Star Ferry: make a harbour crossing part of the day

Transport with a view

A Star Ferry crossing is an easy way to experience Victoria Harbour while moving between sightseeing areas. It works especially well when one side of the harbour is already part of your next stop. Think of it as a useful journey with a memorable view, rather than automatically buying a longer sightseeing cruise.

Choose the correct pier and service

Check the route and pier before joining a queue. Regular cross-harbour services and sightseeing cruises have different routes, durations and ticket conditions. Build a little time into your schedule for boarding, and keep your payment method ready so you can follow the queue without searching through bags.

On board

Let other passengers pass and avoid blocking gangways for photographs. Conditions can feel breezier on the water than on land. Travellers with mobility needs should confirm the most suitable boarding arrangements and deck access before choosing a service. For a timed appointment after the crossing, allow for waiting and the walk from the arrival pier, not just the sailing itself.
