Upper Deck or Lower Deck?

To help you choose a favorite deck on Yangzi Explorer, you can know more about the features of upper deck and lower deck.

Features of Upper Decks:

Cabins on upper decks aren’t always the best on the ship, but many Suites including Jade Suite and Mandarin Suite are typically located on upper deck. A major bonus of being near the top of Yangzi Explorer is the fantastic view. The higher the deck, the better and more panoramic the view. Besides, if you want to enjoy the sunshine or Three Gorges scenery on the sun deck, you might choose a cabin on a high deck (like deck 4). Moreover, if you would like to attend activities or go to the bar, you can choose a higher deck for some entertainment facilities.

Features of Lower Decks:

Lower decks (like deck 2) are close to areas of embarkation and disembarkation, as well as front desk, main lobby, main dining hall, so it shouldn’t be far to get to most places you’d like to go. If you are prone to very easy seasick (It would not be a problem for 99 percent of travelers ), you’d better choose a cabin at the middle of ship.

If you’re unsure, check deck plans of Yangzi Explorer cruise ship first and discuss cabin location with your professional Yangtze cruise experts to inquiry about rooms before booking a cabin.
