Hong Kong sees strong comeback in international cruise calls

Hong Kong’s tourism board has announced its “return to its position as Asia’s cruise hub”, following 160 ship calls from 16 cruise lines so far in 2023.

For the first quarter of the year, visitor arrivals to Hong Kong are at about 30% for the year of average figures pre-pandemic, bringing it roughly in line with those figures.

New developments in Hong Kong include the new Hong Kong Palace Museum in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District and M+ - Asia’s “first truly global museum of contemporary visual culture”.

“This recovery signifies tremendous confidence in the destination by the cruise industry and their guests seeking a return to a favourite destination they can enjoy by land and sea,” said Hong Kong Tourism Board’s MICE & Cruise general manager, Kenneth Wong.

“Hong Kong is an amazing setting for cruise guests to fully explore the region during pre and post-cruise stays.”
