Diamond Princess

Diamond Princess delivers Gem-class cruising with 2,670-passenger capacity, the first cruise ship built in Japan in over a decade when she launched in 2004. Built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Nagasaki, this ship features Japanese-inspired design elements and service standards refined for the Asian market. The wider beam (123 feet vs standard Grand-class) provides spacious public areas and the signature Sanctuary retreat. Sailing Japan itineraries from Tokyo during northern summer and Australia/New Zealand during southern summer, Diamond Princess excels at Asian and Pacific destinations. Perfect for travelers seeking Princess quality with immersive Japan experiences including cherry blossom and autumn foliage sailings.
