1. Why take the ferry
There are three mainstream ways to get from Hong Kong to Zhuhai: ferry, HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge bus, or via Shenzhen + high-speed rail. The ferry's edge:
- Jiuzhou Port is closer to central Zhuhai — the bus only goes to Gongbei, which is further out;
- Skips bridge traffic — holiday queues can hit 2+ hours;
- Faster immigration — Jiuzhou Port is uncrowded and one-stop, ~15 min;
- Baggage included — 23 kg + 1 carry-on per person, free.
2. The 3 options compared

| HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge bus | 60–90 min | HK$65 | Gongbei Port |
| Via Shenzhen + high-speed rail | 2–3 hours | HK$100+ | Zhuhai HSR station |
3. Schedule
4–6 sailings per day, seasonal adjustments. Typical times:
