Northernroots Posted January 21 #1 Share Posted January 21 We are on a Seabourn cruise leaving Hong Kong March 2nd to Singapore March 16th. Looking to book some excursions independently but want to be sure of the correct terminal name. Is there a smart way of doing this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan01 Posted January 21 #3 Share Posted January 21 Usually you would tell the tour operator what ship you are on, and they will know how things work in their location and would get any additional information needed from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernroots Posted January 21 Author #4 Share Posted January 21 Yes, I’ve spent 4 fruitless hours googling this today but not getting the specifics. I thought there might be a website that tracked the ports that ships docked in but I haven’t been able to locate one. I did see a post from one cruiser who had managed to get an answer (after several weeks) from Seabourn expeditions team on the Encore so I’ve got HoChiMinh sorted but not the other stops. I’m going to ring the UK Seabourn team tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfvoyage Posted January 21 #5 Share Posted January 21 just google "Hong Kong cruise schedule": https://www.cruisetimetables.com/hong-kong-china-cruise-ship-schedule.html https://www.kaitakcruiseterminal.com.hk/schedule/2025-2/ http://www.oceanterminal.com.hk/en/schedule.php?cid=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasandSyb Posted January 21 #6 Share Posted January 21 Generally each port authority will have its own website and list of commercial and other vessels for the coming months/year as they are booked in and paid for. They can be subject to change in some ports with larger ships being juggled around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernroots Posted January 22 Author #7 Share Posted January 22 Many thanks for all your responses, I’ll investigate port by port. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmSea Posted January 22 #8 Share Posted January 22 I usually start with "whatisinport.com", and look for the port(s) in question. For each port, they have a link to the location of the port on google map, plus other information. Sometimes, the information may be out-of-date. So, do double-check.

Northernroots Posted January 22 Author #9 Share Posted January 22 Absolutely perfect CalmSea! Just the website I’ve needed, Thankyou, Thankyou! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernroots Posted January 22 Author #10 Share Posted January 22 Still researching and I’ve come across an excellent app GetYourGuide.com - trips are really competitively priced and the app is extremely user friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallydave Posted January 22 #11 Share Posted January 22 Unfortunately no matter what the ship, port or any app says, the docking location cannot be confirmed until the ship is approaching the port as harbor master has control and at time the port changes at the last minute which is why tour operators have to check in the AM where your ship will actually be ported.

Northernroots Posted January 22 Author #12 Share Posted January 22 Ah ha - right. I guess I will have to ensure that any bookings I make I get a contact no to ensure we meet in the correct place - or we don’t book anything with a cruise terminal pick up. Very useful to know this, Thankyou. I guess the tour operators are more familiar with these issues than I am. Our previous cruises have, in the main, been Med or Caribbean, often to small places where there was only one port. I find the Seabourn excursion prices simply ludicrous.
