Multi-Destination Travel

No port offers visitors more inviting ways to begin or extend a truly memorable vacation than Hong Kong. Excursions range from a selection of regional cruises and overland tours, to itineraries that explore various places on the Mainland such as the provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi or the cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Shandong. You can even venture further afield to the exotic island of Hainan, the “Hawaii” of China. These enchanting destinations provide a fascinating contrast, and each offers a unique cultural experience.

Cruise Terminal Facilities

Located in the heart Tsim Sha Tsui, Ocean Terminal is where you will find most cruise vessels berthed. Travellers can immediately disembark into Asia' most vibrant, cosmopolitan and intriguing city. As part of the Harbour City complex, the three-storey terminal building provides instant access to over 700 retail shops, 50 restaurants, two cinemas and three hotels.

Building for the future

To complement Ocean Terminal, plans are in hand to develop a world-class cruise terminal on the site of the former Kai Tak runway. The new terminal will be able to handle the simultaneous berthing of two mega cruise vessels with gross tonnage up to 220,000 tons.
