According to the National Immigration Administration, if you're in a group of two or more and traveling by cruise organized by domestic travel agencies, you're good to go without the hassle of a visa. Just hop aboard and sail into adventure! 🛳️
So, where can you dock? The ports rolling out the red carpet are:
