Without changing hotels during the entire trip, is there a more relaxing way to travel than on a river cruise?

It's been less than two months since I came off the Celebrity Cruise. I went to Yichang again and took a Yangtze River cruise. If cruise travel allows people to experience the leisure of retirement life in advance, A river cruise can be said to be a more relaxing way to travel. When you are on a cruise ship, you see the sea most of the time. The river cruise can take you to appreciate the cities, towns, villages and farmlands on both sides of the river. The landscape will be more diverse. Once you have experienced river cruise travel, Your perception of what a truly leisurely journey is will change. 👍Main advantages of river cruises 🟡Slow pace: Play during the day and sleep at night. You can visit the attractions after docking and return to the boat at any time when you want to rest, which saves both worry and effort. No need to change hotels frequently, travel long distances or carry luggage repeatedly. 🟡Immerse yourself in the scenery throughout the journey: Since the river ship has a small tonnage, you can reach the scenic spot as soon as you dock at the port, and the scenery on both sides of the river is endless. It can be said that you are traveling through the scenery almost every moment. 🟡Comfortable and convenient: There are usually only a few hundred passengers on the ship, and there is not much difference between getting on and off the ship and entering and leaving the hotel. 🟡The guest rooms are more exquisite than those on ocean-going ships, and truly meet hotel standards. 🟡 The food is good. The river cruise stops every day, and most of the ingredients are prepared at the stop on the same day, so the food is fresher and it is easier to eat local specialties. 🟡All-inclusive price, the boat ticket fee already covers transportation, accommodation, meals, shore activities and WiFi, saving the trouble of additional itinerary arrangements. 🚢How to choose a Yangtze River cruise? 1️⃣Choose new ships: give priority to ships launched in the past three years. New ships are equipped with intelligent electric propulsion systems, fresh air circulation, etc., which have better noise reduction. 2️⃣ Look at the space: the basic room area is >25㎡, and the passenger capacity per thousand tons is <50 people (high-quality ships only have 18-43 people). 3️⃣ Focus on service: passenger-to-service ratio <1:4, priority given to "all-inclusive + limited passenger flow" ships. If you are looking for the ultimate in service, choose Yangtze Explorer (an all-suite river cruise); for value for money and comprehensive experience, choose Century Triumph/Oasis; for family travel, consider Yangtze Three or the Gold Series. This time I chose the Century Triumph. As a new ship that will make its maiden voyage in 2022, the Century Triumph cost nearly 300 million yuan and is a "mobile museum" on the Yangtze River that combines technology and culture: ✅Cultural immersion: The entire ship is a mini museum, with exhibits at the corners of the stairs on each deck. On the 5th floor is the Chongqing Library branch, where you can borrow books and read by the river. ✅Diverse activities: intangible cultural heritage painted fans, cocktail salon, cockpit visit. Gymnasium, foot massage, SPA, KTV and chess and card room are also available. ✅Highlights of food and accommodation: Rooms start from 26 square meters, and free laundry is included in executive rooms and above; the restaurant serves Yangtze River themed dishes every day (such as Wuhan hot dry noodles and freshly made noodles in the open stall), and prawns, abalone, and sea cucumbers are also served in different ways every day.
