A number of cruise lines currently offer Asian cruises that visit China including Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Holland America and Crystal Cruises. What are the entry requirements for passengers visiting China and how do you apply for a Chinese Tourist Visa?
Tourist Visa Requirements for China
When booking a cruise to Asia, travelers need to be aware that many countries require a tourist visa, including China. Therefore cruises to the Chinese ports of Shanghai, Tianjin (Beijing), Xiamen and Dalian all require the Chinese Tourist Visa to enter. One exception is the port of Hong Kong, where no visa is required to enter this Special Autonomous Region of China (S.A.R.).
