| Spotlight on Hong Kong

Hong Kong has long been seen as
the centre of the world, a hub for
global aviation and now is rapidly
growing as a cruise port.
A perfect embarkation or
disembarkation port for an Asia fly/
cruise holiday, Hong Kong is a vibrant
city that is sure to have you looking to
return time and again.
Hong Kong offers a magnificent
Harbour that has been a focal point of
development through the years and is
surrounded by a stunning landscape.
Cruise ships currently berth at Hong
Kong’s “Ocean Terminal”, located in
the heart of the city (not unlike
Sydney) and forms part of a three
story complex with over 700 retail
stores and 50 restaurants!
To complement the existing
terminal, construction is well under
way for a new world class cruise
terminal on the old Kai Tak airport site.
The new facility is planned to open in
mid-2013 and will have the capacity to
berth two ships up to 220,000 GRT at
the same time – just imagine Oasis of
the Seas on one side and Allure of the
Seas directly opposite!
The new cruise terminal is located on
the East Kowloon waterfront and
commands spectacular views of
Victoria Harbour.
It is also within easy reach of a
number of fascinating local attractions
and just a ten minute walk away is the
Festival Walk shopping complex –
home to many of the world’s bestknown
brands.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board is a
proud supporter of our cruise industry.
