Chongqing Port Transportation

Travel TIPS:

  • If you are arriving in Chongqing on your cruise departing date, we suggest you book a flight arriving at Chongqing before 4:00 pm or a train arriving before 5:00 pm. The cruie ship embarkation time is usually between 17:00-20:00. However, in case of any flight delay, you may also arrive in Chongqing one day in advance to explore the mountain city.

  • According to the water level conditions, the embarkation port might be changed to Fengdu Port, and a coach transfer would be arranged from Chongqing city center by the cruise line. If this situation happens, we would inform you about the coach departing time and location (in both English and Chinese) by email at least one day before your cruise departure date, so please make sure to check your email before heading to Chaotianmen Port, the normal 3 Nights cruise departing port.

Private Transfer

If you prefer a worry-free tour experience, you may book a private transfer (add-on service) when you book a Yangtze River cruise with us. Your private driver will expect you and send you to Chaotianmen Port, and you don’t need to share the van with any strangers. It is also an ideal option for groups with more than 2 people, as there might be no enough space for 3-4 PAX with baggage in a taxi.
