Hong Kong is much more than a harbour city with crowded streets: this territory with its cloudy mountains and rocky islands also offers rural landscapes with breathtaking views. The population is mainly Chinese, but British influence is still quite visible. Hong Kong is a global financial hub, and has been a major destination for tourists and business people from around the world for at least a century. Today it is also a major tourism destination for mainland China’s increasingly affluent population.
Hong Kong has a humid subtropical climate. Summers are usually hot and humid, lasting from June to September, with average highs of 32 °C (90 °F) and lows of 27 °C (81 °F). Winters in Hong Kong are generally very mild, with temperatures usually in the range 10–20 °C (50–68 °F).
There are 2 cruise ship terminals in Hong Kong. Most cruise ships now use Kai Tak.
Ocean Terminalis the old cruise ship terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is well connected to public transportation and shopping malls.
Kai Tak Cruise Terminal is a newer terminal that opened on the site of the former Kai Tak Airport runway. The terminal supports two large ship berths. Known to be notoriously deserted with few shops, the terminal has limited access to public transportation, although there are free shuttle services to nearby shopping and public transportation when cruise ships arrive.

Please Note – when booking a private excursion that is not operated by the cruise line it is your responsibility to ensure that you are back in port in good time for the ‘All Aboard’ time. We suggest allowing at least 1 hour after your ships arrival in port to allow for immigration clearances and plan to be back in port at least 1 hour before ‘All Aboard’ time to allow for any traffic issues etc on your return journey.
Extended Stay Options in Hong Kong
Looking for a pre or post cruise hotel in Hong Kong?
We carefully select a small selection of hotels which are close to the cruise terminal but we recognise that some guests may prefer closer to the city so we offer both options to make it easy for guests to find the best hotel that fits the preferred location and budget.
Please note the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal has no hotels that are really on the doorstep.
