could you tell me which ship will be used for the departure date of June 13th and also for the departure date of June 14th. Is it going to be cabins with balcony?

Below is list for the cruise names. June 13: Vista Harmony June 14: Century Glory There are cheaper cruise as below June 13: Yangtze Discovery June 14: Chinese Goddess No.2 All cruises have got balcony.

Would like to know the main differences between Downstream river cruise options, particularly regarding cabin size and other features

The luxury cruise is bigger ship with more advanced equipments, cabin side is bigger as well. The regular cruise is smaller with smaller cabin.

Can I apply for China visa by myself and be approved? Or do I have to go to a specific travel agent to apply for China visa?

After you book the cruise, you can apply China Visa by your own, it us easy to be approved now. Some nationalities are visa free.

Unfortunately one day less on the river than stated when booking. Good facilities; spacious, clean cabin. Spacious upper deck. Very good organization of the interesting excursions. The trip through the three gorges was really great, although the constant soundtrack from the commentator, who spoke only mediocre English, would have been dispensable. The food was varied and of excellent quality. Overall very good price/performance ratioShow more

  I saw you have two cruise tours on Tourradar website, one is Deluxe ($1092) and one is ordinary ($892)
  So the Deluxe tour will be Vista Harmony or Century Glory. The ordinary tour will be Yangtze Discovery or Chinese Goddess 2. Is this the difference between the two tours?
  Can I add VIP dining upgrade to the booking?
