Entertainment

In the Yangtze Club, the ship’s main lounge, guests are privy to captivating scenery through floor-to-ceiling glass windows and informative commentary by way of the ship’s ‘river lecturer’. The lounge also provides the opportunity to relax, share a drink, and recount stories from the day with friends and family.

Often there will be local live performances of music or theater in the lounge, and during the day, the Victoria Katarina makes enrichment presentations available from Chinese calligraphy lessons to kite building and flying education.
