  • Additional Costs: China visa processing fee, add-on airfare from your home city to Air China gateway (Vancouver or New York JFK) where applicable, optional travel insurance is additional to the tour fare. The gratuities of $8 per traveler per travel day to cover your tour guides, drivers, and porters are recommended and are at your discretion.

    Like western mainstream cruise lines, the tips to service crewmembers are expected for the Yangtze River cruise ship.

You can pay it with your credit card, Chinese RMB, or U.S. cash while onboard.
     
  • Note airline fuel surcharge, Canada and China air taxes & fees, and China visa fee are beyond our control and therefore subject to change. Changes to fuel surcharges and government imposed taxes & fees may result in a change to the tour fare. The price of a tour will be based on the advertised tour fare on the day of booking.
     
  • Special Promotion (Discount): From time to time, we run special promotion (as specified in the above "Discount" column). Depending on the tour and the time you book, additional savings may be available if your deposit payment is received before the booking deadline. Due to the popularity of this tour and the limited inventory of group seats, the tour fare and promotion discount are subject to change and will be assessed and adjusted at the middle and the end of each month.
     
  • Cash Discount Rate: A CAD$200 per person deposit is required to secure a reservation and is payable by credit card or personal check. To take advantage of the cash discount rate, you must pay the balance due by personal check or money order. The balance payment is due 50 days prior to the departure date. The cash discount is not affected by how you pay the initial deposit.
     
  • Non-cash Discount rate: Unless otherwise stated you will be billed for the "Cash Discount Rate" as specified in your tour invoice. The "Non-cash Discount Rate adds $200 on top of "Cash Discount Rate" per person.

    Note, The optional add-on flight from your home city to the Air China gateway must be arranged according to the provisions of the Air China contract with various U.S./Canada carriers in order to qualify as a through-fare with the Air China transpacific flight to China. These contracted flights are subject to availability. The booking procedures, fare class, flight options, airports and layover times are strictly determined by Air China contract. The flights available under the Air China contract have a limited seat inventory. If you prefer different flight times, routing, or layovers, you are free to do so on your own, but we cannot package non-contract flights as part of your tour package.

    Please be advised that New York has three main airports, but Air China uses only JFK. The add-on flights to New York on the Air China contract may get you to any of the three airports depending on which flight you are confirmed on. If your flight does not arrive at the JFK airport, you must arrange for ground transportation to JFK on your own.
