Cuisine & Dining
Savouring local cuisine is an important part of any travel experience and a great way to discover local culture. But while in China, the prospect of the unknown, or day after day of fried rice, is enough to discourage even the most intrepid traveller. But Viking River Cruises has the perfect solution.
A blend of East meets West.
As with all facets of your holiday, Viking River Cruises make sure your dining experience is one to remember. Onboard, your meals are overseen by their Swiss catering department and alternate between Chinese and Western entrées. Enjoy local cuisine, or order delicately grilled chicken or tender steak, which are always on the menu.
Onboard lunches offer Western food choices, plus a selection of Chinese options, for which celebrity chef Martin Yan created the exclusive onboard Chinese menus.
For meals ashore, enjoy a premium Western-style breakfast buffet in your hotel. Lunch is a light local fare, and dinners are world-class regional specialties at hand-selected local restaurants.
For a special treat, you can also sample some of Asia’s finest regional specialties. In Beijing, savour delectable Peking Duck. Dine at a sumptuous Tang Dynasty banquet in Xian. Enjoy China’s wide variety of famous dumplings: steamed, fried or baked and in Tibet, enjoy traditional Tibetan tea, hosted by a local family.
