Princess Cruises announced it will extend the number of Diamond Princess itineraries exploring Japan during the 2025-26 season.
“We truly make it easy to travel to Japan and Southeast Asia on our Diamond Princess Love Boat to experience these amazing destinations,” said Terry Thornton, chief commercial officer for Princess Cruises.
“For our fall 2025 through winter 2026 season, we’re thrilled to expand our Japan cruises from Tokyo (Yokohama) during the beautiful fall foliage season and continue to Singapore to highlight the best of Southeast Asia. Plus, our guests only need to unpack once to experience these storied countries while enjoying vibrant shore excursions and our regional culinary and entertainment offerings onboard.”
The new fall 2025 season offers 11 new voyages ranging from nine to 22 days in length, visiting 25 destinations in Japan as well as stops in Korea and Taiwan.
