The pace of Three Gorges cruise tourism is slow, with food, accommodation, transportation, and entertainment mostly taking place on the cruise ship. It offers both comfortable vacations and relaxing sightseeing, and even shore tours can be selectively participated in according to one's physical condition, making it very suitable for the elderly. Three Gorges cruise ships can carry electric wheelchairs on board, and people with limited mobility can choose cruise ships with vertical elevators to avoid the inconvenience of going up and down floors. It is worth noting that some of the docks on the Three Gorges shipping route do not have convenient access, and there are many stairs, which may require assistance for people with limited mobility.
Elderly people over 70 years old taking the Three Gorges cruise ship not only need to be in good health, but also require family members to accompany them. Whether there are elevators and cinemas on the cruise ship is also a key factor to consider, although most of the movies screened in cinemas are classic old films, not the latest ones in the cinema.
Most luxury cruise ships operating on the Chongqing Yichang route, except for Victoria 5, Victoria 7, and Yangtze River Legend, have elevators.
The entire series of Gold 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 includes Century Glory, Century Myth, Century Legend, President 7 and 8, Meiwei Hyatt, Changjiang 2, Goddess 2, and Goddess 3. Some cruise cinemas are chargeable items, subject to the actual implementation of the ship.
