If you have chosen our cruise for your vacations, your cruise, hotel, sightseeing tours and meals are all included in one price. Other expense on-board include tipping, souvenirs, shore excursion shopping and extra alcoholic beverages. For special services such as laundry, haircuts, gym use, massages and other entertainment activities as requested personally, you will be charged extra. Tipping is becoming acceptable for travel guides, tour bus drivers, porters and waiters in top-class hotels and restaurants. Tipping is recommended if you require special assistance and the average runs about USD $3-5/ day/ person.

Travel souvenirs, gifts, sweets, and flowers for friends or family are available in the gift shop on board .

Most ships offer limited alcoholic beverages. Beverage served with dinner are included with your fare; however, drinks in bars, lounges or clubsare not included with your fare.

Peddlers and touts often sell various souvenirs such as handicrafts, Chinese paintings, coins, lacquers, T-shirts, or even some seemly precious jade and bronze along the shore excursions. Choose carefully if you are not very skilled at bargaining. Show your appreciation, and do not offer a price unless you really want to buy something . If forced sales happen, you may complain to the National Tourism Administrative Bureau directly or to the Institutions of Supervision over Quality.
