Security, Luggage, Valuables FAQs & Tips

1. How about the securities are onboard?

Inland River cruises feature narrow rivers, fast flowing water and submerged rocks, unlike sea or ocean cruises, especially the upper reaches of the Yangtze. During the low water period, some waterways become endangered for ships with a large draft.

So, you cannot swim in Yangtze River while onboard. All 4 star and 5 star cruise ships are all equipped with the most secure facilities and all verified by the National Ministry of Communications of PRC and obtained the right to receive foreign travelers.

2. Where should I put my luggage?

All cabins on each ship provide empty closets and carriers for baggage. On some ships with small cabins, a left-luggage service is offered. Although there is no baggage limitation aboard the ship, for your own comfort, we suggest that you should limit the number of pieces that you bring.

3. Should I bring with my valuables?

Usually, there are the safety deposit boxes on each cruise ship. You valuables may be left in a complimentary safety box at the Reception Desk, Deck 2, on each vessel. We strongly recommend that you do not leave valuables in your cabin. When checking in, you should enquire about that on the Receptive Desk.

4. My luggage will be delivered onboard if I join in the group travelers? But, if I am an individual tourist?

Yes, group travelers will have their luggage be arranged to be delivered aboard, and then placed into their rooms. For individual tourists, porters are paid one dollar per piece of luggage carried while embarking or disembarking.
