Hong Kong dazzles with its skyline, harbour, markets and food. Ride the Star Ferry, take the Peak Tram to Victoria Peak and eat your way through dim sum. Ships dock at Kai Tak or, for smaller vessels, Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Kai Tak Cruise Terminal sits on the old airport runway, away from the MTR; Ocean Terminal is right in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Kai Tak needs a taxi or shuttle to the nearest MTR; Ocean Terminal is walkable to the Star Ferry.
Works on MTR, ferries, trams and in shops.
Star Ferry to Central, the Peak Tram to Victoria Peak, markets in Mong Kok.

Victoria Peak, the Star Ferry and the glittering harbour skyline.
Hong Kong offers detailed museum and railway access information, but the correct station exit and cruise terminal transfer are essential to a workable itinerary.
Published sources reviewed October 17, 2026. This is desk research, not an on-site access audit. Access can change with the ship, berth, equipment and operating conditions.
Lifts and toilets on every floor
The museum documents wheelchair-accessible lifts connecting all floors, accessible toilets, induction loops at service desks and first-come manual-wheelchair loans. Reserve any essential equipment separately instead of assuming a loan is available.
Use the specified accessible exit
MTR's Central station listing identifies Exit A's unpaid-area lift, paid-area lifts, wide gates and portable ramps. This does not mean every street exit is step-free; check each station and lift works for the actual journey.
Planning suggestion: Combine a confirmed terminal transfer with the Palace Museum, using public transport only after checking both stations and street connections.
