If I understand it right, your whole trip is like VN - Shanghai flight, then the cruise from Shanghai to Japan and back to Shanghai, then the flight back to VN, like VN - SH - JP - SH - VN, then you are eligible for the 240h visa free transit twice, and you will obtain them at Shanghai airport with your booked cruise trip to Japan and Shanghai international cruise port with your booked flight ticket to Vietnam respectively. Wish you a happy travel.
