Reservations and Ticketing


A Reserved Ticket guarantees your seat on board. When visitors book any Li River Cruise, they will receive an electronic ticket which can be used to either changeover into a physical ticket or it allows entry.

If you have purchased a ticket for one of our cruises but would like to take another cruise instead, that’s no problem whatsoever! If the cruise has a greater value than the cruise you have already purchased you will have to pay the difference between the two cruises. However, if the cruise price value is less than the cruise you have already purchased we will not refund you the price difference of two cruises.

If you choose to take a different cruise there is no need to exchange your current ticket for a new ticket. You may use the ticket you have already for the different cruise you are interested in.

Child tickets are available for children under 120 cms tall, discounted tickets are available for between 120 – 140 cms tall whilst over 140 cms tall (regardless of age) is charged at full price. Infants or young children can share the seat.

Combos

A Li River Cruise Combo is a bundled package that includes a reserved-date Circle Line cruise ticket with another activity or activities, usually always on the same date. Different attractions have different admissions policies, these will be stated on your ticket

Discounts

We sometimes offer discounts on certain dates – please check the Deals and Combos pages for more details.

Sorry but we don’t ‘bargain’ prices for our services. We are well aware of the pricing models adopted by a number of different re-sellers and don’t plan on competing on price. We offer private cruise options (not join-in group) and if you’d prefer to join a group tour, which is obviously cheaper as the transportation costs are shared, we completely understand.

For example, if you have booked a cruise for the 27th June 2018, an example of 3 x days’ notice is contacting us on 24th June 2018 (which is 3 x days prior to the cruise departure date). Time of contact and communication is based on Beijing time.

 

Boarding begins a half hour before departure. To ensure you get on the cruise at the time you are interested in, please arrive one hour to 45 minutes before the departure to allow yourself time to and make your way to your seating on our cruise.
