Outer Islands Explorer

Hong Kong's outer islands each carry their own distinct character, and the Outer Islands Explorer is the one cruise that brings all three of the highly compelling ones together in a single extended journey. Departing from Central, this multi-stop voyage calls at Cheung Chau, Peng Chau, and Lamma Island in succession, allowing passengers to step ashore, absorb the atmosphere, and return to the vessel before moving on to the next destination. Cheung Chau offers narrow lanes, temple incense, and a fishing harbor that has operated for centuries.

Peng Chau is quieter still, a village island where bicycles outnumber cars and the pace of life has changed very little over the decades. Lamma rounds off the journey with its seafood waterfront and relaxed international character. Together, the three islands paint a portrait of a Hong Kong that exists well beyond the skyline.
