General Tours Partners with Victoria Cruises

Feb 13, 2007

Celebrating its 60th anniversary, General Tours World Traveler has reached an exclusive agreement with Victoria Cruises, the largest fleet of vessels on the Yangtze River with a five-star rating from the China National Tourism Administration. As a result of this contract, Victoria Cruises is now the sole provider of Yangtze River cruises for the tour operator.

“The satisfaction of our customers has always been our top priority,” said Bob Drumm, president of General Tours. “We recognize Victoria as a leader when it comes to luxury cruising on the Yangtze and are proud to exclusively offer this superior river cruise experience.”

“Our relationship with General Tours is a natural fit as both companies adhere to the highest standards of deluxe vacationing,” said Larry Greenman, manager of customer service and public relations for Victoria Cruises. “General Tours has a strong reputation for providing top-notch escorted travel experiences to all corners of the globe, and we at Victoria Cruises are committed to making the Yangtze River cruise segment a memorable highlight of their terrific China tour offerings.”

General Tours offers numerous tour packages to China and the Orient, many of which encompass a Yangtze River sailing onboard one of Victoria’s contemporary vessels. A popular example is the value-priced Yangtze Sampler, which offers a deluxe 12-day vacation inclusive of a four-night cruise on the 266-passenger Victoria Katarina; seven nights’ hotel accommodations in first-class properties throughout Beijing, Xian and Shanghai; and airfare within China.

Pricing for the Yangtze Sampler begins at $1,999 per person, double occupancy, and does not include international airfare. Air transportation to China is available from all major gateways starting at $750 per person.
