As one of only two Princess Cruises cruise ships built in Japan, it’s not surprising this exotic gem can often be found sailing to the most intriguing vacation destinations abroad. Great-tasting cuisine can be found throughout the cruise ship, including at the popular Italian restaurant, where freshly prepared pasta creations reign supreme. In the elegant dining rooms, you’ll find sommeliers to help you enhance your meal with paired wines. Poolside, a hand-tossed pizza is always served to you just out of the oven. As an added bonus, both outdoor movie theater and the spa, have recently been added to Diamond Princess!
