Diamond Princess

The only ships to be built in Japan for Princess Cruises' fleet have many examples of the fine workmanship and attention to detail throughout. Look closely at the exceptional tile designs in the Calypso Pool area -- the intricacy is stunning.


Sister-ships Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess include all the features traditionally enjoyed on Princess Grand-class vessels -- but with a twist. The two 116,000-ton ships are larger than their Grand-class fleetmates yet carry fewer passengers relative to their size. As a result, Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess have a higher ratio of space per person and feel much roomier. Their exterior profiles are also sleeker, due to the repositioning of the high-in-the-sky disco to a spot on the uppermost deck. Facing aft, another disco improvement is the addition of an outside balcony overlooking the ship stern; this is a perfect spot for romantic stargazing.

Reservations are not necessary for the four Personal Choice or "themed" dining rooms. If there is a wait for the one you've chosen, you can move on to another and not miss any of the evening's special dishes; in addition to the regular menu for the day, specials are available no matter where you dine. Just ask your waiter.
