Good. This is a cruise starting in Sydney and terminating in Hong Kong.Your situation is very simple because your itinerary is perfectly constructed and you are definitely eligible for 24 hour visa free transit in Xiamen and you don't need any kind of visa. You will be all granted a temporary entry permit to explore Xiamen and it will be a great encounter with mainland China and even better than that - you will not need a visa :)
