Day 1: Boarding in Chongqing
Time: 17:00: Meal time: about 1 hour On the day of boarding (most cruise ships) dinner is not included in the arrangement of the ticket, it is recommended to board the ship after dinner.
1. Conventional Chongqing boarding is Chaotianmen Wharf. However, Chaotianmen Wharf is subdivided into more than a dozen small wharves. The docking of cruise ships is similar to that of trains. Accurately, in order to prevent the cruise ship from temporarily changing the berthing port and causing the wrong port to appear, generally we will find the cruise ship front desk to verify the boarding port again at noon on the boarding day and inform you of the specific port at Chaotianmen before 12:00 noon. It is recommended that you call the cruise ship to check the boarding pier again before boarding.
2Because the cruise ship is affected by the water level/climate/channel conditions of the Yangtze River, when the water level is too high or too low, heavy fog and no navigation control and other force majeure situations, the waiting ship wharf may change to Fengdu or Fuling wharf. The party will arrange for tourists to gather in designated areas in Chongqing, take a bus to the downstream and board the ship at Fengdu or Fuling Wharf. The journey usually takes about 3 hours and the actual driving time shall prevail! There is no scenic spot tour arrangement for the less-taken boat trip, which will not affect the scenic spot tour in the itinerary. The cruise company arranges vehicles for the cruise ship to unify and pool vehicles. It is not a chartered car alone, and carpooling will occur. The cruise company will no longer charge extra fares, and will no longer compensate for the section where the boat is missing. Purchasing this product is deemed to agree to the terms by default. (Whether boarding from Fuling or Fengdu is subject to the cruise ship notice).
Time: 18:00: After arriving in Chongqing, take a car to Chaotianmen Wharf or the meeting point.Boarding time issue: The regular boarding time at Chongqing Chaotianmen Wharf is 17:00--20:00. Tourists are requested to bring their original ID cards. For children without ID cards, please bring the account page of the household registration book and board the ship at the designated wharf. Check in at the front desk of the cruise ship.

🎈Learn about the attractions at your own expense during the journey🎈
🎈The cruise company will have 3-4 optional attractions for tourists to choose during the voyage, and registration is not mandatory. If you need to register, please go to the front desk of the cruise ship. The self-selected attractions of the cruise ship are of a profit-making nature, and the registration fee will be higher than the listed price of the local scenic spot tickets, including scenic spot tickets, transportation vehicles, tour guide explanations, cruise ship port fees, etc. For the sake of safety, the cruise company does not allow tourists who have not signed up to leave the ship to do activities in the port without authorization. (This activity is the behavior of the ship, not organized by travel agencies, please choose according to your own situation)🎈
🎈 Optional Paid Cruise Floor Upgrade 🎈
🎈The standard bed price of the cruise company defaults to a viewing room with a balcony on the second floor above the water. Cruise ship guest rooms are generally on the 2nd to 4th floors above the water surface. The room facilities and external views are exactly the same. If you wish to designate a higher floor, you can pay for it at the front desk of the cruise ship. When you board the ship, the cruise company usually also sells floors, so please choose carefully according to your needs. (Actually, from our point of view, the view of the Yangtze River from the 2nd to 4th floors is similar, because most of the time you spend outdoors)🎈
🎈 Optional paid upgrade cruise ship VIP restaurant: 🎈
🎈Some cruise ships will recommend tourists to upgrade to high-standard VIP restaurants with fewer people dining. The cost is about 200-500 yuan/person for the whole journey (different cruise ships have certain differences in pricing, and the on-site consultation of the cruise ship shall prevail). Please order according to your needs. (Even if you don't upgrade, you can still enjoy a very rich Sichuan and Hubei cuisine when you dine in the main restaurant. It is recommended to check the restaurant conditions after boarding the ship and make a decision)🎈
🎈Cruise service tip: 🎈
🎈For domestic passengers, cruise companies are usually voluntary. If you are satisfied with the service recognition of the staff on board, you can voluntarily put a tip envelope in the tip box set up at the front desk of the cruise ship when you disembark. The tip amount is not limited and is not mandatory. (It is up to you to give or not to give, there is no requirement). 🎈
🎈Events and Tours🎈
🎈Cruise ships sailing on the Yangtze River may be affected by factors such as climate, hydrology, waterway control, and ports. The itinerary, tour time, cultural lectures, entertainment activities, and self-funded items disclosed in the product may be changed and adjusted. Please contact us The information announced by the cruise company on the same day shall prevail. (Yangtze River Cruises adopts a comprehensive one-ticket system. Tickets for meals or shore sightseeing are not refundable; cruises are only divided into children and adults according to age, and tourists with senior citizens' certificates, military officer certificates, student certificates, and disability certificates are no longer eligible Included attraction ticket discount)🎈
🎈Our customized itinerary is already very reasonable and has included the main project costs. In order to make a profit, cruise companies will do some of the above-mentioned promotions (such as self-funded attractions, upgraded restaurants, and upgraded cabins), which are often offensive to tourists who have made a good travel budget.
