Viking Yi Dun Cruises

Formerly Viking Sun, in 2024 she was transformed into Viking Yi Dun for Viking's historic return to China. Offering trips that blend both Eastern and Western cultures, Yi Dun is perfect for English-speaking guests wishing to experience China in luxury.

Viking’s all-inclusive cruises mean guests are freed from concern about additional costs. The ship, while not the destination, provides a super level of luxury, and on shore the focus is on the food, culture, and customs of ports. Expand your horizons on this comfortable, award-winning ship, intimate and thoughtfully created by experienced nautical architects and designers to enrich your interaction with your destination in every way.

The ship docks close to port towns and cities, and with a maximum of 930 guests, lost time waiting for shore excursions is minimal. The Norwegian heritage of the ship is evident with the light wood grains throughout that show their natural beauty. Colorful textiles such as rugs and tapestries recall the patterns of early Norwegian artists and craftsmen. Subtle accents of leather handrails and touches of slate and teak express warmth and character.

    Of the 10 dining venues, The Restaurant seats 284 and serves three full meals that change daily. All restaurants (except Manfredi's and The Chef's Table) feature a Chinese menu; items are clearly described so diners can decide if this would be something that they would like to try. Beer and wine are included at all meals. The glassed-in dining room opens to the promenade and views of passing scenery.

    There are three alternative restaurants.

    At Manfredi’s Italian, enjoy chianti by the carafe, freshly prepared pastas, and generous antipasto accompanied by fresh seafood. At The Chef’s Table, sommeliers and culinary masters create the perfect pairing of food and wine during a multi-course tasting. World Cafe has open kitchens and buffet-style meal service, with deli, pasta, and wok stations, a sushi bar, and dessert choices. Dine inside or al fresco on the Aquavit Terrace. For breakfast, try Mamsen in the Explorer's Lounge, with Norwegian specialities. For casual dining, try lighter meals at the Pool Grill. Each afternoon the very English Wintergarden provides tea and pastries, backed by the strains of a string quartet. Twenty-four-hour room service offers everything from breakfast to signature dishes. There's an on-board cooking school for guests who wish to learn how to prepare local specialities.

    Viking Yi Dun's signature bar, 1872, is inspired by the history of the China Merchants Group, a shipping company whose origins date back to 1872. This distinctive bar is the perfect after-dinner venue, serving Chinese wines and original cocktails prepared with regional spirits. 

    The higher-deck forward-viewing Explorers' Lounge features floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows and a Nordic atmosphere designed with epic explorations in mind. Share a cocktail with friends.

    Linger over a Norwegian breakfast and a nautical history book. The Explorers’ Lounge and Mamsen’s gourmet deli are thoughtful spaces located at the bow of the ship and designed to represent the Scandinavian spirit for complete relaxation and for marvelling at sweeping views through double-height windows. The Atrium is a social centre with live music, drinks, conversation, and private reading.

    Destination Performances represent the most iconic cultural performing arts of the region—whether it be Italian opera or Portuguese fado. Resident classical musicians—pianists, guitarists, violinists, and flautists—perform classical compositions throughout the ships. And culinary classes in The Kitchen Table, Viking’s onboard cooking school, focus on regional cuisine. Onshore ventures have been specially selected, with at least one excursion complimentary for each guest at every port. On board you'll have a wide selection of tabletop board games, lecture presentations, and in-cabin movies.
