I can tell you how it was handled on the World Cruise if that helps. Ngaire is correct. You flew from Shanghai to Beijing and stayed for 2 nights at the Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing. The excursion covered seeing everything with English speaking guides, 2 first class dinners, two lunches and breakfast. I did not go on this excursion but have friends who did and they raved about it!! From Beijing they flew and met back up with the Voyager in Hong Kong
