Q: Are hairdryers provided in the bathroom?

A:

Yes, hairdryers are provided in the bathroom on all our Century & Victoria cruise ships.

On our Yangtze River cruises, we understand that personal grooming amenities are essential for our guests' comfort and convenience, especially for international travelers accustomed to high standards. Therefore, every stateroom and suite across our fleet is equipped with a hairdryer in the private bathroom. This is a standard feature on both Century and Victoria series ships, reflecting our commitment to providing a hassle-free experience. The hairdryers are typically mounted on the wall or stored in a bathroom drawer, ensuring they are easily accessible and ready for use upon your arrival.

While hairdryers are standard, there may be slight variations in model and power depending on the ship class and cabin category. For instance, on newer vessels like the Century Paragon or Victoria Sabrina, you'll find more powerful, modern hairdryers with multiple heat settings, whereas on some classic ships, they are functional and reliable but may have basic features. If you find that the hairdryer is not to your preference or if it's inadvertently missing from your bathroom, our housekeeping team can promptly provide a replacement or an additional one upon request. We also conduct regular inspections and maintenance to ensure all amenities meet our quality and safety standards.

> Director's Note: All hairdryers provided in our cabins are safety-tested and compatible with the 220V electrical system used on board. For your safety, please avoid using the hairdryer near water sources like the sink or shower, and always ensure your hands are dry when handling it to prevent accidents.

For guests who prefer their own hairdryer, you are welcome to bring one. However, please note that our cabins use 220V outlets with standard two-pin sockets, so ensure your device is dual-voltage or compatible to avoid damage. If you have any concerns about amenities or need assistance, don't hesitate to contact the front desk or your cabin attendant upon boarding—they are trained to address your needs swiftly. We recommend checking the bathroom drawer or wall upon arrival, and if anything is amiss, a quick call will resolve it.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
