Take the slow boat to China - Savour the rich history and amazing landscapes of the world’s most fascinating country – and travel in unrivalled comfort with Viking River Cruises and British Airways.

There is no other place on earth quite like China. Impossibly huge and fascinatingly diverse, it offers travellers a unique glimpse into a 5,000- year-old past, a dynamic present and an undeniably exciting future.

Viking Emerald – your home from home

A country where ancient temples and palaces share the skyline with high-rises straight from the scenes of a sci-fi movie. Where you can stare into the faces of a 6,000-strong army of Terracotta Warriors and walk along the world’s most famous wall. Where you can visit a Forbidden City and remember the unadulterated joy of staring out across a perfectly silent, natural landscape, untouched by time.

Start your Viking River Cruises holiday with British Airways and you’ll arrive relaxed, refreshed and raring to go

On a Viking river cruise we will show you the most iconic cities, introduce you to the most dramatic landscapes and immerse you in glorious history and traditions. Our guided excursions and enriching on-board talks and demonstrations will take you beyond the sights to give you a greater understanding of this magnificent nation.
