About Diamond Princess
Diamond Princess is a Gem-class ship, a wider variant of the Grand class built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Nagasaki, Japan, and in service since March 2004. She and her sister Sapphire Princess swapped names during construction after a fire on the hull first meant to be Diamond Princess. At about 115,900 gross tons she carries around 2,670 guests, and in 2017 she was fitted with a hull air-lubrication system to cut fuel use. She is known for a COVID-19 outbreak and quarantine at Yokohama in February 2020. Princess deploys her mainly in Japan from Yokohama, with Southeast Asia and Japan voyages planned for the 2026-27 winter.
