Enjoy different perspectives of Hong Kong by visiting characteristic neighborhoods, cruising around a coastal UNESCO geopark and spending an entire day and every evening free to explore the dynamic metropolis on your own.

Day 1

Following disembarkation in Hong Kong, you will drive to Sham Shui Po, an historical textile district that has been transformed into a trendy neighborhood. Fashions are still a mainstay, but shops offering other merchandise, contemporary cafés and enticing street food stalls are now prominent, too.

For a panoramic view of Sham Shui Po and beyond, you will walk to the top of Garden Hill. The views are well worth the 500 concrete steps you must climb to reach the summit. Continuing on, you will visit Mei Ho House, a building that is notable for being the sole remains of an early public-housing project. Now a folkloric museum, it was constructed after a devastating fire in 1953 left tens of thousands of people homeless.

A dim sum lunch in Sham Shui Po follows, after which you will check into the hotel. The remainder of the evening and dinner will be on your own.

Day 2

After breakfast at the hotel, you will depart for Sai Kung, a district known for its lush surroundings, idyllic beaches and the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. A scenic cruise around the islands just offshore will present some of the geopark’s highlights. Unusual geological formations are abundant. They include craggy sea stacks, sea caves and volcanic hexagonal rock columns, which you will observe on High Island.

Disembarking at the island, you will visit Tin Hau, a temple dedicated to its namesake goddess of the sea. The fact that there are more than 70 temples in Hong Kong dedicated to Tin Hau underscores the significance of the goddess.

Back on the pier in Sai Kung, you will enjoy lunch at a waterfront restaurant before returning to the hotel. The remainder of the evening and dinner will be on your own.

Day 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, the remainder of the day will be at your leisure with meals on your own. Feel free to simply relax, walk around wherever you please or you might contact the hotel’s hospitality desk staff for suggestions on how to spend your day in Hong Kong. Possibilities include shopping in Stanley Market, cruising the harbor in a Chinese junk, taking in the views from the soaring Sky100 observation deck and riding the Peak Tram to the highest point on Hong Kong Island.

Day 4

After breakfast and check out at the hotel, you will be transferred to the Hong Kong International Airport per the flight details received. If your flight departs late in the day, luggage storage is available at the hotel or you may wish to book an extra night so that you can keep the room until your transfer, as check-out is noon.

Special Notes: Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

Please also review the documentation section below as a single or multiple entry Chinese Visa is required for this program and will depend on how many Chinese ports are visited on your cruise.

Day 1

Disembark the ship and transfer to the airport for your flight to Xi’an. Upon arriving in Xi’an and passing through immigration, customs and baggage claim, you will start your tour with a visit to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. One of China’s most revered pagodas, it was built in 652 A.D. to house the sutras and figurines of Buddha that a Chinese monk brought to Xi’an. The building was eventually expanded to ten stories, although only seven stories remain, as the others were damaged in various wars. Nevertheless, the pagoda is recognized as a symbol of Xi’an.

Next you will travel to the nearby Defachang Restaurant, popularly known for its dumplings. Carefully hand-prepared, the dumplings are available in dozens of different shapes and colors and filled with a variety of local ingredients. You can expect the meal to be wonderfully traditional. After dinner, you will drive back to the hotel to spend the evening.

Following dinner, proceed to the Shangri La Xi’an (or similar hotel) for check in.

Day 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will drive to the Terracotta Warriors Museum, a repository for thousands of clay soldiers that were buried with China’s first emperor to accompany him in his eternal rest. Considered one of the world’s greatest archaeological treasures, the 7,000 life-size terracotta warriors and horses were buried for centuries until excavated in 1974.

The warriors are grouped in battle order, rank by rank, some mounted on horse-drawn chariots and others in infantry groups armed with spears, swords and crossbows. Each figure was individually created with unique characteristics.

Following the tour and a traditional Chinese lunch at a nearby restaurant, you will explore the Muslim Quarter and its Grand Mosque. Muslims have lived in the quarter for more than 1,000 years ago, beginning with the merchants from Arabic countries that settled at this terminus of the Silk Road. The Grand Mosque is particularly fascinating, as it reflects traditional Chinese and Muslim styles.

After visiting the mosque, you will return to the hotel to freshen up before driving to the Tang Dynasty Theatre for dinner and a cultural performance. The costumed show features ancient music, poetry, singing and dance, some of which were developed as parts of ritual prayers for a good harvest. Following the lively performance, you will return to the hotel to spend the evening.

Day 3

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will visit the Shaanxi History Museum. Inside, seemingly countless exhibits depict the history of China from prehistoric times to the mid-19th Century. It offers an enlightening overview of the country, with a particular emphasis on the Shaanxi Province.

Then, it’s on to a traditional hot pot restaurant for lunch, before driving to the airport for the flight back to Hong Kong. Upon arriving in Hong Kong, you will be transferred to your hotel for the evening. Dinner is on your own.

Day 4

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel. Check out time is at 12:00pm. You will be transferred to the Hong Kong International Airport based on your flight details. Should you have a late flight, luggage storage will be available at the hotel until your transfer time.

Gain a deeper understanding of Hong Kong’s culture and traditions by visiting key attractions such as Stanley Market and the Central District, riding a tram to Victoria Peak and cruising through a fishing village by sampan.

Day 1

Disembark the ship and proceed to Hong Kong Island. For the ultimate view of the surroundings, you will ride the tram up to Victoria Peak. The world’s steepest funicular railway, the Peak Tram opened in 1888 and has been providing spectacular panoramas ever since. As you ascend, you may notice that the steep slope causes an optical illusion in which the skyscrapers seem to be standing at impossible angles.

After pausing for photos at the peak, you will drive on to Aberdeen fishing village and board a sampan boat. While on the water, you can expect to see fishing boats, Chinese junks and villagers doing chores. The experience offers a candid look into daily life, as does your next stop—a tour of a gem factory where you will learn how the craftsmen process the stones for sale or to be set into jewelry.

Then following lunch, it’s on to vibrant Stanley Market, a highly popular shopping destination for merchandise such as silk garments, Chinese costume jewelry and art. As an alternative in Stanley, you might explore Tin Hau Temple, which once stood at the edge of the sea, and the Murray House, an early 19th-Century building that was moved from its original site to the seaside.

Your next destination is Victoria Harbor. Board the renowned Star Ferry for a scenic cruise where you will experience the rhythm and vitality of the city from the water while enjoying the magnificent views offered by the Hong Kong skyline. Disembark and stroll along the Avenue of Stars which wraps around the waterfront. After viewing some of the icons of Hong Kong you will return to your hotel where the remainder of the evening is at your leisure. Dinner is on your own.

Day 2

After breakfast at the hotel, you will depart for Tung Chung, a city on Lantau, Hong Kong’s largest island. The landscape is lush and mountainous, and you will enjoy a wonderful view of it while riding a cable car to Ngong Ping village.

Nearby, you will find Po Lin Monastery. Once a rather remote monastery, it gained prominence in 1993, when a Big Buddha statue was erected here. More than 100 feet high, it attracts pilgrims from all over Asia. Be sure to have your camera ready for photos of the iconic Buddha.

After a vegetarian lunch at the monastery, you will explore Ngong Ping village on your own. The large Buddha here is also impressive, as is the teahouse with its intricate architectural carvings and curved roof.

In time, you will return to Tung Chung and on the hotel to enjoy the remainder of the day and evening on your own. Dinner is on your own.

Day 3

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel and then a day at leisure to explore the sights on your own or simply relax and enjoy the amenities of the hotel.

Kowloon Shangri-La, Hong Kong, sits in the famous shopping and entertainment district of Tsim Sha Tsui East. The moment you step out, your adventure begins!

Lunch and dinner are on your own.
