•If you have any food intolerances or special dietary needs, please contact the Regent Reservations Team at least 120 days prior to your departure. It is important that your land program extension reflects these details so our local vendors can ensure smooth and enjoyable dining experiences.

•Please review the documentation section further below as a Chinese Visa is required for this program

Day 1

After arriving at the Hong Kong International Airport and passing through baggage claim and Customs, you will be met at ARRIVAL HALL B and transferred by private vehicle to your hotel.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure to relax, settle in and explore as you please. Check in time is at 3:00pm. Should you have an early arriving flight you may wish to book an extra night to guarantee your room is ready when you arrive.

Meals are on your own today.

Note: Couples or pairs will be transferred by private van or SUV (max 4 large bags total plus 1 carry-on per person); solo guests will use a sedan (2 large suitcases plus a carry-on). Extra luggage may require a larger vehicle at additional cost—notify your RSSC booking agent at least 14 days before sailing with this information. Transfers include driver only.

Day 2

Following breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will be transferred to the airport for a flight to Xi’an. Upon arriving in Xi’an and passing through immigration, customs and baggage claim, you will start your tour with an exploration of the Muslim Quarter and its Grand Mosque. Muslims have lived in the quarter for more than 1,000 years ago, beginning with the merchants from Arabic countries that settled at this terminus of the Silk Road. The Grand Mosque is particularly fascinating, as it reflects traditional Chinese and Muslim styles.

Walk to the nearby Defachang Restaurant, popularly known for its dumplings. Carefully hand-prepared, the dumplings are available in dozens of different shapes and colors and filled with a variety of local ingredients. You can expect the meal to be wonderfully traditional.

After dinner, proceed to your hotel for check-in and an evening at leisure.

Day 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will drive to the Terracotta Warriors Museum, a repository for thousands of clay soldiers that were buried with China’s first emperor to accompany him in his eternal rest. Considered one of the world’s greatest archaeological treasures, the 7,000 life-size terracotta warriors and horses were buried for centuries until excavated in 1974.

The warriors are grouped in battle order, rank by rank, some mounted on horse-drawn chariots and others in infantry groups armed with spears, swords and crossbows. Each figure was individually created with unique characteristics.

Following the tour and a traditional Chinese lunch at a nearby restaurant, visit the Xian Museum which houses a wealth of historical and cultural artifacts from different periods. The exhibition area is divided into three parts showcasing displays themed on “Ancient Capital Xi’an”, other offers insights into Xian’s urban landscape, societal life and development over 13 dynasties while the special exhibition halls display various Buddhist stone sculptures, ancient paintings, calligraphy and jade artifacts.

Return to your hotel to freshen up before driving to the Tang Dynasty Theatre for dinner and a cultural performance. The lively show features beautiful costumes, ancient music, poetry, singing and dance, some of which were developed as parts of ritual prayers for a good harvest. Following the lively performance, you will return to your hotel for the evening.

Note: The Xian Museum is closed on Tuesdays. An alternate site will replace this visit should it be closed during your program.

Day 4

After breakfast at the hotel and check out and proceed to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. One of China’s most revered pagodas, it was built in 652 A.D. to house the sutras and figurines of Buddha that a Chinese monk brought to Xi’an. The building was eventually expanded to ten stories, although only seven stories remain, as the others were damaged in various wars. Nevertheless, the pagoda is recognized as a symbol of Xi’an.

Then, it’s on to a traditional hot pot restaurant for lunch, before driving to the airport for the flight back to Hong Kong. Upon arriving in Hong Kong, you will be transferred to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at your leisure. Dinner is on your own.

Day 5

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before checking out and transferring to the port for embarkation.

Please make sure to verify with the company you select to issue the Visa or your local Chinese Embassy, whether a single or multiple entry visa will be required based on your cruise itinerary as well as this program itinerary.

It is essential that any China visas be obtained prior to travel. We suggest consulting with your local Chinese Embassy at least 3 months prior to travel to obtain the necessary documentation or for any questions on the above in relation to this program.

VERY IMPORTANT – The name on your cruise booking, passport and visa must all be exactly the same for flight ticket purchase otherwise guests may be denied travel by flight. Please ensure that all documents are identical in spelling to the names provided for your cruise reservation including first, middle and last name. Manifests generated by the cruise line must match your travel documents.

Please also ensure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your planned date of return from China and it must have one entire blank page for the visa.

RSSC will require guests’ passport details within 120 days of sailing as hotels and airlines are requiring these details for reservations and ticketing. Please ensure the most up to date details are added to your booking before this time. Rooms and flight tickets will not be guaranteed without this information. Should you be waiting for new passport details, kindly submit what you have and then provide new details once secured. You will be required to bring both passports with you for this journey for check in for flights.

Visa requirements are subject to change and Visa procurement is the responsibility of each guest.

Not having the required documents ahead of time will result in denial of travel and guests will be required to pay any expenses incurred to not proceed with the program.

The above information is subject to change and serves as a guide only. We would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our guests that it is the ultimate and sole responsibility of the guest to ensure they meet the entry requirements for each destination.

If traveling internationally, the countries you are flying to and/ or connecting through may have different document requirements and as such we encourage you to visit the government and airport websites of every country you will be traveling to throughout the journey to familiarize yourself with their requirements.

The Hong Kong dollar (HKD) is the currency of Hong Kong.

Electricity:

The standard electrical voltage in Hong Kong is 220 volts AC, 50Hz. Most hotel bathrooms also have outlets for 100 volts. If not, you will need a transformer for electrical devices.

If received in a timely manner, at least 95 days before sailing, requests will be sent on the final manifest that our ground operators and hotels receive.

After arriving at the Hong Kong International Airport and going through the luggage claim and Customs, you will be met in the Arrival Hall and transferred by private vehicle to your hotel.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure and meals will be on your own. Feel free to simply settle in and relax or you might explore areas of Hong Kong not on the itinerary.

An RSSC Hospitality desk will be available today where our staff will be happy to provide you with local information, maps, optional tours, dinner reservations etc.

The Murray is a five-star heritage landmark reimagined as a contemporary urban sanctuary in the heart of the Central district on Hong Kong Island. Originally a 1960s government building, this architectural icon has been transformed by Foster + Partners into a sophisticated retreat offering 336 spacious rooms and suites, many with panoramic views of Hong Kong Park and the city skyline. Guests can indulge in world-class dining at five distinctive venues, including the glamorous rooftop restaurant Popinjays, and unwind at the serene wellness centre featuring a spa, indoor lap pool, and fitness facilities. Perfectly positioned on Cotton Tree Drive, the hotel is steps away from the Peak Tram, luxury shopping districts, and cultural attractions, making it an ideal choice for discerning travellers seeking elegance, history, and convenience in one of Asia’s most vibrant cities.

Note: A private van or SUV will be used to transfer couples or parties of two between the airport and the hotel. Vans hold a maximum of four pieces of large luggage (total) plus one carry-on sized bag per person. A sedan will be used for solo guests, which can hold 2 large suitcases and a carry-on. If you will have more luggage, a larger vehicle may be required for an additional cost. Please advise your booking agent at least 14 days before sailing if a larger vehicle is required. Transfers are with driver only.

DAY 2

After breakfast at the hotel, you will be guided on foot from the Murray Hotel to Peak Tram Terminus. Then, you will ride the newly revamped tram up to Victoria Peak. The world’s steepest funicular railway, the Peak Tram opened in 1888 and has been providing spectacular panoramas ever since. As you ascend, you may notice that the steep slope causes an optical illusion in which the skyscrapers seem to be standing at impossible angles. After pausing for photos at the peak, you will drive on to Aberdeen fishing village and board a sampan boat.

While on the water, you can expect to see fishing boats, Chinese junks and villagers doing chores. The experience offers a candid look into daily life. The tour will continue with a visit to Repulse Bay with a photo stop. This is one of Hong Kong’s most popular and beautiful beaches. Overlooking Repulse Bay is the former Repulse Bay Hotel which has long been a landmark of the southern side of the island. Huge statues of Tin Hau, Goddess of the Sea and Kwum Yum, Goddess of Mercy now overlook the beach. After the visit, you will return to hotel for a refreshment.

Later in the day, assemble at the hotel for an evening harbour cruise on the Aqualuna Chinese junk. Relax on a lounge bed, sip on a refreshing drink and soak up the sights and sounds of Hong Kong’s harbour and stunning skyline during the 45-minute Harbour Cruise.

The cruise will be followed by a delicious Peking Duck dinner at Peking Garden restaurant or similar venue. Originated in the Imperial capital of Peking, this is a feast fit for emperors. The duck is air-dried, basted with a soybased glaze and then roasted. When it is ready, the bird is ceremoniously carved at the table.

Transfer back to your hotel and evening at leisure.

DAY 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, today you will visit the cultural treasures of mountainous Lantau. The largest island in the Hong Kong archipelago, it is linked to the mainland by the world’s longest two-deck suspension bridge.

Transfer by coach with your guide and visit Tai O fishing village, where people live much the same as their forebears did over a century ago. Here, enjoy a walking tour of “Little Venice” past charming fishing boats, stilt houses, canals and racks hung with drying fish.

Continue to visit Po Lin Monastery, a picturesque Buddhist retreat. Tour the monastery and view the world’s largest seated outdoor Buddha. Next, a vegetarian lunch is served at the Monastery.

Move on to visit the cultural park and village of Ngong Ping 360. Browse the shops before boarding the Ngong Ping Skyrail, a 25-minute cable car ride with stunning views of Hong Kong, Kowloon and Lantau (weather dependent) then return to hotel. Dinner is on your own.

An RSSC Hospitality desk will be available this evening.

As an alternative in Stanley, you might explore Tin Hau Temple, which once stood at the edge of the sea, and the Murray House, an early 19th-Century building that was moved from its original site to the seaside.

Your next destination is the Star Ferry for a ride across Victoria Harbour viewing the beautiful skyline of the city.

Following the Star Ferry, return to your hotel for an evening at leisure and dinner on your own. A must see is the vibrant Night Market!

Day 3

After breakfast at the hotel, you will depart to visit the hidden gems in the City – the sacred Chi Lin Nunnery, a Buddhist temple complex, and the charming Nan Lian Garden of the Tang Dynasty where each stone, tree, rock or water element is landscaped after specific rules and regulations. With the backdrop of Chi Lin Nunnery, you will find the typical Hong Kong high-rise buildings making for an interesting clash of old, new, calm and hustle.

Next, drive to Tai Po and enjoy a panoramic view of the waterfront and Tolo Harbor at the Spiral Lookout Tower - a large-scale landmark established to mark the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong to China in 1997.

Visit a bustling food market that sells all kinds of fresh products, dried herbs and seafood. Next door is the century old Man Mo Temple dedicated to the gods Man (Literature) and Mo (Martial Arts). It serves as a center of worship for the community.

After sampling a Chinese dim sum lunch at a local restaurant, you will be transferred back to Kowloon with a stop the West Kowloon Cultural District. Visit the Hong Kong Palace Museum which presents over 900 priceless treasures from the Beijing Palace Museum. Many are on display for the first time in Hong Kong, while others have never been shown to the public before. The Museum also regularly presents special exhibitions featuring Chinese art and culture, as well as art and treasures from other parts of the world.

After your visit, return to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own. Your hotel Concierge can make a reservation for you at the best restaurants!

Day 4

Following breakfast and check out from the hotel, you will be transferred as a group to the cruise ship for embarkation.
