Paul – United Kingdom

Going for the trip at sunset was magical. I imagine that going earlier or later would be a very different experience. A few things to be aware of; the seating is very basic so may not work if you have mobility issues, the drinks are either beer or soft drinks. Lastly make sure you're ready early! We left a couple of minutes ahead of schedule and one unlucky lady got left behind

Robert – United Kingdom

Sadly I can’t comment on the comfort of the vessel, the support of the crew, or the overall enjoyment of the Cruz, as having tried and failed for 45 minutes to hail a taxi on the island we made it to the key side just in time to see duckling slipping her lines and moving majestic into the middle of Victoria Harbour. What I can comment on however is the promptness of her departure (definitely get there in good time), and the fine spectacle she made set against the skyline of Hong Kong. Maybe next time we’ll make it on board…

Meeting point

Please wait by the shore in front of Starbucks and Wildfire Pizzabar at the Avenue of Stars, Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, Tsim Sha Tsui East. The Pier you will board on Dukling is right outside these 2 restaurants where you will find a flight of stairs leading down to the sea. (Please ensure you do not mistakenly go to the Public Pier near Star Ferry and Cultural Centre, as we do not pick up guests from there. If you were there, it would take 10-15 minutes walk from that Pier to Dukling's Embark point at the Tsim Sha Tsui East Pier at the Avenue of Stars) Approximately 10 minutes before your tour's departure, you will spot Dukling heading towards the pier. Our crew members will come ashore to welcome assist you in boarding Dukling. While waiting for Dukling, please do not join the large queue of people by the shore, as they are tour groups waiting for other boats and ferries.
