Hello Mario,
Thank you for the inquiry. I'd like to share that the overnight will be in the hotel at Chongqing and Zhangjiajie. While during the Yangtze River cruise, it will be on the boat. Both hotels and cruises can be 3-star, 4-star or 5-star, depending on your budget.
Hope the above is helpful. If any further questions, please feel free to let us know.
Warm regards,
