Why Shanghai works for a back-to-back
- Getting to Shanghai from most of the world is a long, expensive flight. Pairing 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 trip touching multiple countries needs more planning than a Caribbean equivalent.
Nearest airport: Shanghai Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA).
Spend your Club Royale offers across both legs
A casino offer covers one sailing. Put two back to back and you can spend two offers on one continuous trip. legtolegcruises.com works out which offer belongs on which leg so the pair costs you as little as possible.

Do I need a visa for a back-to-back cruise from Shanghai?
Very likely, and the rules depend on your nationality and on which countries the itineraries visit. Visa-free transit arrangements that cover a short stay may not cover a two-week trip with multiple entries. Confirm with the consulate and with Royal Caribbean well before booking.
