SANTA CLARITA — Princess Cruises’ newly refurbished Diamond Princess has set sail on its inaugural sailing from its new homeport, San Diego.

Departing Nov. 20, the sailing milestone completes Princess’ fleet. From November 2022 through February 2023, the ship will offer a series of new cruise itineraries ranging from 5-16 days and calling at ports along the Mexican Riviera, California Coast and the Hawaiian Islands. In addition, Diamond Princess will sail a unique 20-day cruise to Central America, roundtrip from San Diego on Nov. 27.

“The Port of San Diego is proud to welcome the Diamond Princess, its Captain, crew and guests to the Port of San Diego,” said Chairman Dan Malcolm, Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners. “We are also happy to welcome Princess Cruises back as a homeported line. We look forward to a successful cruise season with them and to many more years of partnership.”

All Princess ships feature the Princess Medallion that enables everything from expedited contactless boarding, to locating loved ones anywhere on the ship. It also allows for enhanced service like having whatever guests need delivered directly to them, wherever they are on the ship. In addition, guests can share their favourite cruise moments using MedallionNet, and stay connected with friends and family back home, work remotely anywhere on the ship, post content and stream movies and shows.
