Looking for the perfect family holiday? Well how about China? And what better way to introduce your children to this amazing land than a cruise along the mighty Yangtze River.

With Sanctuary Retreats’ offer, kids up to 12 years old sharing a cabin with two adults can travel free on all Sanctuary Yangzi Explorer Shoulder Season Sailings in 2020.

This is a chance to travel into the very heart of China along the great Yangtze River and explore the best stretches of this immense waterway, including the Three Gorges – one of the most celebrated sections of the river, onboard the Sanctuary Yangzi Explorer, in the comfort of what are widely regarded as the largest and best appointed suites and cabins on the river. Carrying just 124 passengers, compared to the 300+ accommodated on other cruise ships, the vessel also offers the finest and most personalized service on the river, as well as the highest crew to passenger ratio on the river of 1:1.

On-board facilities guaranteed to appeal to the whole family include à la carte dining, an observation deck, 24-hour room service, a two-floor theatre, la well-appointed library and fitness facilities. Even better, there are lots of kids’ entertainment activities on offer too including:

  • Mandarin for beginners;
  • Chinese calligraphy writing;
  • Kite making and flying; and
  • Chinese dumpling making; plus
  • Other amenities including baby cots, high-chairs, children’s movies, books and board games.
