Diamond Princess

Life On Board

Discover the best of Japan on board the Diamond Princess – named the ‘Best International Ship in Japan’ by the Cruise Magazine Reader’s Poll. Set sail in Yokohama or Kobe and explore cities like Kagoshima, Okinawa, Nagasaki and Omaezaki. The ship’s Japan itineraries also include Jeju in South Korea and Taipei in Taiwan. Explore Hawaii’s volcanic islands on a sailing from California, USA or cruise to the shores of Mexico and visit Cabo San Lucas, La Paz and Ensenada. You can expect to be surrounded by an international crowd, a lot of which is Japanese. The ship has recently been refurbished to include exclusive features that appeal to its Japanese clientele, like the Japanese bath system or the Kai Sushi restaurant.

Accommodation

Experience the comfort and elegance of onboard accommodation that Princess is famous for. The moment you step in to your cabin, you’ll feel at home, the amenities include anything you may need on your cruise holiday: luxury linens, air conditioning, premium bath products, complimentary room service and plenty of space. Treat yourself to something special with a Suite and enjoy numerous bonus extras and priorities at embarkation and disembarkation. Go with a Two Bedroom Family Suite if you are cruising in a big group and take advantage of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room and a spacious private balcony. Wheelchair accessible staterooms are available in different categories and include a roll in shower and an easy access closet.

Food & Drink

Dine My Way lets you book a table at any restaurant on board, be it included or specialty, for the time that suits you. Choose where, when and with whom you eat every day, or just order snacks and cocktails poolside. Taste your way around the world at the Horizon Court, or try mouthwatering pizza at Preggo Pizzeria. Satisfy your sugar craving at Chocolate Journeys, or go with the famous Princess Burger at Trident Grill. None of the above will cost you an extra cent. Make sure you check out the exclusive Kai Sushi for traditional dishes expertly prepared right before your eyes. Book a table at the award-winning Sabatini’s and feast on authentic Italian dishes the whole family will love.

Princess has paired up with Discovery™ to let you learn something new and exciting.

Festivals of the World offers numerous cultural performances throughout the ship.

Health & Fitness

Enjoy some time at the adult-only hideaway, the Sanctuary. Order a signature cocktail and a light snack or spoil yourself with an al fresco massage, the Serenity Stewards are there to attend to your needs. Experience one of Japan’s favourite pastimes at IZUMI Japanese Bath that features steam rooms, hot tubs and saunas. Men and women bathe separately, except for one outdoor hot tub.

There are facials, massages and body wraps on offer, as well as hair and nail services, tooth whitening and more for both men and women. Maximize your energy levels at the Fitness Centre.

Cruising with Children

The Diamond Princess is one of Princess’ smallest ships that caters mostly to adults, however, there is still plenty to keep younger passengers entertained. Spend quality family time engaging in the Festivals of the World or the Discovery at SEA activities, watch Movies Under the Stars in the evening or shoot some hoops on the Sports Deck. The ship boasts three Kids’ Clubs that are divided according to age. Your little adventurers will love pyjama parties, art projects, rocket building and treasure hunts. The not-so-little ones can hang out at their own Beach House, make new friends, learn how to dance and play dodgeball. They will also no doubt love the teen-only Rock the Boat party, complete with awards and mocktails.
