Anywhere you go in Beijing, you’ll be immersed in thousands of years of history while also glimpsing China’s modern, sleek future. In many ways, Beijing is the beating heart of China where some of its greatest sights are found, like the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City. For foodies, eating is an important part of daily life here, both ritualistic and social. From delicious Sichuan beef noodle soup to Cantonese dim sum, there are many more varieties of Chinese cuisine that you might not be familiar with. Stop in for traditional green tea or oolong, savoring every sip before moving on to your next adventure.

After your cruise ship docks in Tianjin on one of our Asia cruises, you can head straight to the center of Beijing or take a short detour beyond the city for a tour of the romantic Summer Palace. Scaling the steps of the Great Wall of China is a bucket list item for almost everyone, and you can check that off your list on a Beijing cruise. While you’re in Beijing, don’t miss a chance to see the iconic Tiananmen Square and the Gate of Heavenly Peace. At the Lama Temple, crane your neck upward to take in the impressive 60-foot Buddha statue. And of course, Beijing boasts some of the world’s best history and art museums, like the Beijing Capital Museum.

While we don't currently sail to Beijing, you can still discover the beauty of the country on one of our China cruises. Browse our luxury cruises to China below.
