So, next, Xiaobian will recommend some very good cruise ships for everyone!

Introduction

First of all, cruise ships can be divided into China home port and foreign home port.

China's home port

At present, it is mainly Tianjin, Shanghai, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Haikou and Sanya, and sometimes there are sporadic flights in Dalian, Zhoushan and Wenzhou. The most frequent departures are Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

cruise ships departing from these ports take Japan (Korea), the Philippines, Vietnam and other countries and regions as destination ports. Generally, you only need a valid passport to travel, some countries are visa-free, and some countries can handle landing visa in a unified way.

Individual voyages call at Taiwan Province and Hong Kong. If you need to disembark, you need to apply for a Hong Kong, Macao or Taiwan pass and a valid endorsement.

a foreign home port

generally needs to fly to the port of origin, and then board the ship at the port of origin. You need to apply for a visa in the country where the port of origin is located, and then you need to apply for a visa in the port of the country where you stop (if you book a group trip in a domestic travel agency, these are all handled by the domestic travel agency).

There are many such routes, such as flying to Singapore, taking the Singapore-Matai route, flying to ports along the Mediterranean Sea, taking the eastern or western Mediterranean route, flying to Los Angeles, taking the Alaska route, flying to Florida, taking the eastern or western Caribbean route and so on.

The cruise ships in foreign home ports here are suitable for tourists with rich international travel experience and slightly better foreign language skills.

Note

Choosing the route and schedule

A very important part of cruise tourism is the sailing route. A good route can not only enjoy life on board, but also visit exotic scenery. Some of the ports where cruise ships call are bustling coastal metropolises, and many of them are destinations that are difficult to reach by conventional tourism, so it is necessary to plan them carefully.

Choose a cruise company

Different cruise companies operate cruise ships with different market positioning, so choosing the cruise ships and routes that suit your own cruise company can make you enjoy products with higher cost performance.

because of different nationalities and cultural backgrounds, different cruise companies have different atmosphere on board, and often have different emphases on their services, and the themes of different routes also have their own characteristics.

If you are a food lover, you should choose a cruise ship with high food and beverage standards and great food and beverage freedom. If you like excitement and performances, you should choose a cruise ship with many entertainment programs.

Choose a boat.

Generally speaking, a big ship has more space, provides more facilities and activities, while a small boat provides more personalized services. The bigger the hull, the more time it takes to get on and off the ship, and the longer the waiting time in line, especially in the case of barge ferry.

Smaller boats can often go deep into inland ports, and tourists can go ashore for sightseeing without having to buy sightseeing arrangements on board. However, small boats are often higher in class than large ships and their prices will be much higher.

Most luxury cruise ships with high level are ships with small displacement, and there are not many entertainment facilities on board. This is because most tourists who choose luxury cruise ships require comfort and privacy, rather than entertainment.

The high price of the guests mainly results in larger cabin area, spacious balcony and more considerate person-to-person service clothes. The public * * * area is also relatively spacious, and it is rare to see crowded people, and the service is provided in time, and it is rare to wait too long because of many people.

Because the ship is small and carries less passengers, the boarding and disembarking procedures are more convenient, and there are not many guests waiting in line, which makes it much easier. Small boats can also enter some inland river docks or dock at the docks in the city center, which is convenient for tourists to visit. Most luxury cruise ships include shore sightseeing.

For example

Take Shanghai's home port as an example to make a simple recommendation

4) Costa: The Selena

has a gross tonnage of 114,111 tons and a maximum capacity of 3,781 passengers. It is decorated with elegant European style and can eat authentic Italian food. (But the overall catering level is lower than that of Royal Caribbean and Princess), and there are more aunts on board by taking the cheap route.
