About Us
Surrounded by the picturesque South China Sea, Macau - a coastal city comprising Macao Peninsula, Taipa and Coloane is located on the western bank of the Pearl River Delta and has a long history serving as the southern gateway city of China. Since the arrival of the Portuguese in the mid 16th Century, Macau has been nourished into a city integrated with Chinese and Western cultures. After the return to the motherland, Macau has diversified its economy and paved way to develop itself into a world tourism city boasting a uniquely multicultural city landscape.
Since end of 2015, after the Chinese Central Government formalized the maritime territorial administration of Macau, an immense opportunity opened up for Macau to enrich its sea-borne leisure travel products. Riding on its profound experience in passenger sea travel and understanding of regional tourism trends, Shun Tak-China Travel Ship Management (Macau) Limited launched the Macau Cruise, a customized travel experience that put forward the most unique cultural highlights of the city, contributing to the vision of promoting Macau into a World Travel Leisure Center.
