Night-Before Score
The verdict

Regal Kowloon is twelfth on 28, ahead of Mondrian on road distance to Kai Tak. It runs a free shuttle to and from the airport — per Regal, and another to the China Ferry Terminal, which isn't a cruise terminal.

Neither shuttle goes to a berth — so the ride score here is zero. Regal says the MTR is within close walking distance — with no minutes or metres, and valet parking is offered without a price.

The hotel has 600 guestrooms and 39 suites, three restaurants and a bar, with Regal Court, Mezzo and Café Allegro named. We didn't read the airport shuttle's timetable.

A taxi to Kai Tak is about 10 minutes and HK$85 (about US$11) on the meter by our arithmetic. Pick it for the free airport run — and ask for the timetable before you rely on it.

Book it if

  • You want a free airport shuttle on arrival
  • A big hotel with three restaurants suits you
  • A taxi to the ship is fine

Look elsewhere if

  • You need the shuttle's timetable first.
  • A pool has to be listed.
  • You'd rather be at Harbour City.

No cruise ride is listed: the shuttle named runs to the China Ferry Terminal and the airport. A taxi to Kai Tak takes about 10 minutes — roughly HK$85 on our meter arithmetic.

Regal's page mentions a hotel shuttle to the China Ferry Terminal, and that isn't Ocean Terminal or Kai Tak. By our routing Kai Tak is 4.4 road miles (7.0 km), 10 minutes — Ocean Terminal is 1.4 (2.3 km), 5 minutes.

Nothing documented

The page says the MTR is within close walking distance, with no minutes or metres, so we can't count it against our 0.4-mile line.

Kai Tak's own page lists no bus or minibus from this side of town — so from Regal Kowloon the ride is a taxi, about HK$85.

Skipping Regal Kowloon is possible if your flight lands on sail morning; the landing check says how tight it is.

Which terminal

Kai Tak

Regal's shuttle to the China Ferry Terminal isn't a cruise ride. On our routing Kai Tak is 4.4 road miles (7.0 km) from Regal Kowloon, 10 minutes, and Ocean Terminal 1.4 (2.3 km). Apart from StarCruises' Star Voyager this autumn, no page we read publishes Ocean Terminal's 2026-27 line-up. The Hong Kong cruise guide lists who uses which.

A cab, on the tariff

About HK$85 to Kai Tak

Our reading of the tariff: about HK$85 to Kai Tak and HK$35 (about US$4) to Ocean Terminal. Bags (HK$6 (about US$0.76) each), tolls and fees are extra.

Bags

Lockers at both terminals

Regal Kowloon doesn't tell us about luggage. Both terminals list lockers: Kai Tak at HK$12 to HK$24 (about US$2–3) for four hours, Ocean Terminal from HK$20 (about US$3) for two. Holland America says Kai Tak has no storage, and we couldn't reconcile the two.
