China Wellness Cruise Proves Popular


China Wellness Cruise

July 2011

Sanctuary Retreats launched two special wellness cruises in June 2011 on the Sanctuary M.S. Yangzi Explorer. Both cruises have been extremely well received by guests and there are opportunities to join our upcoming wellness packages. The upstream and downstream cruises on the mighty Yangtze river allow guests to experience traditional Chinese therapies whilst exploring the incredible Three Gorges region. Each morning there is a Taichi lesson from the onboard Taichi master, this is followed by healthy cooking demonstrations from the Executive Chef and you can learn the secrets behind many different Chinese medicines, including the ancient practice of acupuncture.  

The wellness cruise is perfect for those looking to relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery in the intimate and luxurious Sanctuary M.S. Yangzi Explorer. The ship carries just 124 passengers, compared to over 300 on other cruise ships of the same size. Other onboard facilities include a luxury spa, a two-floor theatre, library, large outdoor observation deck, beauty and fitness centres and a la carte dining.
