China International Travel Service (CITS) announced on Monday in Beijing that it has recently become the general sales agent for Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the world's top-rated cruise line.

Statistics show that a growing number of Chinese tourists have traveled overseas on cruises in recent years, which created a new growth point in the Chinese tourism industry and attracted many international cruise companies to China as well, according to CITS.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises operates three all-suite all-balcony cruise ships sailing to all five continents.

Each cruise ship has four gourmet restaurants with classic and delicate cuisines from French to Continental.
