10 days of luxury river cruising through the Three Gorges, blended with authentic Traditional Chinese Medicine wellness experiences. No queues, no airports, just pure restoration.
Every element of your 10-day cruise has been carefully arranged to balance authentic Chinese wellness traditions with five-star comfort on the river.
Daily 1-on-1 sessions with qualified TCM practitioners: pulse reading, tongue diagnosis, tailored herbal tea prescriptions. Your personal wellness plan, curated on the river.
Led by a certified Tai Chi master on the observation deck as mist rises from the gorges. Gentle, meditative, and unforgettable.
Licensed therapists deliver traditional acupuncture and Tuina massage in the ship's dedicated treatment rooms. Real TCM, not a spa pastiche.
Guided day trips to Fengdu Ghost City, Shennong Stream, and the Three Gorges Dam. Everything arranged, nothing to organise.
Nutritionist-designed menus balancing TCM food therapy with Western comfort options. Medicinal soups, longevity grains, fresh river fish.
Intimate evening shows: Sichuan opera face-changing, folk music, and Bayu dance. Authentic river culture, not a tourist performance.
A carefully paced journey that gives you time to settle in, explore, and genuinely unwind. Not a whistle-stop tour.
Private airport transfer to the vessel. Settle into your cabin, meet your TCM practitioner, and enjoy a welcome Sichuan banquet on board.
Morning constitution assessment with your TCM physician to personalise your wellness programme. Afternoon: guided tour of the ancient Ghost City.
Pass through the spectacular Wu Gorge at dawn. Optional kayaking excursion up the serene Shennong tributary — one of China's hidden wonders.
Cruise through the intimate Lesser Three Gorges by small boat. Afternoon acupuncture session and herbal compress treatment on board.
Visit the world's largest hydroelectric dam — an extraordinary feat of engineering. Evening farewell dinner in Yichang with Bayu cultural performance.
Optional Tai Chi, final TCM consultations, and time to rest before your homeward flight. Transfer to airport coordinated by your bilingual concierge.
Four thousand years of practice, delivered by certified practitioners in the tranquil surrounds of a five-star river cruise.
Fine needles placed along meridian points to restore the flow of Qi, addressing fatigue, pain, sleep, and stress. Sessions tailored to your constitution (体质).
Therapeutic deep-tissue massage using rhythmic compression along energy channels. Relieves muscle tension, improves circulation, and promotes deep relaxation.
Slow, flowing movements that integrate breath and mindfulness. Suitable for all fitness levels, practised each morning on deck as the mist lifts from the gorges.
Bespoke herbal tea blends and medicinal soups prescribed daily by your TCM physician. Drawn from a pharmacopoeia of over 3,000 catalogued remedies.
