President No.8

The ships President No.7 and No.8 are sister ships. Onboard the President No.8 cruise ship, there is an iconic atrium lobby, a double-decker restaurant, a multifunctional hall, and an advanced internet club.

In terms of comfort, President No.8 cruise ship uses the most advanced floating deck technology so passengers can barely feel the sway of the hull. The standard noise reduction system of the sea ship effectively reduces the impact of wheel noise on the guest staterooms, which is much lower than the noise decibel value of the national five-star cruise ship criteria.

The largest spa on the Yangtze River cruise ships allows passengers to relax after a day of sightseeing. Wha's more, there are other services and entertainment facilities. Indoor heated swimming pool, bar, luxury movie theater, Massage Room & Sauna, salon, cigar bar, shopping mall, photo center, gym, internet club, laundry, library, medical office, etc.

There are nearly 200 crew members on board. On average, each staff only serves 2-3 tourists, which improves the service quality and response efficiency.
President No.8 cruise ships use the double-shell and double-bottom technology adopted by ocean cruise ships to ensure the safe navigation of cruise ships. There are safety facilities such as life jackets in every room. The cruise line utilizes environmentally friendly materials that exceed national standards to decorate all the staterooms to ensure the health of passengers, and fire-resistant building materials to ensure cruise safety.

The Deck 2-6 is the passenger room area, and the spacious atrium separates the rooms and entertainment area on the 5th and 6th floors. At the same time, the entertainment area is equipped with advanced sound insulation facilities. The swimming pool, sauna center, fitness center, etc. are all located below the Deck 1. In this way, a quiet and comfortable environment is guaranteed for every passenger.

Each stateroom has an ensuite bathroom, and the private balcony allows passengers to enjoy the magnificent view of the Yangtze River at any time. Besides, the cruise ship has dramatically improved its safety, comfort, and ergonomic design. The bathroom facilities in the room are five-star hotel standards, all of which use top international brands. Fresh Air Ventilation System allows passengers to breathe the fresh air of the Three Gorges in the room.

In lieu of tipping, the cruise line charges CNY 150 (approximately US $22.00) upon check-in. This service charge does not include a gratuity to our river guide or cruise director, which may be given at your discretion based on their satisfaction with services received.
