From the cruise terminal to Beijing
Meet the team at the terminal confirmed for your sailing. The drive into Beijing takes a substantial share of the shore-time window, so the program starts with the ship’s arrival, disembarkation process and all-aboard deadline. These are checked before deciding how much city sightseeing can be included.
Explore the Forbidden City
The palace is the central visit. Walk through its courts and halls with your guide, gaining an understanding of the layout and the roles of different spaces. Admission must be arranged for the intended date and visitor details; the palace should not be treated as a walk-up stop that can simply be inserted at any hour.
Add a suitable Beijing highlight
The retained route allows further Beijing sightseeing when time permits. The choice is made around the palace visit and the drive back to port. A nearby, focused stop is generally more practical than adding a distant attraction merely to lengthen the list.
Return to the cruise
Leave the city according to the agreed schedule and travel back to Tianjin. Your proposal specifies guiding, admissions, any meal and the planned return time, so you can judge the full excursion against the ship’s requirements.
Planning your visit
Palace opening arrangements and tickets are checked for your date. Send the ship name, terminal and latest return time before requesting this excursion.
