Peninsula Sunset Cruise

Question

Is the Peninsula Sunset Cruises Still Running

Have been on it previously and would like to go again ?

In Hong Kong 18 September to 10 October

Answer

Yes — the Sunset (Cocktail) Cruise aboard the specially-branded ferry World Star is indeed running again. A press release dated 4 September 2025 confirms that both the “Afternoon Tea on the Harbour” and the “Sunset Cocktail Cruises” are returning this autumn.

Here are the key details and caveats so you can judge if the timing will work for you during your Hong Kong stay from 18 September to 10 October:

The Afternoon Tea cruises depart on Saturdays, from Tsim Sha Tsui pier, for 105 minutes.
The Sunset Cocktail Cruises depart on selected Fridays from Central Pier 7 at 18:30, returning at about 20:15. The announcement lists 19 September, 31 October, 28 November 2025 (and 30 January 2026) as dates for 2025.
The price is listed at HK$820 per person (plus service charge) for the 105-minute experience.

Given your travel window (18 Sep to 10 Oct), here’s how this works out for you:

Your arrival period includes 19 September, which is one of the Friday dates listed for the Sunset Cocktail Cruise. So if you are in Hong Kong that evening, you could book for that date.

Some things to check and consider before booking:

Confirm the exact schedule for the date you want — the published date list may be evolving.
Check boarding location — for the sunset cruise it is Central Pier 7 (Hong Kong Island) for the Friday cruise. For the afternoon tea cruise it's Tsim Sha Tsui Pier.
Check any required dress code or beverage/food inclusions so you know what’s included for the price. The cruise mentions free-flow drinks and canapés for the Sunset Cocktail version.
Because it is an event‐type cruise (with live DJs or live jazz for afternoon tea) check if the atmosphere is what you want — more social and “party style” (for the sunset cocktail) or more relaxed (for the afternoon tea version).
The timing: If your hotel or arrival schedule is tight, remember that boarding might be 18:30 or later, and you should plan transport accordingly. Also check the return time so it fits your evening plan.

In summary: Yes, you can absolutely look into doing the Peninsula Sunset Cruise during your stay, and you are in a position to catch one of the dates offered. If you like the idea of a harbour cruise with drinks, skyline views, social mood and a memorable evening, this is a great pick.

If for some reason the specific date is not available or fully booked, you might also consider other harbour sunset/deck cruises (non-Peninsula branded) that operate more frequently in Victoria Harbour. These may not have the “luxury hotel” branding but still give you a very nice harbour experience.
