The Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong express rail link will be operational on September 23, connecting Hong Kong to the world’s longest high-speed rail network and with the impending operation of the Hong Kong – Zhuhai - Macao bridge, Hong Kong will become even more accessible to inbound travelers from the western areas of the Pearl River Delta, such as Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing.
To take advantage of the new transport infrastructure, Dream Cruises recently kicked off a roving road show campaign in five major cities that will have access to Hong Kong by high-speed rail or the tunnel bridge, including Changsha, Wuhan, Zhuhai, Dongguan and Foshan to promote ‘High-speed Rail + Cruise’ as a vacation option.
High-speed rail fare rebates
The campaign features an exclusive high-speed rail fare rebate of RMB$200 (maximum of RMB$400 per cabin), applicable to the first 1,000 guests who will take the high-speed rail to Hong Kong for a 2-night cruise holiday from Kai Tak Cruise Terminal.
Pre- and post cruise stays in Hong Kong
Inbound tourists from mainland China who travel to Hong Kong by high-speed rail or via the Hong Kong – Zhuhai – Macao bridge can choose to start their vacation with a cruise holiday, then stay in Hong Kong; alternatively, they can book a pre- cruise stay for sightseeing and shopping in Hong Kong.
World Dream currently offers two alternating weekly itineraries from her dual homeports of Hong Kong and Guangzhou – the 2-night weekend escape and 5-night cruise to Okinawa, the Philippines or Vietnam, subject to different cruising seasons.
The train journey times vary from 40 minutes by high-speed rail from Zhuhai to Hong Kong up to five hours from Wuhan Railway Station in West Kowloon.
