How to Choose a Yangtze River Cruise
Insider TipsYangtze
Peak and Off Season
High and low seasons are determined by cruise companies based on their itineraries and water levels. Generally, the months of April, May, September and October are considered peak season for cruises.
Cruise Duration
The duration of the cruise varies depending on the route. The shortest tour is 4 days from Chongqing to Yichang, while the trip from Yichang to Chongqing takes 5 days. Longer itineraries can last 9 days or more, from Shanghai to Chongqing. When choosing a cruise, you should not only consider the duration, but also the departure times, as not all cruises are available daily.
Cruise from Chongqing to Wuhan
This tour usually lasts 5 days, although in reality 4 days of navigation are covered, since it embarks the day before the scheduled departure. For example, on China's Regal cruise from Chongqing to Wuhan, departure is scheduled for 8:00 a.m. A city tour of Chongqing is arranged the day before, and the guide arranges boarding on the cruise in the evening.
Shennong Stream and Little Three Gorges Tours
Both excursions are side trips that allow you to explore the pristine tributaries of the Yangtze River, offering natural landscapes and exciting sailing along crystal-clear waters. Depending on the water conditions and the schedules of the different ships, cruise companies organize visits to the Little Three Gorges or the Shennong Current.
