Significantly larger than its European counterparts, the Viking Emerald is most distinctive in its itineraries, which trawl the Yangtze River in China, and occasionally take to the land to explore cultural landmarks further afield. These amphibious land-cruises are deftly arranged by Viking, at no added headache to passengers, and of course, staff are eager to help wherever possible.
