About the Tsim Sha Tsui – Central (Hong Kong) crossing

Over 240 sailings a day connect Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon with Central on Hong Kong Island. This domestic route is run exclusively by Star Ferry. The first departure is at 06:30, with the final crossing at 23:26, and the service runs every day. Each crossing of Victoria Harbour takes approximately 9 minutes, with standard fares from HK$5.

Vessels and Terminals

Passengers travel between Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier and Central Ferry Pier's Pier 7. The vessels used are the operator's classic double-decked ferries. This class of vessel is designed for foot passengers only; no vehicles are carried on this route. The journey connects two major transport and commercial districts directly across the harbour.

Onward Connections

From the Tsim Sha Tsui pier, Star Ferry also operates a service to Wan Chai. The Central Ferry Piers complex is significantly larger, providing onward ferry connections to multiple outlying islands and districts. These include services to Cheung Chau, Discovery Bay, Ma Wan (Park Island), and a different cross-harbour route to Hung Hom.

Vehicles, pets & onboard

  • Harbour and water tours
