Find Your Cruise: Shore Excursions Comparisons

The Three Gorges, stretching 192 kilometers, are home to a multitude of scenic spots. While luxury cruise companies operate the same lines for the Three Gorges tour (4-day Chongqing to Yichang/5-day Yichang to Chongqing), each company has its own unique approach and considerations when planning shore excursions. This allows you to select a cruise that aligns with your interests in visiting specific landmarks. Notably, both the iconic sections of the Three Gorges and the Three Gorges Dam are offered by all cruise operators.

Notice: 1. Typically, cruise lines that do not offer all-inclusive packages include up to 3 onshore visits in their pricing for the whole trip. Apart from the day of boarding, they plan a maximum of 2-3 shore excursions per day (some sites mentioned above can only be explored by selecting one over the other).
2. The information on included and optional shore excursions is for guidance and comparison purposes only. Once you have made up your mind to choose a particular cruise company/ship, please navigate to the specific itinerary page to check the detailed arrangements.
3. For those curious about the shore excursions on the 11/12-day Shanghai to Chongqing cruise, please refer to Century Legend, which is the sole cruise ship operating on this route in the year 2025.

Select Your Yangtze Cruise By Line

Almost every ship runs a stable route with fixed arrangement in a whole year that you can choose your favored route either downstream or upstream!
