We are in Dalian for 8 hours then we cruise to Beijing for 48 hours and then to Shanghai - where we will leave the cruise and spend 72 hours before flying back to the USA - do we need tourist visas for our trip?

You need tourist visas. Multiple stops in China limits you to 24 hours transit without visa.
