Cruise Itinerary

Departs: 4:00 PM

Singapore has two main cruise terminals. Small and medium cruise ships generally dock at the Harbourfront Center on the western end of the city across from Sentosa Island. This terminal is in one big mall, and sits beside an even bigger mall, Vivocity. There is a MRT stop conveniently located here.

A new cruise terminal, Marina Bay Cruise Centre opened May 2012 accommodating bigger cruise ships. Marina South Pier MRT station provides convenient access to the city. The station is 600m away from the cruise terminal along a sheltered walkway.

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: 7:00 AM Departs: 6:00 PM

Over three decades have passed since the Vietnam War ended with the fall of Saigon. Today, the name of this bustling metropolis on the Mekong River is Ho Chi Minh City. Yet, the essence of the city, remains unchanged.

The air is filled with the cries of street hawkers and honking horns. Bicycles, motorbikes and cars fly down the boulevards at dizzying speeds. And everywhere, friendly faces and warm greetings meet you. Some popular activities while in port include riding a local pedicab through the bustling streets; visiting the vibrant markets, Chinatown and the fascinating Cu Chi tunnels.

Port:Phu My

Phu My serves as the starting point for excursions to Ho Chi Minh City, where you can explore vibrant markets, colonial architecture, and sites significant to Vietnam’s modern history, such as the War Remnants Museum and the Cu Chi Tunnels. Alternatively, the nearby Ba Ria offers a more subdued experience with traditional Vietnamese life, scenic countryside, and local markets, presenting a contrast to the urban intensity just a short drive away.

Arrives: 9:00 AM Departs: 6:00 PM

Nha Trang, a coastal gem of Vietnam, offers a perfect blend of sandy beaches and vibrant city life. The city is renowned for its pristine coastline and the bustling Dam Market, where visitors can immerse themselves in local culture and cuisine. Adventure seekers can explore the Po Nagar Cham Towers, an architectural relic from the Cham civilization, providing a glimpse into the region's historical depth.

For a relaxed day, lounging at Nha Trang Beach with its calm waters and expansive views makes for a delightful escape. Alternatively, a visit to the Vinpearl Cable Car, which presents panoramic views across Nha Trang Bay, is a must-do. The cable car ride connects to an amusement park, adding a touch of excitement to the scenic journey.

Port:Cam Ranh

Love Sabatini’s? (Or really good Italian dinners?) You’ll be happy to hear this popular specialty restaurant has returned to its roots. Think traditional Italian comfort cuisine. Our new menu embraces the old: tried-and-true family recipes our chefs brought with them from Italy, plus exquisite Italian wines and cocktails. You can even enjoy some shareable plates exclusively at Sabatini’s Trattoria.

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 7:00 AM

From your mooring at Ha Long Bay, travel overland approximately 2.5 hours to Vietnam's millennium-old capital, Hanoi.

Step back in time and explore the Old Quarter's narrow streets, revealing 13th-century architecture. See the traditional storytelling art of water puppetry nearby in Hoan Kiem Lake or discover the serene oasis of Ngoc Son Temple.

Indulge in Vietnamese cuisine from street food to fine dining, savouring local delights like pho and banh mi. Make sure to visit the famous Hanoi Train Street, where trains narrowly pass by as you shop and dine, adding a unique and thrilling touch to your visit in this charming city.

Port:Cai Lan

Cai Lan Port is located in Ha Long City and serves as a gateway to the famous Ha Long Bay and Hanoi. Nearby, the bustling Bai Chay area offers dining, shopping, and entertainment options, ensuring a fulfilling day ashore. For those interested in local culture, the Quang Ninh Museum is a short drive away, providing insights into the region’s history and heritage.

Hue, once the capital of Vietnam, is renowned for its rich history and well-preserved heritage, epitomized by the Imperial City, a vast complex of palaces, temples, walls, and gates. The city's tranquil Perfume River adds a picturesque quality, with traditional dragon boats offering leisurely tours. Visitors are also drawn to the Thien Mu Pagoda, one of the oldest and most significant religious structures in the area.

Neighboring Da Nang is a stark contrast with its dynamic growth and modern attractions like the Dragon Bridge, which breathes fire and water each weekend night. Da Nang’s coastline, including the renowned My Khe Beach, is ideal for relaxation or watersports, while the Marble Mountains present a blend of natural beauty and spiritual significance.

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.

Lovely Autumn Cruise 0 , 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

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.
