Program details

Enjoy a leisurely midweek cruise through Hong Kong's world famous Victoria Harbour from the comfort and ambience of a Chinese-style tour boat. Departing every Wednesday afternoon, this cruise is a great opportunity to take in the awe-inspiring splendour of the city's beloved skyline, while feeling the pulse, vibrancy and dynamic energy of the destination known as 'Asia's World City'.

You'll sail past some of Hong Kong's best-known landmarks and architectural highlights, including the International Commerce Centre, and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, along with HSBC Headquarters and the impressive Bank of China Tower.

Glide to West Kowloon to encounter the Yaumati Typhoon Shelter, a major anchorage site for fishing trawlers and tug boats. Further along you'll find Stonecutters Island, a former Royal Navy base.

The direct translation of the name 'Hong Kong' is 'the fragrant harbour'. Learn a number of other interesting facts about this important city and its superb deep-water harbour, which offers a safe haven for ships from afar and boats commuting through the Pearl River delta region.

Sailing further west, see the spectacular new Stonecutters Bridge, the second-longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, linking the city to the new Hong Kong International Airport. Beneath the bridge lies Kwai Chung Container Port, the third largest in the world. Enjoy a close-up view of Hong Kong's bustling port facilities including major cargo handling for container ship and riverboats.

Awaken your spirit with this plethora of fascinating sights and discoveries, yours to uncover with this midweek harbour cruise.
