China Yangtze River Cruise Tours

Most travellers come from Australia, New Zealand and the UK, though occasionally English-speaking guests from other countries join our tours.

Besides your visa, it’s recommended to have:

• Return flight tickets
• Accommodation information
• Proof of sufficient funds

Always check official sources before your trip, as regulations may change.

For group tours, your spot is confirmed once we receive your deposit.
For private tours, short stays, extensions or additional nights, confirmation typically takes 3–10 days depending on the destination and local holidays.
After confirmation, we will send an updated invoice showing your deposit. Please ensure your name matches your passport exactly. Forms can also be accessed on our website.
