Three
elegant sister ships, all built in Germany and all 5 star awarded,
- that is why China Regal Cruises claimed to be offering the ultimate
cruise experience on the Yangtze River. Princess Jeanie, along with
Princess Elaine and Princess Sheena, was designed to western standard
of safety and refinement. Built in 1993 and entered service in 1994,
Princess Jeannie is 424 feet long and 52 feet wide. Equipped with
three independent engines (3x1000 BHP), it sails at 22 knots upstream
and at 30 knots downstream on the Yangtze River. It has 5 decks and
a capacity of 258 passengers.
With most advanced navigation equipment on the ship, it features fully
stabilization, quiet operation, and highest safety. All the public
in-door halls or decks were well furnished and elegantly decorated.
There are two dining rooms aboard, the Emperor’s Dining offers
both provincial gourmet dishes from various regions of China and Western
cuisine in an elegant dining setting, while the Golden Pavilion Dining
offers buffet style Western cuisine and Chinese fare. Other facilities
include a 100 people capacity ballroom, where live music and traditional
Chinese performance such as opera, dance and acrobatics are occasionally
offered, a Lotus Bar and a Misty Lounge, beauty salon, tanning salon,
in-room massage, sauna, spa and fitness center, gift shop and postal.
There is also a business center completed with satellite communication,
telephone and fax and copy service.
The outstanding service of Regal China Cruises has been one of the
important reasons that they have had year-round high occupancies in
recent years. A 10-piece brass band heralds the travelers’ arrival
and a hot tea service greets each guest in-room. Housekeeping department
checks rooms twice daily to ensure supplies are replenished. Nightly
turndown service includes a delicious chocolate on every pillow, along
with a cozy pair of Chinese slippers and luxurious robe of lounging
in each suite. With more than 150 staff aboard each vessel and a combination
of western style management and superb Asian hospitality, they claim
that all the guests will receive the kind of service unsurpassed even
in some of China’s best hotels.
While traveling in comfort and style, witnessing the breathtaking
sights of legendary Yangtze waterway, guests are also given many chances
to immerse themselves in Chinese culture, art and lifestyles. They
can go to lessons in Chinese language, shadow boxing, Tai-chi, Mah-Johng,
card games or calligraphy at their own interests.
China Regal Cruises ships sail between Jingzhou (Shashi) and Chongqing in 2009.
