Back-to-Back Cruises from Shanghai

Shanghai anchors Royal Caribbean's northern Asia programme, and chaining sailings here is the efficient way to justify the flight.

Every row below is a real pair of Royal Caribbean sailings where the second leg departs Shanghai on the day the first one returns. Fares are the lowest cached interior all-in price per guest for both legs combined, before any casino offer is applied. Ships currently chaining 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. Chaining two sailings 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 a fortnight, 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 chain touching multiple countries needs more planning than a Caribbean equivalent.

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