About Kai Tak Cruise Terminal
Lobring ted at the former Kai Tak Airport Runway, this sparkling facility is one of the world’s foremost cruise terminals. Designed by Foster + Partners, the three-storey building has been described by Departures as “the Rolls-Royce of Cruise Terminals”. It features light-filled passenger and service areas, efficient passenger circulation between drops-offs, waiting halls, concourse, jaw-dropping views of Victoria Harbour and an impressive slew of amenities.
The terminal will be able to accommodate two mega cruise ships with a gross tonnage of up to 220,000 tons when fully commissioned.
Attractions nearby include the sublimely elegant Chi Lin Nunnery, a stunning complex renovated to provide a breathtaking example of Tang dynasty architecture and the famed Lei Yue Mun seafood bazaar.
