Century Cruises Unveils New Flagship Launching September 2026

Century Cruises has unveiled Century Vision, its new flagship launching in September 2026 on the Yangtze River.

Accommodating up to 650 guests across 236 staterooms (most of which feature a balcony), the ship stretches 492 feet in length and features seven passenger decks, boasting one of the highest public-space-to-guest ratios on the Yangtze. Stateroom options include family accommodations with a dedicated children’s sleeping area.

Onboard, guests can choose from one of three restaurants, all with panoramic views of the river.

New for the brand, Century Vision will introduce a Digital Museum Zone. Designed as an interactive digital library, this space allows guests to explore China’s history, culture, and heritage at their own pace.

Other onboard amenities include a library, dedicated Photography Studio, fitness center and spa, and state-of-the-art theater.

“Century Vision represents far more than the launch of a remarkable new ship – it reflects Century Cruises’ long-term commitment to redefining luxury river cruising through innovation, exceptional hospitality, and authentic cultural experiences,” said David Fredericks, president and general manager, the Americas, Century Cruises.

“Today’s travelers are seeking journeys that inspire, educate, and create lasting memories, and Century Vision delivers that experience unlike any other on the Yangtze River… As we prepare for our expansion into Europe in 2026 and Egypt in 2027, Century Vision represents not only the future of cruising on the Yangtze, but the future of our company…”

Century Vision will operate the cruise line’s signature four-day itinerary between Chongqing and Yichang.
