Restaurant Options
On most Yangtze River cruise ships, there are two restaurants.
Main Dining Room (Century Paragon)
VIP Dining Room (Century Paragon)
-
Main Dining Room
The main dining room is usually on Deck 2 with large round tables (8-10 PAX), and all passengers could have meals at this restaurant without any extra cost.
-
VIP Dining Room
The VIP Dining Room is on a higher deck with smaller tables (2-4 PAX), which could provide a more private dining experience with fewer people. Usually, it is exclusive for suite passengers, but Standard Cabin passengers could choose to pay extra to upgrade to VIP Dining Room upon check-in. The food in the VIP Dining Room is similar to the Main Dining Room, but there would be some chef specialties.
