Join the Diamond Princess and settle in for ten nights of relaxing sailing through the sea from Tokyo and back!
This cruise is noteworthy because you will only stop in extremely rare cities such as Niigata, Hakodate, and Shimizu. This route is an interesting one for the Diamond.
We include all entertainment, meals, port fees, and taxes in the price, so there are no sneaky extra fees. Coming in at less than $135 a day, this represents a strong value.
More than 2,700 cruisers can sail on this top-rated Grand class vessel, based in Tokyo and refurbished less than three years ago in 2023.
The Diamond Princess has a casino, a gym, a spa, and an outdoor movie theater.
This sailing is made up of seven port days and two sea days. Highlights include visits to exotic cities like Niigata, Hakodate, and Shimizu.
