Sailings that end in Hong Kong

Soonest first. Each starts elsewhere in Asia and finishes here.

About the prices. Each fare is cruise.com’s published “from” price per person for that sailing on the date shown. It is not a quote: cabin category, taxes, fees, flights and availability are confirmed on the cruise line’s or agent’s booking page, and opening a deal page here does not check the supplier’s price for you.

Kai Tak Cruise Terminal

  • What it is: a terminal on the former Kai Tak Airport runway at 33 Shing Fung Road, Kowloon. The first ship berthed on 12 June 2013. It has two berths for ships up to about 360 metres long.[1]
  • Which terminal your ship uses: our fare data says “Hong Kong”, not the terminal. Confirm it on your disembarkation documents.

Getting from the terminal to the city

The Hong Kong Government announced these measures on 8 August 2023, starting 9 August 2023: a free bus, route 22R, between the terminal and Kai Tak MTR Station; three free shuttle routes (to Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier, West Kowloon and Kowloon MTR Station; to Admiralty MTR Station and the Peak Tram Lower Terminus; and to Yim Po Fong Street in Mong Kok); and a HK$50 liquefied-petroleum-gas coupon for each taxi that picks up cruise passengers during disembarkation.[2] The release gave no end dates, and it is more than three years old: ask your cruise line what is running on your date, and do not count on a particular free service.

Typhoon season

Tropical cyclones are possible from May to November, and July to September are the most likely months.[3] Autumn (November and December) is described as the best-weather period.[3]

Passport and entry rules. Visa and arrival-form rules depend on your passport and on each country the ship visits, and they change. We have not verified them for this section: check your own government’s travel advice and each country’s official immigration site before you book.
