Cosmopolitan Hong Kong

Cosmopolitan Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a beautiful combination of traditional and modern cultures with an East-meets-West flare. Nonstop flights from major U.S. cities to Hong Kong give travelers direct access to the city for both cruise itineraries and extended vacations that are sure to fit every globetrotter’s travel needs!

Endless Sights, Scents and Flavors 
Throughout the city, taste buds are treated to the delicacies of everything from Michelin-star restaurants to roadside vendors offering local favorites such as dim sum. The city’s 1,200 skyscrapers may seem daunting from the streets, but from Victoria Peak, known as the “Back of the Dragon,” the buildings’ lights dazzle in the distance against the night sky.

Shopping in Hong Kong brings senses to life with options that range from luxury malls to street markets, including the popular Jade Market and Flower Market which sell exactly what their names suggest. In a city full of contrast, hiking provides a natural escape from urban exploration, with trails right outside the city leading to remote temples and secluded beaches. Hong Kong’s culture truly comes alive during the city’s festivals including Chinese New Year, Arts Month and the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Cruise Gateway to Asia 
More than 15 cruise lines feature Hong Kong as a port of call, making it a very diverse cruise port. Many of these voyages embark or disembark in Hong Kong, which in large part serves as a gateway to all of Asia’s splendors.

To the north, cruises sail to Japan and South Korea, including Royal Caribbean International’s newly debuted Ovation of the Seas. To the south, both large ocean liners and boutique-style ships sail to Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Singapore. For the ultimate China itinerary, Yangtze River cruise itineraries depart from Hong Kong and combine a river cruise sailing with stops in Beijing to walk along the Great Wall of China and Xi’an to marvel at the Terracotta Army.
