Heather Viking is the #1 Viking travel agent in Travel Leaders Network for verified 5-Star Viking reviews and has just completed the cruise portion of her Epic Asia Executive Retreat with Viking leadership.
She completed shipboard executive training sessions aboard the Viking Yi Dun, including meetings with Viking VP Michele Saegesser, Training Officer Ting Xu, the Captain, Hotel Manager Tokutaro, and the Cruise Director to review guest experience enhancements, Asia program logistics, and new Viking Journey tools.
She has transitioned to Viking's China post-cruise extension in Xi'an, where she is experiencing the Terra Cotta Warriors, staying at either the Grand Hyatt or Wyndham Grand Xi'an South hotel, and participating in Viking-hosted cultural activities.
The extension includes flights between Beijing and Xi'an, a 2-night hotel stay, full-day Terra Cotta Warriors experience, Viking-hosted welcome dinner, Temple of Heaven tour, optional hutong rickshaw ride, and continued journey to the Great Wall of China.
According to Heather, even with real-time translation technology like Google Meta Glasses, Xi'an is not a place you want to navigate alone due to its complexity, making Viking's guidance, timing, expert lecturers, and coordinated logistics essential.
Guests tour Pit 1 (infantry formation), Pit 2 (cavalry and specialized units), Pit 3 (command headquarters), active archaeological labs, and on-site cultural exhibits at the Emperor Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Site Museum.
The press release is dated November 15, 2025, indicating the training and extension activities occurred around this time period.
Heather is documenting cultural nuances, timing strategies, and guest experience enhancements during her study of Viking's Asia programs to help future Viking travelers better understand and prepare for these extraordinary destinations.
The training took place aboard the Viking Yi Dun, which Heather described as 'the heart of Viking's Asia program' due to its warm and precise operations, cultural programming, and crew kindness.
