The most affordable option departs from Mopanshan Pier. You can choose between a standard cabin and upgraded upper-deck seating. The upper deck has larger windows and a quieter atmosphere, great for photos, and the outdoor viewing deck is free for all passengers. Onboard commentary is in Chinese.

Zhujiang Pier is less crowded than Mopanshan Pier. Compared with 3-star cruises, there are fewer passengers and more spacious cabins, and a Chinese and Western lunch buffet and Chinese/English onboard commentary are included. Upgrade to the upper deck for even more open views.

This cruise features VIP boarding, elegant interiors, a premium lunch buffet, premium seating with panoramic viewing areas, and onboard service. Chinese/English onboard commentary is included.
