The Yangtze Golden Six cruise ship, which began operation in 2012, is a new generation cruise ship and is currently the only cruise ship on the Yangtze built and operated to international standards. The cruise offers attentive service, exquisite cuisine, and professional facilities, providing you with a true Three Gorges cruise experience on the Yangtze. To ensure comfort on the ship, vibration reduction and noise reduction measures, as well as a fresh air environmental system, were applied using internationally advanced inland cruise ship configurations during construction. Currently, the cruises operating on the Yangtze generally have noise levels above 65 decibels. By introducing German technology to manufacture the main engine and supplementing it with other high-tech vibration and noise reduction technologies, the Golden Six cruise can now achieve noise levels around 45 decibels in public areas. In standard rooms, the noise level is only about 40 decibels, which is even quieter than ordinary air conditioning, ensuring that your journey enjoys considerate and personalized service. All standard cabins and suites are equipped with private balconies, allowing passengers to admire the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze without leaving their rooms.
