Yangtze River cruises

In its third year in China, Viking River Cruises is swapping ships on its Yangtze River cruise tour series, adding a third ship while pulling out its earliest entry. Joining its twin sister ship, the Viking Century Sky, is the 306-passenger Viking Century Sun, which is replacing the 186-passenger Viking Century Star. According to Viking, the Star is being returned to the shipbuilder. For 2006, the company will offer four Yangtze itineraries, varying from nine to 15 nights in length; departures run from March through November.
