We left Alaska early to arrive in Beijing on Sunday,a day early before our scheduled tour. We and a second couple, also arriving early, were met at the airport by our Tour Guide (James) and were transported to our hotel where James made sure that all of our accommodations were taken care of and up to Viking standards. He made sure that we were fully informed about our upcoming tour agenda and travel connections, that included our tour extension to Hong Kong.
Since this tour was a combined air and ship tour the hotel provisions were all five star and the individual hotel dining buffet accommodations were excusive.
The ship accommodations and staff equaled the hotel provisions as were the dining opportunities. The combination of buffet and menu dining offered an amassing dining opportunity for even the most discriminating traveler.
Cabin was spacious with adequate storage, very clean and the furnishings were well maintained. The cabin attendant was very attentive and very cordial thus making our stay very memorable. The fresh fruit service was very pleasurable and quite a surprise.
Beyond all expectations.
