Has anyone taken one? We're thinking about this 19-day cruise/tour. Ship (7 days) is the Viking Emerald.

Good news, it stops here:

Viking has a good reputation within the cruise industry and is consistently ranked high amongst travel publications. You should have a good time with a very capable operator. My parents were on a tour of southern China by Western tour operator several years ago and are looking at returning to do a river cruise.

Am I the only one that was expecting to see pictures of Asians in horned helmets holding axes in this thread?
