travel cruising the world diamond southeast asia around the ship
This was our first cruise to Asia and included stops from Singapore in the south to Tokyo in the north.
We really enjoyed seeing more of the southeast Asian cultures.
We enjoyed land excursions that included everything from ancient fishing villages to a cooking class in Vietnam.
As it turned out, this was the last Princess cruise to "escape" the CoVid shut down.
The next cruise of the Diamond Princess was quarantined in Yokahama Harbor and passengers and crews spent many days going nowhere.
