Visa required if I like to join the one day tour offer by cruise agent

Hi All:

Further to the question above, I am joining the celebrity cruise from Japan to Hong Kong and the cruise will ported at Shanghai on Nov 02 2014 at 06:00 and depart at 22:00p.m. on the same day. Just want to confirm do I need to apply for any type ahead of time in order to join the one day cruise tour to visit shanghai city. Or I can simply apply for stay permit using my Canadian Passport.

Thanks
Vicky
