Before you choose
How much does the Chongqing and Yangtze cruise tour cost?
There is no fixed published price. We quote for your sailing date after checking live availability. Send your dates, rooming, arrival details and luggage count; the actual route, ship, cabin, hotels, guide language and final total are confirmed in writing before you pay.
Where do we sleep, and which ship and cabin will we have?
Two nights in a breakfast-included Chongqing hotel, then three nights in a twin balcony cabin on the cruise. The ship, deck, cabin size and single supplement vary by sailing date; we confirm the ship, pier, cabin and included shore excursions before you pay.
Which way does the cruise sail, and where does the trip end?
Downstream. You transfer to the confirmed pier and board on the evening of Day 3, pass Qutang Gorge and Wu Gorge, and leave the ship on Day 6 for the included Three Gorges Dam visit. The trip ends in Yichang, not back in Chongqing; your onward train or flight time is checked against the ship's schedule.
Is there a guide on the cruise, and how do meals work?
Your private English-speaking guide and private transfers cover the land days in Chongqing, Days 1–3. On board, the ship's confirmed programme sets the commentary language, meals and shore excursions. Cruise service fees, optional shore excursions and cabin upgrades are extra unless listed.
What do we see in Chongqing before boarding?
Day 2 is a guided city day around places such as Liziba, the Shancheng lanes, Jiefangbei and the riverside, in an order your guide adjusts to traffic. On Day 3 you take either the Dazu Rock Carvings excursion or a shorter Chongqing day, whichever is confirmed in writing, then board in the evening.
