Hi! We are heading on this trip August 13, 2014. So starting to think about our Visas as Viking says since we are going to Tibet we have to have a copy of our Chinese visas sent to them no later than 60 days before trip.

Just wondering if anyone out there is in the same place, or has done this. We are Canadian (Calgary) and are planning on going to the Chinese visa office downtown.

Any advice or experiences anyone can offer.

Thanks

Karen

That is great thanks. I was hoping that they wouldn't route through the states or something wacky like that. Of course that being said I know that each trip is different. It is quite a while away so we aren't sure if we will do our own flights or not.

We are planning on booking the Roof of the World for 2014 trip. Just curious if anyone from Canada (preferably Western Canada) has used Vikings air option and which route they sent you.

Thank you both for the answers. The information really helps alot. Regarding the visas. I noticed that the information on the Viking website was I think only for people from the USA. Wondering if any Canadians have dealt with the visas.

Hello all. We are getting ready to book well in advance for the "Roof of the World" trip in August 2014. First river cruise/tour. Couple of questions. (okay 3 questions)

1. Anyone had any issues paying full in advance? I see that if you cancel 120 days in advance you get refund less $100 or so.

2. We were looking at a junior suite but really for the extra $1500 or so per person and the cruise being only 6 days is it really "worth it"? Other than a bit more space is there any difference from a "regular" room?

3. We are most likely going to book the air also with Viking just to have it all in a package. Off far in advance do they give you your flights? I am assuming for us to go get our visas we will need that information. Also did you need a seperate visa for Tibet? or is just one for China include Tibet?

Thanks. Karen
