About:72-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Visiting China by cruise ship in March 2024

I am a UK citizen, resident in Bermuda, and my cruise ship:
arrives Shanghai March 7, departs March 8
arrives Dalian March 10, departs same day
arrives Tianjin (for Beijing) March 11, departs March 12
Would any/all of the above be eligible for the Visa-free concession?
Would it make a difference if I only take tours organised by a local company?
Thank you

Actually, this is the situation that is treated under 15 Days Visa-Free Policy for Cruise Tour Groups. This is a policy used by cruises and tour companies alike and allows all those entering Shanghai to enjoy up to 15 days visa free tour to many Chinese cities/areas. Or in short:

The Shanghai 15-day visa-free policy enables cruise tour groups from all over the world to visit Shanghai and other Chinese coastal provinces for up to 15 days. Tourist groups should enter Shanghai by cruise ship and exit from China by the same cruise ship. The local Chinese travel agency receiving the tourists will handle the official paperwork upon their arrival.

A qualified foreign tourist group must contain at least two members and will be received by a legitimate Chinese travel agency like TravelChinaGuide at the Shanghai Port International Cruise Terminal or the Wusong Passenger Transport Center. The local Chinese travel agency should have legally registered in mainland China.
