You need a visa. No visa-free privileges for you. You're in a similar situation to the poster #169 who posted today on
this thread.
While cruise lines can sometimes make group limited-visa arrangements for their passengers, it's only for day excursions with people who are arriving and departing by cruise. In which case, the cruise company should notify passengers of the requirements and arrangements.
