President No.8 Cruise Ship

“Nice cruise down the Yangtze River.”

We spent three nights on the President 8, cruising from Chongqing to Yichang and the Three Gorges Dam. The cruise was pleasant and relaxing, and the scenery wonderful. The cruise included various excursions, and only the afternoon trips were included in the price of the cruise. We did enjoy the free afternoon excursions, especially the boat ride on the Shennong River...a tributary to the Yangtze. Most staff was pleasant and accommodating, the rooms are clean and nice, and the food is good. Special thanks to Mona, our river guide, and Jessica our waitress. You both offered great service and assistance.

We sailed 3 nights on the President no 8. It was fun and relaxing. The boat assigned our group of 6 an English speaking hostess to help us in all our needs. I found the cruise was very relaxing with less energetic activities (which was much appreciated after having traveled/walked for the 8 previous days). The boat could also benefit from having an onboard-ATM which is not available. Also be aware that acupuncture treatments from the doctor are expected to be paid in cash and cannot be charged to the ship. The food was good and the service was top-notch. All in all it was an enjoyable and restful 3 days.

First of all, we did not have any problem during our entire cruise. The ship was large, well equipped and of a quite high standard. The rooms were surprisingly large for a river cruise with all the necessary amenities and quite good and comfortable beds. We had enough space to store our luggage and belongings. Everything was always clean and twice a day attended. The individual balcony was equipped with two chairs and served nicely to watch the shore pass by. Even the laundry was well done. Overall we had a very enjoyable trip and the time passed pretty quickly. We felt, that the service standard was quite high and capable.
