Japan & South Korea with Diamond Princess

Princess Cruises offers classy cruises with an international atmosphere. The cruise line, which now has one of the largest fleets with 18 ships, startet its success story more than 50 years ago with a single ship cruising along the Mexican Riviera. Meanwhile, the ships of the cruise are sailing on all of the seven seas and cruise along varied routes at all continents. The atmosphere on board the ships is relaxed and comfortable, instead of large rooms you will find also on the larger ships rather smaller cafes and bars. However, the stylish ambience and the excellent cuisine ensure a classic cruise feeling. More and more German guests are also discovering Princess Cruises, so there is German-speaking on-board assistance on selected voyages. Nevertheless, you should have a basic knowledge of English.

One of the cruise lines quality features is its excellent cuisine. In addition to the main restaurant with various dining rooms, there are also five different specialty restaurants on board, where you can enjoy delicacies from all over the world at an extra cost. Our tip: If you do not want to be tied to fixed table times, please note the "Anytime Dining". Then you can eat in a separate area of the main restaurant whenever you want. For that you relinquish a "fixed table" for a fixed table time in the main restaurant.
