    A: Yes, several luxury Yangtze River cruise lines enforce strict non-smoking policies in all indoor and most public areas.

    Additional Context: Leading luxury ships like the Victoria Sabrina, Century Paragon, and Sanctuary Yangtze Elite are essentially non-smoking indoors. Smoking is typically restricted to designated open-deck areas only. This is a standard policy across the premium and luxury segments, catering to the health-conscious preferences of international travelers.

    Insider Tip: Always confirm the specific smoking policy when booking, as a few ships may still allow smoking on private balconies, though this is becoming increasingly rare.
