Traveling to China with Viking River Cruises was an excellent experience. We chose to begin our tour in shanghai and conclude it in Beijing. We typically plan our own trips, but felt that taking on a trip to China required more resources and so we booked with Viking River Tours. We were able to see sights on this tour that would have been very difficult to plan independently.
From start to ...
Always intrigued by the Viking River Cruise commercials on Downton Abbey. When we received a brochure for the City of Lights, who could resist a Viking River Cruise sandwiched between Prague and Paris? We decided to do it up right and reserved the Explorer Suite. We were always treated to first class service and had many amenities that went with the suite. We thought it was definitely worth the ...
This was our 30th Anniversary and we wanted to make it special. We have long thought about river cruises. I researched 5 different companies and then worked with my travel agent. Her suggestion was a Viking Cruise. I was skeptical about taking the Cities of Light Cruise & going to Prague, but she found a great deal.
We have been on a few ocean cruises with different companies and I think Viking ...
Wonderful experience! The tours guides were knowledgeable on all subject matter related to the country and made the transportation transfers effortless for us. They made everyone feel welcome and special. We arrived a day late because of Airline problems and were worried about being met and what we would have to do to rejoin the tour. When we arrive in Beijing we were greeted by a guide who ...
We have sailed with Viking before and were very happy with our previous trip. The Viking experience exceeded every expectation. I cannot say enough about the staff on board--professional, helpful, friendly, talented. We enjoyed every minute of our trip. Our cruise was in the middle of a cruise/tour, starting in Shanghai and ending in Beijing. We saw beautiful parts of the country; experienced ...
My 15 year old granddaughter and I planned a trip between middle and high-school. Our original intent was the European river cruise, however, because of terror attacks in Europe, we chose the only other cruise that would fit our schedule, China. What a wonderful change it was!
Emma was the youngest person on the cruise by far. Everyone, staff and guests, were all very gracious. Our guide ...
We like to see places. With the tour in every port and the river cruising during daylight, our needs were greatly satisfied. The scenery along the rivers was spectacular, and the cities on the tours were unique, historical and very interesting.
The accommodations were excellent, but the on-board activities were very limited. We would have liked to have seen more and better entertainment, and an ...
This was our first river cruise with Viking, and it couldn't have been a better experience. We were met at the airport by our Viking representative and taken to our hotel in Paris. From that point on we were taken care of completely. At all times at our hotels in Paris and Prague, there was a Viking representative available to assist with booking tours or just giving directions. The Odin was ...
We loved this trip from start to finish. When we arrived in Beijing we were met by the tour guide and quickly on our way to the hotel. They were with us all of the way to the last stop. All of the hotels were unbelievable and the check in was so easy. It was nice to not have to worry about luggage etc. and always quickly get to our room. Our tour guide (Geo) was very knowledgeable about where ...
This was my first Viking experience. The service and attention to detail was exceptional. I did not worry about handling my luggage or transfers. There were enough activities to keep you busy if you wanted to do something and also enough space to relax on enjoy the cruise experience. The was an extensive variety in gourmet food selection with every meal. The river boat is an older model with ...
