If you would like to get off the cruise ship at Miyajima island and do some sightseeing, you have choice to do so.
As for the return trip, if you are staying at the Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima, we would recommend a plan that includes a high-speed boat that takes you back to the hotel.
If you are going to the center of Hiroshima City or heading to another city by JR, you can take a ferry from Miyajima to Miyajima-guchi and transfer to a train.

Dinner Cruise

The dinner cruise starts with a welcome drink as you depart from Hiroshima Port and heads for the coast of Miyajima. Enjoy a meal while listening to live piano, harp, or violin music on the way.

Off the coast of Miyajima, the ship will anchor for about 5 minutes to view the illuminated O-torii Gate of Itsukushima Shrine. 
You can step out onto the deck and enjoy the scenery with the fresh sea breeze.
** The O-torii gate is currently covered up by scaffolding for restoration works.
