12 February 2020

Princess Cruises has cancelled a raft of sailings in south-east Asia as it grapples with the coronavirus outbreak. 

Diamond Princess has been held under quarantine in Yokohama since the start of the month

Sapphire Princess’s current voyage will finish as scheduled, but future sailings – on 13 and 23 February – have been axed. 

Additionally, 12 trips due to depart until 12 March onboard Diamond Princess have been called off.

Diamond is currently being quarantined off the coast of Japan because 174 people onboard have been infected with coronavirus. 

Anyone who has booked onto the cancelled sailings will receive a full refund, the cruise line said.
