Important Tips:
China Regal Cruises are indeed five-star cruise ships issued by National Tourism Administration. But frankly its accommodation can not be up to TCG's standard, the standard cabin is small and the bed is not big enough. However, why do we recommend China Regal Cruises? That's because we put more emphasis on clients' safety. All China Regal Cruises are made in German, double-decked and fireproofing. You will feel steady and safe all the time while sailing. Besides, each cruise ship offers a superior, state-of-the-art water purification system and their engineering and stabilizers make for quiet journeys and virtually motionless passages. We know that some clients may complain that the cabin is small, but considering the above factors, we still prefer to use it since clients' safety is our top priority. We do hope that clients could understand our TCG's intention to make this choice. Thank you!Alternatively, if you would like to upgrade your standard cabin to suite, please contact your travel counselor beforehand.
