We chose Viking for our China visit as we knew they'd take good care of us in a country where we don't speak the language and can't read the signs - and they did. From the time we stepped off the plane to the time we checked back in for the trip home, we were very well cared-for.

Viking assigns you to a group of about 30 who stays together with one guide the entire trip, so you get to know this group very well and still have the fun of meeting others. All of the guides are terrific, not only telling you about everything you see but also candidly sharing a lot about their personal lives and what everyday life is like in China - fascinating!

Cabin Review

Cabin B- Veranda stateroom

Cabins are what you expect from Viking on a river cruise - nice, with everything you need. We had a bit of a problem with our air conditioning never really cooling beyond a comfortable 72 degrees - ok, but we like it colder when we sleep. I think this was just our cabin as others reported no problems. Balconies are just large enough for two to sit outside with a cup of coffee and a book, bathrooms are as advertised. Good steward service.
