The antique sailboat Dukling transforms into a mobile museum, taking everyone to experience a different side of Hong Kong through various routes~
The Dukling, now offering Victoria Harbour cruises, is a traditional Chinese three-masted sailboat with nearly 70 years of history, previously used by fishermen for fishing and daily life. Since Hong Kong was once a small fishing village, sailboats hold an irreplaceable place in the history of Hong Kong's development. Consequently, the Dukling, as the only antique sailboat still regularly in service, has naturally become an iconic symbol of Hong Kong.
Today, the Dukling has been transformed into a sightseeing cruise ship sailing through Victoria Harbour. The approximately 45-minute Victoria Harbour cruise allows you to take in panoramic views of the skylines on both sides of the harbor!
Enjoy the Victoria Harbour sunset on board and witness the sunset illuminating the brilliant night views of the "Pearl of the Orient." Choose the 19:30 departure to also enjoy the "A Symphony of Lights" multimedia light show.
Through guided tours and voice broadcasts, passengers can gain a deeper understanding of Hong Kong's history and fisherman culture.
