Traveler reviews
Vladimir
★★★★★a month agoShanghai Port International Cruise Terminal is a very convenient spot. We took a taxi from the center, which took about 15 minutes. The terminal is well-organized; once we arrived and unloaded our luggage, it took only five minutes to get settled on our ship, the Century Cruises Legend. We are now enjoying the journey along the Yangtze River to Chongqing. A perfect starting point for a river
Mana Jalali
★★★★★8 months agoGreat views and vibes. You can’t cross to the other side of the water on foot, no tunnels or bridges. The only option is a 35 minute detour with an underground stop 😂
