When do I start booking tickets for the Three Gorges Dam

@xt20212021：Whether you are a group tour or a solo trip, I think it is best to book in advance. As long as your own date can be confirmed, booking in advance is the best, because the most important thing for a Three Gorges trip is to choose a cruise ship. Choose your favorite cruise ship when your travel time is determined. If we talk about the travel time and then choose to book tickets, it may be about choosing what kind of boat to use.

@沉香未言墨竹屹：This still depends on the peak season and off-season. If it's not the peak tourist season or a holiday, buying a boat ticket locally may also be possible to book it.

@明道2021：It also depends on how many people you are and your schedule. If you are alone and not in a hurry, you can buy locally. Maybe we can even find a cheaper one. Some ships, if they are not fully booked, may be priced lower in the end. Last time when we were on the boat, we encountered someone who bought it only a few hours after leaving the boat, and the price was similar to buying a regular passenger ship.

@饕餮P17：I think we can just buy it on the same day, or even a few days in advance. As long as it's not a holiday. It's similar to buying train tickets.

@兲倥咹静：The OP can go to the official website for booking tickets for Meiya Three Gorges Cruise. Generally, the peak season is booked 15 to 30 days in advance, and if booking for the off-season, it is booked seven days in advance.

@十堰人在上海：I think it's still necessary to book in advance and make payment to ensure the availability of the shipping space. Because for a long time, luxury cruise ships in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River have mainly targeted passengers from Europe, America, and Southeast Asia. They are mainly group bookings. Half of foreigners' travel plans are booked early, and they will basically book three to six months in advance. And a small portion will book one year in advance. Book your luxury cruise ship as early as possible, provided you have tickets available. I suggest booking at least 15 days in advance, the earlier the better.

@13956226580：I think booking tickets should be divided into luxury cruise or regular cruise, if it's a regular cruise. There are quite a few available seats, so you can book them when the time comes or around seven days later. One thing I want to clarify here is that the first-class cabins of ordinary Three Gorges cruise ships, which are two person cabins, are relatively rare and should be booked at least 15 days in advance. For luxury cruise ships, especially during the peak season from April to October, it is best to book one month in advance and it is not recommended to book tickets temporarily.
