The Yangtze River

High season and shoulder season.
Cruising along the Yangtze is available all the year. High season is around spring and autumn in April, May, June, September and October. The season division varies with different cruise lines. Please go to Cruise Ship Gallery for the sailing schedule of the specified ship you choose. Cruise rates drop down 30% of the original one in shoulder seasons or in winter.
High water season and low water seaon
In summer, dramatic thunderstorms and torrential rains often happen and heavy rainfalls cause the high water between July and September. This period is usually considered as the high water season (flood season) on the cruising itineraries. And in winter, due to less rainfall, cruising usually halts somewhere in the low water season (dry season).
