Princess Cruises is expanding its Southeast Asia presence, with Diamond Princess now homeporting in Singapore and multiple sister ships scheduled to visit the region through 2027.
Diamond Princess Begins Singapore Season
Diamond Princess started her Singapore homeporting season on December 7, kicking off with a 16-day voyage to Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, Penang, Phuket, Nha Trang, Halong Bay, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City.
The 2,670-guest ship will offer festive cruises through February 2026, with itineraries visiting 10 destinations across Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Cambodia, including the UNESCO World Heritage site of Angkor Wat in Sihanoukville.
One notable feature attracting Asia-focused cruisers is the ship’s Japanese bath complex, reportedly the largest of its kind at sea at 820 square meters, offering both outdoor and indoor bathing experiences with ocean views.
Major Milestone: February Departure for Japan
On February 10, 2026, Diamond Princess will depart on a sold-out 14-night cruise to Yokohama, visiting Phu My, Nha Trang, Hong Kong, Keelung, Osaka, and Shimizu before arriving in Yokohama on February 24 for an extended Japanese season running through November 2026.
Princess’s Singapore strategy extends beyond Diamond Princess.
Crown Princess, which completed dry dock in November, will make an overnight stop in Singapore in May 2026 as part of its 114-night world cruise.
Royal Princess makes her Southeast Asian debut on October 16, 2026, starting with a nine-night round-trip featuring an overnight Bangkok stay before a 13-night Southeast Asia cruise.
Both Sapphire Princess and Diamond Princess will homeport in Japan from 2027 following their twin Singapore season from December 2026 through February 2027, reuniting the sister ships in the region for the first time since 2018-2019.
