What: Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong’s City and Sea Staycation
Why: ’Tis the season for junk trips but why slum it on a junk when you could have a private yacht? The Mandarin Oriental partnered with luxury travel club Stay One Degree to launch this package, which lets you choose from a collection of luxury boats for your cruise – including Hong Kong’s only 100-foot gulet, a wooden sailing yacht.
Opt for a one- or two-night itinerary (or more if you like), which includes a suite stay at the hotel, of course, and either an overnight or day cruise on the yacht. The hotel handles limousine transfers to the yacht and catering on board, in addition to dining credits, club access and other amenities. The cruising routes include Victoria Harbour, South Hong Kong Island, Lamma Island and Sai Kung.
When: Until September 30
Price: Starting from HK$85,000 (US$11,000) for a group of four; rates vary by month and also by chosen vessel and catering options
