Undoubtedly, taking a Three Gorges cruise to enjoy the scenery of the Three Gorges is the most comfortable way of sightseeing. Here is a compilation for everyoneGuidelines for Three Gorges Cruise Ship BoardingFilled with 20 valuable tips, I hope they can help you!
1. Firstly, you need to book a ticket. Currently, real name registration is implemented for Yangtze River Three Gorges cruise ships on the official website（https://www.sanxia-china.com/）Select the date, cruise ship, room type, etc. above and place an order directly, following the same process as booking a train ticket. It is recommended to book the tickets one month in advance, as foreign guests like to make travel plans in advance (at least 6 months in advance), and the number of room types is limited, so bookings will be made once they are made. Remember not to purchase tickets near the dock on short notice to avoid being deceived.
2. Due to epidemic prevention requirements, cruise ships do not accept tourists from medium to high-risk areas and those with travel codes marked with asterisks. Please make sure to check your health code and travel code before traveling to avoid being unable to board or visit. Boarding requires bringing a mask.
3. Please pay attention to the weather forecast for the Three Gorges scenic spot 1-3 days before your trip, so that you can bring rain gear, add or remove clothing, etc.
4. Remember the gathering time and location of your boarding dock or transfer. Cruise ships boarding at Chongqing Chaotianmen Port are usually informed of the specific number of ports at Chaotianmen on the day of boarding. Cruise ships boarding at other ports are usually informed of the specific meeting time and location one day in advance. Please do not be late.
5. Several ships may dock side by side at the same dock, and if your boarding dock is correct, you will need to pass through the halls of other ships to reach your cruise ship.
6. Please bring your original ID card, passport, and other documents before traveling. You can pick up your room at the front desk of the cruise hall with the documents provided during registration. No other documents are required.
7. If you have the need to upgrade floors, room types, VIP restaurants, etc., to ensure a successful upgrade, it is recommended to choose upgrade when registering. If you choose to upgrade on board, most cruise ships can negotiate, but the location is not guaranteed.
8. The consumption on the cruise ship seldom uses cash, and WeChat, Alipay, credit card and other methods are very smooth. Of course, using cash when paying tips can be more satisfying (tips for guests are voluntary and not mandatory).
9. If you have special items that need to be brought on board, please consult your customer service manager. Attention: Dangerous goods under control will be prohibited from boarding.
10. There are medical and police rooms on the cruise ship that can provide on-site assistance. Most cruise ships also come with special facilities such as wheelchairs and child seats. If you need them, it is recommended to make an appointment during registration on a first come, first served basis.
11. There are many staircases along the Three Gorges coastal docks and scenic spots. The docks have "sticks" that can help carry luggage, and the fee is generally 5-20 yuan per piece (negotiable depending on size and quantity). Some scenic spots have facilities such as cableways and sliding poles, and passengers can choose to ride according to their own physical strength. For tourists with limited mobility, it is recommended to engage in activities on board and reduce the number of shore trips. Taking a boat to enjoy the scenery along the way is also very beautiful.
12. After checking into the room, it is necessary to check the escape route and the facilities inside the room, especially the location of the life jacket. Some room types are interconnected, and doors and windows should be locked when leaving the room. Please carry valuables with you.
13. When dining on a cruise ship, the seats are fixed. For example, if dining at table 1 is arranged for the first time, then dining at table 1 will be arranged for all subsequent times.
14. The catering on the Three Gorges cruise ships is mostly Chinese and Western buffet style, with a small number of cruise ships having some Chinese table meals. Ordinary cruise ships generally do not include meals and can be ordered at one's own expense.
15. After the Three Gorges Dam is filled with water, the upstream water level in the dam area rises, and the navigation of boats is relatively stable, with very few cases of seasickness. Some of the tourist attractions on shore require taking a car, such as Baidicheng, Sanxia Dam, Sanxia Family, etc. Tourists who frequently experience motion sickness are advised to prepare motion sickness medication.
16. In addition to normal dining, accommodation, and shore tours, some ships also have facilities such as a gym, cinema, chess and card room, swimming pool, game hall, children's playground, KTV, etc., like a mobile luxury hotel.
17. There are many scenic spots distributed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, so if it is a flight from Chongqing to Yichang, it is recommended that you choose the room on the left, while for the flight from Yichang to Chongqing, you choose the room on the right.
18. There are some local specialty cooked foods sold in the scenic spots along the Three Gorges. If you want to taste them, it is recommended to pay attention to hygiene conditions. If you want to bring it on board, the shipowner usually requires registration.
19. During the cruise, the river wind is strong. When engaging in outdoor activities, it is important to secure hats, glasses, etc. to prevent them from falling into the river.
20. During the voyage, if you have any questions, you can contact the staff on board to coordinate and resolve them for you. Maintain a good mood, I believe you will have a wonderful vacation!
