What is the difference between upstream and downstream sailings?
1) The downstream sailings take less time; 2) For the downstream sailings, the ship will drop anchor at midnight, and starts sailing in the early morning, while it keeps sailing both at day and night for the upstream sailing. Thus when sleeping the noise is much less and you get better sleep. Thats why – 3) For many ships, the downstream cruise is more expensive than the upstream cruise. 4) The excursion sites are also different.
UPSTREAM 1)Upstream trip is more relax and enjoyable because of one more day staying on the cruise ship. 2)Have more chance to learn some chinese culture and custom for foreign passengers. 3)As there are more people takes downstream cruises, taking upstream can avoid that crowded passenger and much easier to make reservation. DOWNSTREAM 1) Chongqing has a bigger airport than Yichang airport, so there are quite a lot airline from home and abroad. 2) For the downstream sailings, the ship berths at midnight, and set sail in the early morning, while it keeps sailing both at day and night for the upstream sailing. Therefore, you may get a sweeter sleep under less noise. 3) As for downstream sailings, it usually takes 4 days/3 nights, while 5 days/4 nihgts needed for upstream sailing. so, for some travellers who have not enough time, the downstream trip is best choice.
1) A cruise downstream takes less time. 2) For cruising downstream the ship will drop anchor at midnight, and start sailing again in the early morning, while the upstream cruise keeps sailing both day and night. Because of this, on the downstream cruise there is much less noise at night and you can get a better night’s sleep. 3) For many ships, the downstream cruise is more expensive than the upstream cruise. 4) The excursion sites are also different.
