APT river cruise.
Sanctuary M.S. Yangzi Explorer is not only the most exclusive river ship on the Yangtze, it's one of the most luxurious river ships in the world. Unlike standard river ships on the Yangtze River, which can accommodate up to 400 guests, the Sanctuary M.S. Yangzi Explorer offers a genuinely intimate experience, with only 62 luxury suites on board. The boutique size of the vessel allows it to access ports and tributaries that other ships simply can't reach. With more than one staff member to every guest on board, you're certain to experience personalised and intuitive service that's second to none.
