How much is the price of a Three Gorges cruise ship

Economic Three Gorges Cruise Prices

Before the Three Gorges Dam was filled with water, ten thousand ton cruise ships were unable to enter and navigate through the canyon, so economy cruise ships dominated Three Gorges tourism in the past. Nowadays, economy cruise products attract numerous tourists with their shorter time and discounted prices.

Economy cruise ship prices:

The annual price range for economy cruise ships is between 600-900 yuan, with slightly higher prices during holidays, around 1000 yuan. This price is the regular itinerary price for a single boat ticket, including full cruise accommodation, partial shore visits to attractions, and meals (morning, afternoon, and evening).

Inquiry time:

Economy cruise ships usually offer prices one month in advance, so if you need to make a reservation, you usually start inquiring in the middle or late part of the previous month.

Cabin selection:

Economy cruise ships are divided into first, second, and third class cabins. The first-class cabin adopts a flat bed standard, with 2 people per room; The second-class cabin has bunk beds, with 4 people per room; The third class cabin has bunk beds and 6 people per room.

other expenses:

In addition to the regular itinerary, the cruise ship will also have optional attractions (Baidicheng, Shennong Creek, Wushan Xiaosanxia), upgraded cabins, entertainment and leisure, food and drinks, and other consumption items. The general consumption items are detailed in each room, but this part of the consumption is not included in the ticket and requires additional payment.

Price of foreign-related Three Gorges cruise ships

At present, there are more than 40 foreign-related cruise ships on the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, which is also the best transportation tool for the emerging inland cruise tourism. In terms of its functional layout, supporting services, facilities and equipment, it can be considered a five-star hotel on the river. If economic conditions permit, the editor suggests that the Three Gorges tourism should mainly focus on foreign-related cruise ships.

Price of foreign-related Three Gorges cruise ships:

There are currently two forms of participating in foreign-related cruise tourism:

One is customized tours, which means participating in tour groups. As an important channel for cruise companies, travel agencies generally do not only sell foreign-related cruise ship tickets, but also package the transportation to and from the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River (air tickets, high-speed trains, bullet trains, trains)+Yangtze River Three Gorges cruise ship tickets+other scenic spots (one-day tours in Chongqing and Wuhan) into a tourism product, forming their own special itinerary. This price is difficult to compare uniformly, so we can only consult the local travel agency. Another form is independent travel, which means purchasing tickets separately through offline or online channels. The ticket price for foreign-related cruise ships is generally between 1300-3500 yuan per person, and the ticket price fluctuates depending on the peak and off peak seasons, as well as holidays. This price includes meals during the boat ride (morning, afternoon, evening), some tourist attractions (usually ghost cities, Little Three Gorges, Three Gorges Dam), and cruise accommodation. The selling price of each cruise ticket point may vary, and it is necessary to confirm with the ticket point the tourism items included in the ticket price. Generally speaking, the price quoted by the cruise ticket point is the most basic single ship ticket price.

Room type selection:

There is no classification of cabin classes for foreign-related cruise ships, only the types of room types available for selection. The room types of foreign-related cruise ships are mainly standard rooms, accounting for two-thirds of each cruise ship's rooms. Because different cruise companies may have different descriptions of room types, when purchasing tickets, it is important to pay attention to whether the booked room has windows or balconies, whether it is a king size room (1 double bed), a standard room (2 single beds), or a suite (up to 2 people staying), and the price varies depending on the room type. It is recommended to choose a room with a balcony, so that when the boat is sailing in the river, it can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Three Gorges without leaving home.

Floor selection:

The basic quotation for ship tickets is on the lowest floor of the cruise ship, and cruise companies usually allocate floors from lower floors to higher floors. If you want to upgrade floors in advance, you usually need to add 100-150 yuan/person per floor.

other expenses:

Due to the more complete functional layout and supporting facilities of foreign-related cruise ships compared to economy cruise ships. There are many places for self consumption on board, such as cinemas in non-public areas KTV、 Meeting rooms, VIP restaurants, bars, etc. In addition, participating in self selected scenic spot tours requires an additional fee. Generally, Shibaozhai, Baidicheng, and Xiaoxiaosanxia are self funded scenic spots.
