singlemultiple entry visa required?

Question

We are travelling to China on a cruise ship with three stops at different ports over a period of a week being Shanghai, Beijing and Dalian (without entering any other countries between each port).I have been advised by a service agency that a single entry would be sufficient under these circumstances. Also that a 'group visa' would be sufficient as there two of us travelling.Is there any way to get an official ruling on this. The Chinese Consulate here wasn't able to advise me.

Hi, you need a multiple entry Chinese visa. Here following is what I got from CVASC's website: Cruise ship passenger may apply for single,double or multiple－entry visa based on cruise ship's route and number of entry. Therefore, a travel itinerary is required.You can contact the office directly for confirmation.
