Voted as the Best International Ship in Japan by Cruise Magazine Reader’s Poll, Diamond Princess cruise brings a series of fun and entertainment to guests on-board. From theatre performances by broadway-legend Stephen Schwartz, disco balls, luxurious lounges and casino to delightful meals at Kai Sushi and Sterling Steakhouse, relaxing body-pampering sessions and poolside activities, there is simply something to occupy everyone with.

Built in 2004, Diamond Princess can carry up to 2670 passengers and has been sailing to various parts of the world including Carribean, Alaska, Europe, Hawaii and Asia.

Bars and Entertainment

The night is always young when you are on the cruise. There are just about five lounges you might want to dive straight into. Whether you are basking under the night sky at Skywalkers or having a classic martini at Crooners Martini Bar, don’t forget to check out the Princess Theater for some grand performances (e.g. Bravo) too.

Outdoor Pools

Take a dip in Diamond Princess’ four pools, located indoors and outdoors. Surely the hot weather calls for a cooling sport or a good suntan.

As night falls, gaze towards the large amphitheatre situated above the open-air pool for the screening of exciting films, concerts and live games such as live soccer matches.

Spa and Massages

Pamper yourself from head to toe at The Sanctuary and, the exclusive IZUMI Japanese Bath that comes with saunas, steam room and hot tubs overlooking the pristine ocean.
