Q: Do I need to pack my own shampoo and body wash for the Yangtze River cruise?

A:

No. All standard Yangtze River cruise ships provide basic shampoo, body wash, and soap in your cabin's bathroom, either in wall-mounted dispensers or small bottles.

Think of it like a hotel's plumbing fixtures—they use industrial-grade, high-volume dispensers for reliability and to minimize single-use plastic waste cluttering the septic system. The quality is functional.

If you have sensitive skin or are particular about brands, pack your own. The provided product is a standard, neutral formula. Bring a small, leak-proof bottle of your preferred body wash for use in the ship's public showers after using the pool or gym.
