Princess Cruises added two specialty dining venues to Diamond Princess, Makoto Ocean and Crown Grill steakhouse, with reservations now available for all sailings.
Makoto Ocean
Makoto Ocean debuts on Deck 7, featuring Chef Makoto Okuwa’s Edomae-style sushi that previously launched on Sun Princess and Star Princess.
The menu includes signature dishes like truffle salmon, snow crab temaki and toro tartare, paired with Japanese-inspired cocktails including the Genmai Negroni and Kodai No Hana made with yuzu juice and Doburoku sake.
Crown Grill Steakhouse
Crown Grill, previously recognized among the “Best Cruise Ship Steakhouses at Sea,” now occupies the former Savoy Dining Room on Deck 5. The restaurant serves premium aged beef, chops and fresh seafood in what Princess describes as an elegant atmosphere with attentive service.
The latest move puts Crown Grill on nearly every Princess cruise ship, following the installation on Sapphire Princess last fall.
Both restaurants cost $55 per person. Guests who book the Princess Premier package get specialty dining included in their fare, meaning no additional charge for either venue.
With Makoto Ocean and Crown Grill now onboard Diamond Princess, and also recently added onboard sister ship Sapphire Princess, we’re proud to enhance the guest experience,” said Sami Kohen, Princess Cruises Vice President Food and Beverage.
Current Deployment
Diamond Princess currently sails roundtrip from Singapore, visiting Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam before returning to Japan. The ship was built in Japan alongside sister ship Sapphire Princess.
For 2027, Princess Cruises plans its largest Japan season ever, with both Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess sailing from the Tokyo region throughout the entire season.
