My mom and I chose to travel with Viking to China because we had heard great things about Viking tours, and wanted to travel with a reputable company. When we looked at the available cruises we chose the 'cruise' from Beijing to Shanghai. One thing that appealed to us "virgin" cruisers was that there were hotel stays prior to and after the cruise portion. We had a few days in Beijing and Xian ...

Viking personnel took great care of us the entire time and we felt very safe.Our guide could not have been better. He spoke very good English, was very professional, and obviously knew his history. He went "the extra mile" for several passengers in seeing to individual requests, or in ...

We have made several Viking River cruises and other than a non-Viking tour of Egypt, this ranks at the top of our experiences. We were very well cared for by the Viking staff. We had Francis as our tour guide and Larry for the extension in Shanghai. Both were outstanding in terms of knowledge, organization, and kindness to all. They both had great senses of humor and humanity. The shipboard staff ...

We did the Viking River Cruise in China in late October and early November. It rained quite a bit of the time but that in no way dampened our enthusiasm for the trip or the way we were treated by the wonderful guide staff and crew. First and foremost, thanks to "Larry", our expert guide, there was never a moment of concern or anxiety in what could have been a rather stressful environment. We ...

Our China trip started in Beijing and ended in Shanghai, touring the sites in Beijing from the Forbidden City, Tienanmen square, The Great Wall etc. was amazing. On to Xian to see the Terracotta Warriors a dream come true, something I had wanted to see since first reading about them. We boarded the cruise ship in Chongquing. Facilities on board were very comfortable, the personnel ...

This was an excellent experience for our first trip to China. Fantastic itinerary, great hotels, awesome cruise. Great service all around. In an overwhelming country with so much to see, Viking helped us to focus on the must sees. Right from picking us up at the airport and adding an extra excursion for those of us arriving a day early, we realized that this would be something special. The land ...
