What You’ll Find Onboard RV Century Legend


RV Century Legend offers a welcoming selection of facilities designed to complement your journey along the Yangtze River. Between exploring fascinating sights ashore, you can enjoy traditional Chinese cuisine, take in the passing scenery from the observation areas or unwind in one of the ship’s comfortable lounges. From cultural activities and evening entertainment to opportunities for relaxation and fitness, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your time onboard.

Activities & Entertainment

Life aboard RV Century Legend offers a balance of entertainment, cultural experiences and quieter moments. Whether you enjoy spending time with fellow guests, discovering traditional Chinese pastimes or simply watching the changing scenery along the Yangtze River, you’ll find several inviting spaces to explore throughout your cruise.

Library - Sun Deck - Settle into a good book in the ship’s library, a peaceful retreat for guests looking for a little quiet time. It’s ideal for unwinding, catching up on reading, or enjoying a slower-paced afternoon.

Karaoke Rooms - Observation Deck - A fun-filled evening awaits in RV Century Legend’s dedicated karaoke rooms. Take centre stage and sing your favourite songs or sit back and cheer on your fellow guests.

Mahjong Rooms - Main Deck - Discover one of China’s most popular traditional games in the ship’s dedicated Mahjong rooms. Played with intricately decorated tiles, Mahjong is a game of strategy and skill that has been enjoyed for generations. These rooms provide a wonderful opportunity to experience a familiar part of Chinese culture during your voyage.

Shops - Bridge Deck & Promenade Deck - Browse the onboard shops for gifts, souvenirs and keepsakes to remember your journey along the Yangtze River.

Restaurants

Dining aboard RV Century Legend is an opportunity to discover the flavours of China while enjoying a selection of familiar Western favourites. With regional dishes reflecting the destinations visited along the Yangtze River, mealtimes offer another way to experience the country’s rich culinary traditions.

Complimentary restaurants

Main Restaurant - Upper Deck - Start your morning with a varied breakfast buffet that caters to both Western and Chinese tastes. Alongside familiar favourites such as eggs, bacon, pastries and fresh fruit, you’ll find traditional dishes including steamed buns, dumplings and congee, a comforting rice porridge often enjoyed at breakfast throughout China. As the day progresses, the restaurant introduces an assortment of Chinese dishes, with lunch and dinner buffets featuring regional specialities that offer a taste of the places you’re visiting. Western options are also available, giving guests the flexibility to enjoy something familiar or venture beyond their usual choices.

Speciality restaurants

VIP Restaurant - Sun Deck - For guests who appreciate a more intimate atmosphere at mealtimes, the VIP Restaurant provides an alternative to the main dining room. With buffet selections and the opportunity to choose from additional à la carte dishes in the evening, it offers a different way to experience the ship’s cuisine. The smaller setting is particularly appealing for those who prefer a more personal dining experience.

Bars & Lounges

From leisurely afternoons to lively evenings, RV Century Legend’s bars and lounges offer inviting spaces to enjoy life on the river. Spend time catching up with fellow travellers over a drink, reflect on the day’s discoveries, or embrace the evening atmosphere with music and dancing. There’s a setting to suit any occasion.

Entertainment Hall - Observation Deck - The Entertainment Hall is a lively gathering place where guests can come together to enjoy the ship’s evening entertainment. Complete with a dance floor, it’s a great spot to enjoy music, show off your best dance moves, or simply relax and soak up the atmosphere.

Cheers Bar & Lounge - Observation Deck - Perfect for enjoying a warming cup of tea in the afternoon or celebrating another memorable day with a cocktail. Its position on the Observation Deck makes it a pleasant spot for a drink between activities, while the transition from daytime refreshments to evening cocktails creates a different atmosphere as the day draws to a close.

Relaxation & Fitness

There are plenty of opportunities to unwind and recharge. Whether you’d prefer to admire the passing landscapes from the comfort of a sun lounger, indulge in a soothing spa treatment, or keep up with your fitness routine, you’ll find dedicated spaces for each.

The Sun Deck - Sun Deck - Take advantage of the open-air surroundings and enjoy uninterrupted views of the Yangtze River’s ever-changing scenery. With sun loungers available, it’s a wonderful place to settle in with a good book, enjoy fresh air, or simply watch the world go by as the ship sails past picturesque landscapes and riverside communities.

Spa - Lower Deck - Treat yourself to some well-deserved pampering at the onboard spa. Offering a selection of treatments designed to promote relaxation and rejuvenation, it’s an inviting retreat after a busy day exploring China’s fascinating attractions. Gym - Sun Deck - Whether you’re looking to start the day with an energising workout or fit in some exercise between excursions, the gym is a convenient space to stay active throughout your journey.
