Viking River Cruises in China

A cruise along the Yangtze River is one of the highlights of any journey to China. Viking cruise program directors and cruise ships make it easy and enjoyable to see the heartland of a nation that can otherwise be a challenging destination to navigate. Viking River Cruises guests enjoy the comfort and convenience of being escorted by our deeply experienced staff from the moment of arrival in China through departure. Viking River Cruises offers several exciting itineraries in China, all of which show guests the highlights of Beijing, Shanghai and Xian (including the Terra Cotta Warriors) and include a Yangtze River cruise. The river cruise portion of the journey travels through the spectacular Three Gorges region on a sumptuous cruise ship with all balcony staterooms; one of our itineraries takes you farther along the river to see the birthplaces of Chinese silk and porcelain and much more. All cruise travelers also have the chance to visit a school near the Yangtze River and meet the children—a highlight for many people. A Viking cruise takes visitors on fascinating excursions off the river as well, with fully escorted land tours of major attractions in China including the Forbidden City, Summer Palace and the Great Wall. Cultural activities, such as a dramatic performance of selected Peking Opera highlights, a Tang Dynasty dinner show and a breathtaking Chinese acrobatic show, are unique opportunities to experience the true heart of China. Choose the cruise tour itinerary that most interests you: see Chinas cultural delights on a longer Yangtze cruise, or take three days at the roof of the world, Lhasa, Tibet.

Promotional videos can be misleading but having taken this cruise most recently I can say that this videos gives quite an accurate description. Expensive but worth every penny!
