The vessel – which was one of the first to be quarantined at the start of the pandemic after passengers tested positive for Covid-19 – welcomed guests onboard for its inaugural sailing from its new homeport of San Diego on Sunday (20 November).
From November 2022 through February 2023, Diamond is offering a series of cruise itineraries ranging from five to 16 days and is calling at ports along the Mexican Riviera, California coast and the Hawaiian islands.
"Homeporting Diamond Princess in a destination as remarkable as San Diego and now giving our West Coast fans four convenient California departure points to enjoy the original ‘love boat’ is an outstanding combination," said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president.
"Whether you’re looking for four-, five- or seven-day convenient West Coast vacations, or vacations that extend to Hawaii or the South Pacific, Princess Cruises has you covered at incredible values."
