Executive Club and Presidential Suite guests can also access an exclusive ¨¢ la carte restaurant, bar and reception area.
¡°We are proud of this beautiful ship, Century Legend. Together with Century Paragon, which we launched just seven weeks ago, and all of our other beautiful ships, we continue our commitment to the market and all of our selling partners around the world,¡± said Peng Jianhu, president of Century Cruises. ¡°We continue to strive to provide the very finest Yangtze River cruise experience available.¡±
