A Century Yangtze river cruise is one of the most requested options on the river, mostly because the fleet is large and keeps adding new ships. Century lists six Yangtze ships on its own site: Century Vision, Century Voyage, Century Oasis, Century Victory, Century Glory and Century Legend. Here is how the ships and routes fit together.
Century’s Yangtze Routes
| Route | Direction | Length on Century’s site |
|---|---|---|
| Yangtze Signature | Chongqing to Yichang (downstream) | 3 nights |
| Yangtze Signature | Yichang to Chongqing (upstream) | 4 nights |
| Yangtze Panorama | Chongqing to Shanghai (downstream) | 10 nights |
| Yangtze Panorama | Shanghai to Chongqing (upstream) | 11 nights |
| Land and river tours | Beijing, Xi’an, the Yangtze and Shanghai, and longer versions to Hong Kong, Japan or Vietnam | Varies by tour |
The short Signature sailings cover the gorges and the dam; the Panorama sailings add the lower river to Shanghai. Read more on cruising from Shanghai.

Century Yangtze Questions
Which Century ship sails from Shanghai?
Century’s own 11-night Shanghai-to-Chongqing page lists Century Legend or Century Victory. Ship assignments can change, so confirm the ship for your exact date.
Does Century have family cabins?
Century Vision lists a Family Suite among its cabin types, along with a Junior Cruisers’ Center. Ask how many family suites there are on your sailing; they are limited.
Is a Century Yangtze river cruise sold as a tour too?
Yes. Century sells land-and-river packages such as Legend of China and Splendid China as well as cruise-only sailings.
Century Beyond the Yangtze
Century’s own site also lists ships on the Danube, the Rhine and the Nile, so travelers who enjoyed a Century Yangtze river cruise sometimes ask about those rivers next. The Yangtze is still where most of the fleet sails. If you are comparing Century with another fleet for the same dates, send us both names; our cruise advisors at Mister Cruise will line up cabins and inclusions side by side.
