Viking dock in Hong Kong?

Does Viking dock at the Kai Tak cruise terminal in Hong Kong?

Or Ocean Terminal maybe?

Thanks much for this.  

Does that mean "Ocean" is better?  It's about 2km from our hotel, whereas Kai Tak is about 8 in a very roundabout way..

I've read some complaints about Kai Tak.  Apparently it used to be an airport runway?

I'm just asking about "Ocean Terminal" because I believe that is the one that was scheduled for the Magical Mystery Cruise in 2020 according to Andy's amazing notes.

The Viking ships do fit at Ocean Terminal, but which dock they use is at the discretion of the Harbourmaster. You can check the berthing schedule for both Ocean Terminal & Kai Tak online.

 

I much prefer Ocean Terminal, as it next to the Star Ferry Terminal for trips across to HK Island. It is also a short walk to the Kowloon waterfront, Nathan Road and a Metro Station.

Just booked Viking Orion for 2026, that starts in Hong Kong.  Trying to make things easier on ourselves, simply booked the pre cruise extension, 2 nights in Hong Kong. 

 

Since we are going to book our own flights (using up frequent flyer miles) this was the easy way to have Viking transfer service.  Now I don't have to worry about where the ship is docked.  😉

Thanks Andy.  After a little research, I have discovered the Orion is docking at Ocean Terminal. As you said, it is a preferred location.

 

Again, thank you for your notes.  They are so helpful and are written like a guidebook.

We booked the same hotel Viking uses and also our own flights. 🙂

The Shang is a very good hotel, especially if you are on a Horizon floor, but if anyone else is arriving early, the Langham is also very good and within walking distance of the cruise terminal (via the shopping mall)

Thanks. We joined the Horizon Club before we booked the room back in April. We reserved a Harbourview Suite and asked for a high floor, so I hope it’s nice.
