Star Ferry Vessel
Characteristic
The cool ride by Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour between Tsim Sha Tsui and Central is well-acclaimed as the cheapest and the greatest ferry ride in the world. The 8-minute ride enables passengers to admire the harbour view and the citylook, such as the Central's skyscrapers framed by the hills, the architectural beauty of Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre or Hong Kong Cultural Centre. The ferry company came into operation since 1898. Each of the vessels is named after the word "star", for example, "Morning Star", "Twinkling Star", "World Star", etc. Preserving the iconic image of Star Ferry, "World Star" provides larger compartment in cruise-style with uninterrupted view from on end of the boat to the other. The diesel-operated double-decker boats with sailors in neat and tidy uniforms become an indispensable part of the exhilarating Hong Kong image.
