Itinerary

Departs: 4:00 PM

The Port of San Diego is the fourth largest port in California and is  is located right in downtown San Diego. Major cruise lines depart from the B Street Pier Terminal which is located a 10-minute drive from San Diego International Airport (SAN) and San Diego Station (Amtrak) and is easily accessible from major freeways.  The Embarcadero and nearby areas offer plenty of options for paid parking during your cruise.

Cruise lines embark to destinations such as the Mexican Riviera, Hawaii, the California Coast and the Panama Canal. 


Revitalize and refresh body, mind and soul onboard Diamond Princess - from rejuvenating spa treatments and the tranquility of a top-deck retreat reserved just for adults to our state-of-the-art fitness centers, you’ll find all the elements to come back new.

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 10:00 PM

The Port of San Francisco annually hosts more than 80 cruise ships at the James R. Herman Cruise Terminal (Pier 27) and nearby Pier 35. The terminal is in a prime location, with easy access to popular attractions including Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, the Ferry Building and Union Square.

One of the most spectacular things about cruising from San Francisco is passing under the Golden Gate Bridge. Make sure you are on the lido deck for the sailaway party. It’s certainly a ‘hold your breath’ moment as the ship sails under the bridge.

Savour fresh sashimi at Kai Sushi, enjoy street performers in the dazzling Atrium, or catch a lavish show in the theatre. How about immersing yourself in a traditional Japanese bathing experience at the Izumi Japanese Bath, the largest at sea?

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 5:00 PM

With its warm climate, rich cultural heritage and activities for any adventurer, Ensenada is one of Mexico’s most popular cruise ports.

Top Things to Do in Ensenada:

  • visit a winery in the Guadalupe Valley
  • marvel at La Bufadora, the largest marine geyser in the world
  • shop on Avenida Lopez Mateos
  • snorkel around Todos Santos island

Vietnam with Halong Bay   0 , ON, Canada, Jan 2026
Unforgettable! Halong Bay is a marvel of the nature. Must seen in the life time. Vietnam is vibrant, growing, friendly and brave country. Shore excursions are very well organized, interesting and full of fun. The cruise itself demonstrates extremely good logistics. Crew is helpful and kniwlegible. Captain is smazing: one serious storm was handled with read more extreme cold blood. The ship was stable and reliable. Looking forward for the next cruise this year! My agent Kaitlyn is always available and helpful. I'm glad I found her. Now I am her client for further cruises!
Very nice   0 , TX, USA, Dec 2025
We really enjoyed it thank you again to our travel agent Ethan who was very helpful. We are looking to go Italy and Greece this May or June in a new ship. The staff on the trip we just went on weresuper nice and friendly - we loved it a whole bunch.
Lovely Autumn Cruise 1 , NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
We enjoyed our cruise although we do prefer the Princess Royal class of cruise ship, as the Diamond Princess doesn’t have a large Piazza with cafe, no concierge lounge and not quite as many facilities. November was a great time of year to see the Autumn colour, Mt Fuji with snow on the top, plus the weather was perfect and we didn’t have any rain. The read more shore excursions were good, but very expensive. Once again a big thank you to Hannah C for organising everything and we highly recommend Global Journeys for a great booking experience.
Thank you Global Journeys- Diamond Princess Cruise 0 , New Zealand, Oct 2025
I’d like to thank Hannah from Global Journeys for her help and for answering all my questions so promptly. It was very reassuring having her to help us on our journey. The 9 Day Japan cruise on Diamond Princess was amazing from start to end. The onboard entertainment was incredible and the staff so welcoming and friendly. The variety of food was excellent. read more We had a wonderful time.
A Great Trip By sea   2 , NSW, Australia, Feb 2025
The trip was well planned and was at a great price. We managed to see some amazing sites The princess cruise was exceptional.
Lovely New Zealand Cruise 3 , QLD, Australia, Jan 2025
Had a great time travelling with Princess, it was our first cruise and for our Honeymoon and was overall a great experience. Luckily we also had amazing weather. Given how great this cruise was we will be booking another cruise in the very near future!
Circumnavigating New Zealand 1 , QLD, Australia, Oct 2024
Global Journeys were very helpful. Most ports were enjoyable visiting with Dunedin being a very pleasant surprise. Very disappointed missing the Milford Sound because of a threatened storm in the Tasman Sea.
Enjoyable South East Asia 16 , Australia, Dec 2023
The cruise itself was great and the reserve dining was fantastic. Great food and great service. Only downside was the chaos of boarding the ship in Singapore. This was a surprise because normally Singapore is a pretty efficient place but boarding was a total mess. Took hours and the system was a shambles. No priority boarding for suite holders and even read more luggage drop off took almost an hour which was madness. Once onboard all was fine.
