About the programme

This is a journey through China, in which the urban rhythm of the capital gives way to the slow flow of the Yangtze River: eight days, seven nights on the route Beijing — Chongqing — Yichang. The first part of the trip is an introduction to Beijing and its historical ensembles, the second is a cruise on the ship Century Paragon along the gorges, with stops in riverside cities.

Beijing provides a dense and rich beginning: here there are both huge imperial complexes, and large squares, and a lunch with Peking duck. The days are structured so that after a rich program there remains free time at the hotel — one can catch one's breath. Optionally and for an additional fee, additional excursion options can be added, for example a ride on cycle rickshaws through the old quarters of the city. Also for an additional fee, early check-in upon arrival is possible.

Then the route heads toward Chongqing: a flight, a transfer to the Chaotianmen pier and boarding the ship. On board begins a special part of the trip — dinner, a safety briefing and a captain's cocktail, and then the ship departs toward Fengdu County. Internal services include accommodation in a Deluxe Room Twin cabin on the second deck and gratuities for the cruise staff; a deck upgrade is for an additional fee.

The days on the water alternate between shore excursions and free time on board. Participants will see the ghost city of Fengdu, the Qutang and Wu gorges, and also take a boat ride on the Goddess River. Some excursions are offered for an additional fee: the theatrical performance "Three Kingdoms", a visit to the City of the White Emperor and a trip on the ship lift.

The journey ends in Yichang: an excursion to the Three Gorges Dam with the Yangtze River closure memorial park and the project museum, then a flight to Beijing and a night at a hotel near the airport. The last day is departure home; optionally one can continue the vacation in any place in China or the countries of Southeast Asia. International air tickets are not included.
