Life on the Cruise Ship

The cruise ship has an indoor swimming pool, a cinema and a lineup of luxury suites and rooms. The price for a four or fiv-day stay ranges from 3500 yuan per person to 3800 yuan, including meals, accommodation and sightseeing tickets along the route.

Western and Chinese food are both available on the ship. There is also internet access, but charged at 20 yuan per hour, which is overpriced compared to land services. Tourists can bring their wireless internet card to save expenses.

As tourists spend a lot of time watching the scenery on the open deck, sun block or umbrella is strongly recommended.
