The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) welcomed the return of Royal Caribbean International's Spectrum of the Seas to Hong Kong for the first time after travel resumed and its announcement to make the city its homeport in 2024.

The HKTB held a ship welcome ceremony at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal on August 4, 2023 featuring a lively lion dance and drums performance. 

The HKTB also handed out souvenirs to cruise passengers arriving in Hong Kong.

With the Government's and HKTB's efforts before and after the pandemic, vessels of 18 cruise lines have been secured to visit Hong Kong this year, with 166 ship calls.

This not only provides visitors with a more prosperous and diversified range of cruise itineraries and experiences but also reflects Hong Kong's readiness to welcome more international cruise ships to the city, thus further consolidating Hong Kong's position as a cruise hub in Asia.
