The Yangtze River is situated in the subtropics. This area features strong winds, and high humidity. The average temperature is 30C (90F) in July and 10C (50F) in January. In summer, dramatic thunderstorms and heavy rains often raise the water levels between July and September. Winter is short and cold. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for taking a cruise. Especially in April, the scenery along the Yangtze River is rather enchanting and enjoyable, with fewer tourists and more competitive price.
Your private tour guide will not accompany you on the cruise. All onboard activities and shore excursions will be managed by the cruise company. Professional English-speaking guides are available onboard, even guides speaking Germany or French available on some ships.
There are some onboard services that your tour package does not cover, such as alcoholic beverages, laundry, hairdressing, and massage.
All ships will have designated smoking and non-smoking areas. Smoking is usually permitted only on the observation deck. You can ask your tour guide onboard ship for more information.
Of course you can. We feel that a visit to China is a wonderful chance for children to explore the world. Some cruise ships provide baby strollers, child chairs, and child care, and some even have a child's playroom. On some cruise ships, you can share a cabin with your children. With the addition of a child's bed extra charges will apply on some cruises. You should ask your travel consultant for the details when you book cruise with us.
Yes, you can. But you are only allowed to enjoy the soft or hard drinks you brought inside your cabin.
Can pets be brought onboard ship?
Unfortunately pets are not allowed onboard. You will need to arrange for someone to take care of your pets before your cruise.
If you wish to tip any staff member who has provided a special service for you may do so at your own discretion. C.O.T. suggests $40 to US $60 /per guest as tips for Yangtze Cruise Section.
