Overview

Cruise the Yangtze River on this beautiful, state-of-the-art river cruise vessel built in 2006. Viking Century Sun was the first river cruise ship on the Yangtze ever to have a Western-style kitchen. Accommodating more than 300 guests with full balconies, hotel-style beds in every spacious suite and stateroom and an outstanding crew, this is one of the most sophisticated river ships in the world. The ship’s hotel operations are 100% managed by Viking River Cruises Swiss-trained management team, employing the best and most knowledgeable English-speaking staff.

Sun Deck

Enjoy sunshine and fresh air while you take in 360-degree views of the scenery as you sail through the Yangtze’s stunning Three Gorges region and beyond. Stand at the railings or relax in a comfortable deck chair. The observation deck is covered for those who prefer shade.

Restaurant

The restaurant is where all meals are served during your cruise. It features panoramic windows, so you will not miss any of the scenery while you are dining. It seats all guests at tables which accommodate 8 guests each. The dining room is open seating, so you are free to sit where you like—a great way to make new friends. The atmosphere is casual but elegant, with high-quality table linens, china, cutlery and glassware.

Lotus Bar (Observation Deck)

This spacious bar area, featuring large picture windows and about three dozen small tables with comfortable chairs, is an excellent place to relax over a drink and enjoy conversation or a book while you watch the scenery, or meet up with friends before and after meals.

Conference Room

Located in the midsection of the observation deck, the conference room is available to guests for meetings or private functions by prior arrangement. Talk with your Tour Escort or Program Director.

Library

Located across from the conference room, the library carries approximately 80 books, in various languages but mostly English. There are also games such as chess, backgammon, jigsaw puzzles and playing cards.

Onboard Shopping

Located in the midsection of the middle deck, the onboard boutique offers items to help you enjoy—or remember—your journey. There is an excellent selection of gift items to bring home. Across the way there is an onboard tailor offering custom-made silk jackets and dresses, neckties and other items, usually in less than one day.
