NEW YORK, PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Victoria Cruises, the pre-eminent cruise
company sailing China's Yangtze River, is assisting humanitarian relief
efforts following the earthquake in Wenchaun, China by donating excess
inventory and supplies, including much-needed clothing, towels and drinking
water.
"After our passengers and crew, which were all at a safe distance from the
quake's center, our primary concern is for the surrounding countryside and
the well-being of those who were adversely affected by the tragic disaster,"
said Jerry Pi, Operating Partner for Victoria Cruises.
"We encourage others to get involved by donating to the American Red Cross
International Response Fund
(http://american.redcross.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ntld_main) and help
the victims during their time of need," added Pi.
"Victoria Cruises is operating normally and on schedule," said Larry
Greenman, manager of public relations and customer service for the cruise
line. "While the earthquake was felt on land, and there was some sway felt
along the river, our passengers are safe and the river is now calm. There
has been no damage to our fleet."
