Take a fresh look at Hong Kong

Hong Kong has been long known as a travel and shopping destination. This year, see it differently – from the luxury of a cruise ship. With the new Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, the city’s strategic location makes it a perfect hub for cruises to Asia’s most exotic destinations.

Situated on the doorstep of Southern China, it is in close proximity to Taiwan and other Asian destinations such as Japan and Vietnam.

And then of course, the shops don’t go anywhere, else step off for a shore excursion for some family entertainment at one of the famous theme parks or simply take in the breathtaking views from the towering sky100 Hong Kong Observation Deck.
