Hong Kong cruise around TST area
Posted: Fri July 18, 2008 12:47 PM UTC
When I was a child, I remember my family took a 1-hr or something cruise around the waters of TST. I wonder if they still offer this kind of service today?

Hi there, yes they do offer the cruise through Star Cruise line which is a part of the Star Ferry system. There is a booth located at the Star Farry Pier terminus in Kowloon where you can book the cruises. There are morning, afternoon and dinner cruises however they should be booked a few days in advance as they are all very popular. You can go to http://www.discoverhongkong.com to find out more.

thanks for the help! At last I found the one I was loking for, the Symphony of Lights Cruise. Does anyone know if I can buy the tickets 2 days in advance only? Because we plan to have the cruise on a Friday, and we'll be arriving at HK on a Wednesday.
