M. V. President I is now one of the ships most known to American and Canadian tour operators and travel agents who are offering tours to China and cruises to the Yangtze. It is the fourth ship and the proud of Yangtze Cruise Lines.
Managed by the team trained by Sheraton Great Wall and Hotel Beijing-Toronto in Beijing, it is one of the finest ships on the river and most clientele are from the United States.
The ship was built in 1995 and put into operation on Aug. 7. The total capacity is 150 passengers. It is 90 meters long and 16.8 meters wide, with 5 decks. The first is crews' deck. Standard cabins are on the second floor. Veranda cabins (cabins with balcony) are on the third, fourth and fifth floor.
There is a presidential suite, 2 deluxe suites, 30 standard cabins and 40 veranda cabins. The ship is equipped with centrally controlled air-conditioning system, acoustics system, and many other advanced systems imported from Europe and United States.

You may not believe it, but there are also casino machines on the ship, which are not permitted in other parts of the country.
Among them, the multifunctional International Conference Hall holds over 100 participants, with simultaneous interpretation system.
This ship sails from late April to early December, between Wuhan and Chongqing, 6 days 5 nights upstream and 4 days 3 nights downstream. As usual, from Chongqing to Wuhan, "downstream", as this industry called, is less time but more expensive than "upstream" - from Wuhan to Chongqing. No other reasons, just because more people take downstream sailings.
This deluxe cruiser has got a lot of positive comments in the past years.
