Princess Cruises Adds Premium Dining Options to Diamond Princess for $55

28 January 2026 at 17:53

Princess Cruises added two specialty dining venues to Diamond Princess, Makoto Ocean and Crown Grill steakhouse, with reservations now available for all sailings.

The Diamond Princess, a grand Princess Cruises ship, sails on calm blue water under a partly cloudy sky. It features multiple decks with rows of balconies, a distinctive blue wave hull design, and offers premium dining experiences onboard.

Makoto Ocean

Makoto Ocean debuts on Deck 7, featuring Chef Makoto Okuwa’s Edomae-style sushi that previously launched on Sun Princess and Star Princess

The menu includes signature dishes like truffle salmon, snow crab temaki and toro tartare, paired with Japanese-inspired cocktails including the Genmai Negroni and Kodai No Hana made with yuzu juice and Doburoku sake.

Crown Grill Steakhouse

Crown Grill, previously recognized among the “Best Cruise Ship Steakhouses at Sea,” now occupies the former Savoy Dining Room on Deck 5. The restaurant serves premium aged beef, chops and fresh seafood in what Princess describes as an elegant atmosphere with attentive service.

The latest move puts Crown Grill on nearly every Princess cruise ship, following the installation on Sapphire Princess last fall.

Both restaurants cost $55 per person. Guests who book the Princess Premier package get specialty dining included in their fare, meaning no additional charge for either venue.

With Makoto Ocean and Crown Grill now onboard Diamond Princess, and also recently added onboard sister ship Sapphire Princess, we’re proud to enhance the guest experience,” said Sami Kohen, Princess Cruises Vice President Food and Beverage.

Current Deployment

Diamond Princess currently sails roundtrip from Singapore, visiting Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam before returning to Japan. The ship was built in Japan alongside sister ship Sapphire Princess.

For 2027, Princess Cruises plans its largest Japan season ever, with both Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess sailing from the Tokyo region throughout the entire season.

Princess Cruises’ Discovery Princess has been named “Coolest Way To See Alaska” in Good Housekeeping’s 2026 Travel Awards.

Good Housekeeping selected winners through expert reviews, consumer feedback, and real-world testing by its editorial team.

Discovery Princess earned top marks for blending innovation, luxury, and family-friendly entertainment while delivering authentic Alaskan experiences. The award reinforces Princess’s position as the leading cruise line in Alaska.

What Makes Discovery Princess Stand Out for Families

The ship brings Alaska’s culture and environment onboard through Princess’s signature “North to Alaska” immersive programming.

Park Rangers stationed onboard in Glacier Bay provide live narration and lead Junior and Teen Ranger programs. Storyteller series feature cultural ambassadors, adventurers, authors, photographers, and Iditarod champions sharing authentic Alaskan perspectives.

Beyond traditional cruising, the ship offers unique experiences like Puppies in the Piazza and Campfire Movies Under the Stars—entertainment designed to engage all ages. Youth and teen activities include Gold Rush Treasure Hunt and the Great Alaskan Fishermen’s Race.

Dining reflects Alaska’s seafood heritage. Discovery Princess sources fresh salmon, halibut, and crab locally throughout the voyage.

A unique “Cook My Catch” program lets guests enjoy the fish they reel in during select shore excursions. The ship features Alaska craft beers, local spirits, and signature Alaska-themed cocktails.

2026 Alaska Season Expansion

Princess is operating its biggest Alaska season ever in 2026. Discovery Princess sails the popular “Voyage of the Glacier” route between Vancouver and Anchorage (Whittier), featuring Glacier Bay National Park.

The season marks the debut of Star Princess, the cruise line’s newest ship, offering weekly seven-day Inside Passage round-trip cruises from Seattle. Overall, Princess’s Alaska program for May through September 2026 includes eight ships, 180 departures, and 19 destinations.

For an extended time in Alaska, Princess Cruisetours combines seven-day Glacier cruises with 3-10 nights at Princess-owned Wilderness Lodges.
