China Cruise Travel Network
Booking methods for cruise travel: booking on the official website of cruise companies, booking through travel agents, booking on online travel platforms, and booking at cruise travel exhibitions.
1. Book on the official website of the cruise company.
Many cruise companies have official websites in Chinese, where you can find and book cruise tours.
2. Booking through a travel agent
Many travel agencies have branches in China, and they can help you find the most suitable cruise tour for your needs.
3. Book on the online travel platform.
Some online travel platforms, such as Ctrip and Qunar, also provide cruise travel booking services.
4. Book at the cruise tourism exhibition.
Every year, some cruise exhibitions are held in China, where you can learn about the products and services of different cruise companies and book cruise tours directly.
Matters needing attention when booking tickets:
1. When booking a cruise ticket, it is necessary to find out in advance whether this fare includes visa fees, port fees and tips, and ask clearly when booking.
2. When booking an international cruise ticket, you need to know whether the destination is visa-free, if it is not necessary to apply for a visa in advance.
3. Because the places where cruise ships dock will be remote, it is necessary to know how to solve the traffic to the dock when booking cruise tickets.
4. When booking a cruise-make sure the time and number of people traveling, and don't change them at will, which will require a lot of fines.
5. Cruise travel needs to bring your ID card, valid passport and visa, and then you need to bring warm clothes and some toiletries. In short, through the above contents, I believe that everyone has already understood the question of "where to book tickets for cruise travel". It can be known that cruise travel tickets can be booked in many ways, and you must know the basic information of the cruise when booking.
There is no domestic cruise ship in China, and the first domestic cruise ship will be delivered in 2023.
At the symposium on the Belt and Road Initiative and the development of cruise economy held on May 31st, Wu Qiang, general manager of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, said: The first domestic cruise ship will be delivered in 2023 and one will be delivered every year from 2024 to 2028. According to the plan, the first domestic cruise ship has a total length of 323.6 meters, a width of 37.2 meters, a design draft of 8.25 meters, nearly 2,000 rooms and a maximum passenger capacity of nearly 5,000 people.
Extended data:
China cruise economy started in 2006. For more than 10 years, the number of cruise tourists in China has increased at a compound annual growth rate of 45%. The International Cruise Industry Association predicts that the total cruise tourism market in the Asia-Pacific region will surpass that in the United States in the next 10 years. It is estimated that around 2025, the number of cruise tourists in China will exceed 10 million, and about 100 large cruise ships will be needed.
In the general downturn of the global shipbuilding market, large cruise ships are "unique in scenery". At present, the manufacturing center of large-scale cruise ships has been in Europe, and the orders of European shipping companies have been scheduled for 2025, which provides an opportunity for China shipping companies to build large-scale cruise ships locally based on the incremental demand in China and the Asia-Pacific cruise market.
