On Viking China Cruises, your meals are prepared by both European and Chinese chefs, and Viking Swiss hotel management oversees your dining experience. Breakfast is typically a buffet featuring fresh fruit, juices, pastries, eggs, cheeses and cold cuts or cereal; you can also order from featured "hot selections" of the day. In China, you’ll have Western-style lunches and dinners as well as family-style Chinese menus designed by celebrity chef Martin Yan. Steak, chicken, and Caesar salad are also always available.
Mr. Yan has decades of experience in preparing Eastern cuisine for Western audiences, and he has created four distinctive family-style meals, each comprised of eight dishes that highlight a variety of regional Chinese tastes. On the Viking Yangtze River cruises, the Chinese meals are alternated with Western-style meals, including an on-deck barbecue. Mr. Yan is also training the onboard Viking River Cruises' chefs in the essentials of top-quality cuisine. The Viking Century Sky and Century Sun have the only "Western" kitchen on the Yangtze, which includes a dishwasher and other quality control elements that will help ensure that the kitchen on the Viking Century Sky and Century Sun will meet the high standards of the company's European ships.
I have special dietary needs; what should I do?
If you wish a special diet such as vegetarian, low-salt or low-cholesterol, please inform us prior to departure and also be sure to inform your Maitre d’Hôtel onboard. Our chefs will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate your special dietary requests.
Can I sit where I want in the onboard restaurant?
All Viking China ships are open-seating, meaning you may sit where you like. Viking do not accept table reservations so that you’re free to meet other passengers and make new friends.
