Since its first luxury cruise down the Yangtze River in China in 1994, Victoria Cruises set the bar high and established a new level of excellence. Based in New York City, Victoria Cruises has been busy renovating all its cruise ships. Work on their Victoria Jenna ship was just completed last month and it joined the rest of the five-star fleet.

The Victoria Jenna returned to cruise the Yangtze River between the cities of Chongqing and Yichang. This popular Chinese river cruise is titled Three Gorges Highlights program. The ship sets sail each week on Monday and Thursday. The luxury cruise ship first sailed in 2009 and its renovation included touches of modern elegance and additional luxurious amenities.

Following strict Western standards, all Victoria Cruises ships are designed with the ultimate safety and comfort. Their goal is that each ship’s performance surpasses the high standards expected by both American and European travelers.

In 2010. the Victoria Jenna earned the Silver Award Winner for the Magellan Awards’ River Cruise Ship category by Travel Weekly.

Larry Greenman is the manager of PR and customer service for Victoria Cruises and was quoted, “Since the launch of the Victoria Jenna in 2009, the vessel has been surpassed by our own innovations as we’ve modernized the rest of our fleet one ship at a time. This is a particularly meaningful milestone for us as we’ve restored the six-year-old vessel’s position as the flagship at the forefront of our elegant, five-star fleet. It also signifies the completion of the extensive fleet-wide redesign we began in 2010.”
