Considering Viling China for next year??????

[wantocruisemore]

We have never done a Viking River cruise, but we are interested in China and this cruise/trip looks great. Since I'm not familiar with Viking I'm wondering what some views are and comments.

 

Also, since there is a sale on airfare through Viking, I'm wondering if people have any comments about utilizing Viking air.

Keep in mind that the river cruise is only a part of the whole trip, whether Viking, Unworld, or any of the other river cruise companies. Just to make your life more complicated, there are US-based tour companies operating in China that include a Yangtze river cruise. Basically the same thing as Viking. We used China Spree for our trip to China based on a recommendation from a friend and the trip was fabulous. There were only 6 people in our tour. For details (and lots of photos) you can read my blog, http://www.travelswithelizabeth.com . I've also read good reviews of a company called China Focus. Have fun!

Compare Viking, cost and number of days on tour with Vantage. One of our best trips ever was Vantage's China.

Everything you could conceivably wish to know about the Viking China trip has already been asked and answered many times in this thread:

Have a read there, and post any remaining questions and they'll be answered promptly by one or more of the many happy previous customers.

If you have enjoyed Viking in Europe you will be just as happy with them in China. In fact, we thought they really went above and beyond there.

Go! It's different, but you will not regret it. Also read the China thread on the board. Should answer most of your questions.
