For over a century, the green-and-white Star Ferries have been the heartbeat of Hong Kong’s harbour. The National Geographic Traveler once named a Star Ferry cruise one of the “50 Places of a Lifetime” — and once you step aboard, you’ll understand why. Today, two special vessels carry this legacy into the modern era: the World Star (世星号) and the Shining Star (辉星号). The Shining Star is a beautifully re-created version of the Star Ferries from the 1920s — a nostalgic journey that transports you back to the golden age of Hong Kong’s harbour crossings. The World Star, equally elegant, offers the same timeless experience with spacious decks and modern comforts. Departing from the historic Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier, the 45-minute cruise takes you on a circular journey through Victoria Harbour. The route passes some of Hong Kong’s most iconic landmarks — the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, the East Coast Park Precinct, the West Kowloon Cultural District with its striking M+ Museum, and the towering International Commerce Centre. From the water, Hong Kong’s world-famous skyline unfolds like a living postcard. The magic peaks after dark. The 19:45 night cruise is timed perfectly for the “Symphony of Lights” — the world’s largest permanent light and sound show, where over 40 buildings on both sides of the harbour become part of a synchronized laser, LED, and music spectacle. On board, you can choose between the air-conditioned indoor saloon or the open-air deck, feeling the sea breeze as the city’s skyline dances in a symphony of colour. The Shining Star and World Star are not just boats — they are floating time machines, carrying you through the heart of Hong Kong’s past and present in one unforgettable 45-minute voyage.
