Hey Selbs, if the last stop of the cruise ship is neither in mainland China nor your home country, you don't need the transit permit as you qualify for the 24-hour direct transit policy.0

If your ship doesn't stop at any other Chinese ports and you still don't have any plan to get off the ship, I think you needn't apply one in advance. However, you still need to ask what your cruise ship company if you can do this. They decide whether you can board or not. If they insist that you should apply one, then you should apply.0
