Three Gorges View

For those looking for a more private getaway, a cruise along the Three Gorges is the way to go. With the completion of the second phase of the Three Gorges Dam, sailing the Yangtze River has become better than ever. Deeper waters allow for further exploration of the Yangtze's tributaries, and puts travelers closer to the sacred mountaintops.

Book your trip with Victoria Cruises, which boasts the most luxurious fleets to sail the Yangtze. Let yourself be carried away by the chandeliers, sweeping staircases and rich carpets, creating a romantic ambience perfect for Valentine's Day. The cruise ship usually sets sail the next morning, so take your time on the first evening to enjoy the onboard amenities. Whisper sweet nothings into your squeeze's ear over a candlelight dinner, take time for a couple pampering session in the spa or watch a romantic movie on the balcony. Get up early the next morning, head to the gigantic observation deck and snuggle up with your honey to watch the sunrise over the Three Gorges.
