Question1: What season is the most suitable for a cruise on Yangtze River and what is the weather like?

Answer1:  Spring or autumn is the most suitable season for a river cruise. Rain is frequent which causes the rise of river water in summer. It is too cold in winter. Generally, the weather is humid and windy in spring and autumn with little sunshine. The average temperature is about 15 C.

 

Question2: What do the high season and low season refer to?

Answer2:  The cruise companies define high and low season according to their cruise lines and the water lever. Generally speaking, April, May, June, September and October are among the high seasons for a river cruise. Cruising along the Yangtze River is available all the year. The cruise prices drop down 30% of the original one in low seasons.

 

Question3: How can I get to the ship and when should I arrive?

Answer3:  We will make considerate arrangement to transfer you from the airport to the ship if you have purchased our cruise packages. However, if you want to go to the ship by yourselves, we suggest that you get the necessary information such as the port’s name and location and the time of departure. In addition, you need to arrive the ship several hours before the departure time.

 

Question4: What clothes shall I bring when making a Yangtze River cruise?

Answer4:  If you plan to cruise in spring or autumn, we suggest you bring a T-shirt, light jacket, wind coat and jeans. A light sweater is needed for a winter cruise.
