Cruise tourism is steadily on the rise globally, and Malaysia wants a piece of the action. Resorts World Cruises, which started its Singapore and Kuala Lumpur (via Port Klang) itineraries last year, is preparing to launch a new itinerary that adds Hong Kong as a homeport.

The cruise is set to launch on March 10, offering two- and three-night packages from Hong Kong. “We are pleased that Resorts World Cruises will have the first cruise ship to homeport in Hong Kong after the resumption of normal travel with mainland China, and overseas. We hope to support the growth of the Hong Kong tourism as we had done for both Singapore and Malaysia,” said Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, chairman of Resorts World Cruises in a statement.Resorts World One will berth at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in Hong Kong.
