Emerald Princess Cruises

There are seven restaurants on-board including four dining rooms for anytime dining, the International Dining Room for traditional dining, plus a speciality Italian restaurant and a speciality Steakhouse. The main dining area is the International Dining Room, which is where you can indulge in mouth-watering dishes. If you prefer the idea of choosing when you want to eat then Pacific Moon Dining Room, Santa Fe Dining Room, Savoy Dining Room and Vivaldi Dining Room offer just that. For speciality dining you can choose from Sabatini’s, the on-board Italian restaurant, Sterling Steakhouse, for the finest steak on-board, or, alternatively, Ultimate Balcony Dining offers luxurious meals straight to your balcony stateroom door. There are casual options to choose from, too, including Trident Grill, Horizon Court Buffet, Prego Pizzeria and 24-hour room service.

Diamond Princess has an array of stateroom options to choose from, and each boasts an air of luxury. You can take your pick from interior staterooms, oceanview staterooms, balcony staterooms, mini suites and suites, so there is a stateroom to suit you, whatever your comfort preference or budget. When you choose a room with a balcony, you can make the most of sweeping panoramic views and more private space to relax within your accommodation.

There are plenty of swimming pools on-board Diamond Princess, plus hot tubs and sun loungers. You can take part in photography workshops or cooking demonstrations with the ScholarShip@Sea programme. For those who like it sporty then the gym and fitness centre is fully equipped to offer a good workout, including a swim-against-the-current lap pool to put you through your paces. If you prefer golf then she has a nine-hole putting course and virtual golf simulators. The art gallery offers a whole world of paintings and drawings – which are also available for you to bid on at auction. Surf the web in the Internet Café or take a stroll around the duty free boutiques – it’s all possible on this very ship.

For nightly shows, live music, dancing and high-end productions, make sure you head to the main theatres on-board: Princess Theatre and Universe Lounge. Movies Under the Stars is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you certainly won’t want to miss out on, an alfresco cinema with stunning panoramic ocean views, or you could head to Explorers Lounge and Skywalkers Nightclub, which are the liveliest places on-board. Grand Casino is ideal for those who love to gamble, but if you prefer to relax in a sophisticated setting then you can try Crooners Bar, Wake View Bar, Churchill Lounge and Wheelhouse Bar; each boasting unique charms

What better way to relax on holiday than in the on-board spa? The Sanctuary offers a place of complete tranquillity. You’ll be able to indulge in a world of treatments including a youth enhancing facial, aroma stone therapy, cellulite reduction programme, muscle spa ocean wrap and acupuncture. The library is another great place to relax, with plenty of comfy sofas and countless fascinating books to choose from.
