Luxurious cruise play on the Yangtze River's Three Gorges with a different gourmet experience every day

Yes, what we didn't expect was how reluctant we would be to leave this journey. Looking back now, the impact is still profound. We miss the unique scenery each day, the different gourmet food, and the varied programs... We all say 'time flies so fast, the trip feels so short,' to the point where on the last day we even wish the trip could be extended. For us who grew up by the Yangtze River, the river has always held an important place in our hearts. This time, we chose a luxurious cruise through the Three Gorges. Let's talk about our impressions first. 🔸【Overall Impressions】 1. Sailing experience: We didn't expect the cruise to be so quiet and stable, true to its all-electric propulsion. When we encountered other cruises or docked at the pier, we could hear the loud noise from the other ships and see their smoke upon departure, but our cruise was free from that (real experience). 2. Dining experience: Teacher Cheng said he felt like he gained several pounds on the cruise, haha. We discovered that the restaurant's cuisine was different every day, and they even included the 'Chongqing Flavor 360 Bowl' gourmet IP dishes created by the Chongqing Cultural and Tourism Committee, which were super abundant. We couldn't stop eating. A small detail that touched us was that the restaurant staff remembered our 'preferences' from the first day and always recommended dishes that suited our tastes. 3. Excursion experience: When going on excursions, we needed to swipe our room cards twice, which let the crew know if everyone had returned to the ship. This was a great feature, and we thought 'this is so suitable for parents, no need to worry too much, and it made me want to experience it again.' Also, before disembarking for each excursion, everyone was given bottled water, and upon returning to the cruise, we were greeted with hot towels to wipe our hands. If you felt too tired to visit the shore attractions, you could rest on the ship, where the onboard cinema would play movies. 4. Itinerary experience: We found the itinerary particularly rich, not only with shore excursions but also with the captain's welcome cocktail party and cultural performances on the cruise. Time seemed to fly by every day. 5. Accommodation experience: This time we stayed on the 6th floor of the cruise, and each room had a viewing balcony. At night, we watched the faintly visible mountains on both sides from the balcony, feeling the river breeze, and it was just too beautiful. 6. Other experiences: Besides these, we found that the ship also had KTV, a cinema, a children's play area, a book bar, and other areas to meet the needs of different groups of people. It's worth mentioning that you can also visit the cockpit, which is great for kids to learn something new. In August, there's even a summer parent-child voyage, which is fantastic. Overall, we feel it's perfect for a family trip, and we will definitely bring our parents next time to experience the comfort and romance of a Three Gorges cruise journey. 🔸【Cruise Itinerary】 We boarded the ship in Yichang, and the whole trip was 5 days and 4 nights. Day1: Departure to Yichang, take the cruise's dedicated bus to the boarding pier - buffet dinner Day2: Three Gorges Tribe - Three Gorges Dam - Captain's welcome cocktail party Day3: Goddess Stream - Wu Gorge - Qutang Gorge - Baidi City - Cultural performance Day4: Fengdu Ghost City - Cultural performance Day5: Buffet breakfast - Arrive in Chongqing and disembark 🔸【About the Cruise】 This time we experienced the Century Cruise (it is said that in addition to the Three Gorges cruise, Century Cruise's travel routes extend to various waters around the world, with itineraries including Egypt cruises, polar cruises, European river cruises, and Japan-Korea sea cruises). 🔸【Other Tips】 1. There will be late-night snacks on the ship, which can be pre-ordered at 20:00 and prepared after 22:00. 2. There is an onboard photographer throughout the trip to capture moments, and on the last day, we picked out several of our own photos, which is an additional charge.
