Beijing Cruise Reviews

We stayed the night before departure at The Sheraton Tianjin however it would have been just as easy to catch a bullet train and taxi from Beijing to the Tianjin International Cruise Terminal. Unfortunately the cruise ship was late to arrive due to morning weather conditions and the masses waiting to board were left in line without any announcement as to the issue. Once on board all troubles ...

This was a lifetime opportunity for my wife and I to personally visit some many wonderful places which are so different than any where else in the world , that had so much significance. Every day was filled with new and exciting experiences. This trip was first class in every way, from the pre cruise documentation, to the greeting at the airport to the wonderful English speaking tour guide. ...

The objective of this trip (both cruise and land portion) was to experience the highlights of China. We organized this particular trip in conjunction with a trip to Hong Kong and Japan. The trip was excellent. The organization was phenominal. There were 4-5 flights within China, hotel accomodations, plus the river portion. Each portion of the trip went without a hitch, which in my opinion ...

This was our 3rd cruise on the Spirit. The first was for an anniversary 10 years ago - October 2006. We have made Oct 2016-Oct 2017 and anniversary year. The cruise was from Hong Kong to Beijing with stops in Japan and Korea. We had booked our own Air to Hong Kong but had problems finding a reasonable Business Class fare for the return. We checked with Regent and they were able to come up ...

Wonderful way to tour a foreign country. Always felt safe and cared for. Our guide was generous with his time and knowledge. He gave us a new understanding of China. The crew kept us happy, we'll fed and entertained. The ship was always clean and tidy. Hotels were excellent. We started our trip with a pre extension in Korea. We were the only couple on that part of our trip and had ...

First river cruise and first time with Viking. Trip was great. Be prepared to move along quickly; lots of walking. Staff on ship were wonderful; cruise through the Three Gorges area was awesome. Had a great tour guide that stayed with us the entire trip. His knowledge and willingness to talk about the culture and history added to much to the whole experience. Would love to go to China again. Food ...

First time with Viking and wanted to be fully escorted on our first trip to China. Heard great things about Viking in China and it did not disappoint. Viking took care of us from the moment we landed in Beijing until we flew home from Shanghai. Ship did not have a lot of entertainment but we were tired each day from our tours so it did not matter. Staff on the ship remembered our names ...

This was our second Viking River Cruise. The hotels for our pre and post cruise were excellent, the activities were well managed and our guide was better than we could have ever expected. The Viking Emerald was a very comfortable boat, the cabins were good and comfortable., the food was delicious, well served by an attentive staff. The hotel staff was very efficient and saw to all our ...

Excellent Viking land/river cruise 13 day trip. Beijing/Xian/River Cruise/Shanghai. Included 3 in China flights and 3 hotel stays along with the 6 night cruise. Everything went perfect. Flights were very organized. This included 3 interior China flights. Hotels were 5 star especially the Kerry in Beijing. Nicest hotel we have ever been in. Day tours were organized and informative. Just use your ...

I needed to be in China anyway, so we looked at organized travel options to help us find our way around in a very different culture. Viking's Imperial Jewels Of China not only looked like it covered things we really wanted to see, but the dates meshed perfectly with our existing plans. Only parts of this cruise were actually on the Yangtze river, since it also included sights such as the Great ...
