Thank you for the question. However, I’m sorry to tell you that there is temporarily no Yangtze River cruise ship sailing between Shanghai and Chongqing in 2017 and 2018. If you want to experience the cruise trip along Yangtze River, you can also choose the “4 days & 3 nights downstream cruise from Chongqing to Yichang” and the “5 days & 4 nights upstream cruise from Yichang to Chongqing”, which is the golden section along the Yangtze and also the top choice of Yangtze River cruise guests. If you are interested in that, you could tell us your group size, nationality, travel time to China, and other needs, our travel expert will arrange an ideal cruise ship for you at any time.
Wish you a happy day!
