Spacious Public Areas
In designing the Century Glory cruise ship, the team reduced the number of cabins to offer more public areas and recreational spaces. As we believe that the comfort and entertainment of the journey are just as important as the destination.
Double-deck Main Dining Room
For the first time on the Yangtze River cruise ships, Century Glory cruise ship uses the small dining tables (for 2-4 people) in the main dining room – the Globe Restaurant. The Century Glory has innovated the traditional 8-10 people round table dining experience on other Yangtze River cruise ships into a more comfortable and relaxed dining mode. The moment that the guests enter the dining room, they could see the Yangtze River scenery, because the glass walls on both sides of the restaurant are entirely transparent.
Pavilion VIP Restaurant of Pan-Asian Cuisines
The Pavilion VIP Restaurant on Deck 4 offers the Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Western styles, characteristic Chongqing hotpot, and other pan-Asian food. No matter where you are from, star chefs can offer tailor-made menus and diverse and delicate food.
Extreme Spacious Top Deck
Century Glory uses the 2000 square meters on the top of the ship on Deck 7, creating the most spacious Top Deck among the Yangtze River cruise ships.
The Panorama Cafe
The Panorama Cafe is located in the bow of Deck 3, and it may be the best scenic cafe with the Yangtze River cruise scenery. Suite passengers can enjoy private gathering time here.
Century Cruises & Yangtze River Cruise
Century Glory cruise ship, the new flagship of the Century Cruises, was constructed under the investment of 300 million RMB by Chongqing Grande Investment Holding (Group) LLC under the name of Grand Century Cruises.
Century Cruises, founded in 2002, has become a leader in the Yangtze River cruise ship industry and now is operating seven cruise ships and offering passengers with the most enchanting cruising experiences on the Yangtze River.
A Yangtze River cruise ship will take you to a land of many adventures, with impressive natural spectacles and unique histories. On the third-longest river in the world, you will experience diverse landscapes and unique and breathtaking historical sights of China.
The best-known section of the Yangtze River is the “Three Gorges” of Qutang, Wu ad Xiling. Cruises on the Yangtze are the perfect way to get to know this fascinating area and unique historical sites on the banks of the Yangtze. Your cruise ship navigates through one of the most spectacular regions of China.
