    Dan

    Asked on January 15th, 2024

    Is it possible to share a room with another female traveller?

    Accommodation
    • CostsaverOperatorWritten January 2024

      The Iconic China with Yangtze Cruise tour is one of our tours which doesn't accommodate twin share options, that is, options that let you share a twin room with an unrelated guest of the same gender. You have the options of either sharing with a traveller that you know and are booking with (no matter in the world they're booking from) or staying in your own room through the tour.

Can’t find the answer to your question?
Reach out to the experts at Costsaver with your enquiry, they usually respond within 7 hours.
