Huangpu River Dinner Cruise

Settle into an evening river sailing that pairs relaxed onboard ambience with live entertainment while the current carries you smoothly through the city.

Arrive at the main departure pier about 20 minutes early, clear two checkpoints, then board and choose your spot on the four-deck vessel.

Follow a two-way route along the Huangpu, passing bridges, the city's financial district, and waterfront towers for panoramic skyline views.

Stay on the general decks and follow the audio commentary or broadcasts that point out sights, with restrooms and vending machines nearby for comfort.

Select your preferred dining style on board, from a buffet dinner with seafood and desserts to multi-course banquet menus served at your table.

Upgrade to a private room with no corkage on bring-your-own drinks, or choose a cruise option that follows a circular route past waterfront landmarks.
