Each trip above is a real Royal Caribbean back-to-back that starts in Shanghai, where the second leg leaves from the port the first one ends at, on the day it gets in. 4 of them end somewhere other than Shanghai, because one leg is a one-way sailing (a transatlantic, say), and each of those says where it ends. Fares are the lowest interior all-in price for 2 guests sharing a cabin, both legs combined, with the per person figure beside it, before any casino offer is applied. Ships currently running back-to-backs here: Spectrum of the Seas.

Why Shanghai works for a back-to-back

Getting to Shanghai from most of the world is a long, expensive flight. Sailing two legs back to back amortises that cost across twice the holiday, which is the single strongest argument for a back-to-back anywhere.
Itineraries run to Japan and South Korea, with consecutive weeks often visiting different ports rather than repeating the rotation.
The ship is your hotel and your translator for two weeks, which makes a region that can be daunting to travel independently very easy to see.

Turnaround day at Shanghai

Turnaround procedures in Shanghai involve Chinese immigration rather than US customs, so allow more time and follow the ship's instructions closely. Bring your passport ashore.

Getting there

Check visa requirements carefully and early. China's transit and tourist visa rules vary by nationality and change, and a two-week trip touching multiple countries needs more planning than a Caribbean equivalent.

Nearest airport: Shanghai Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA).
