About Diamond Princess: Diamond Princess is a large cruise ship owned and operated by Princess Cruises. She began operation in March 2004 and primarily cruises in Alaska during the summer and the Mexican Riviera in the winter. Diamond Princess is a luxury destination in itself with nearly 740 balcony staterooms. The Diamond debuted as the Princess fleet's biggest, and the first cruise ship built in Japan in more than a decade. Even before it was launched, though, the Diamond Princess had a colourful history. In fact, if the ship had been the object of tabloid fascination, the headline would have read 'Switched at birth'.
Originally designated as the Sapphire Princess, this hull (number 2181) was renamed after a shipyard fire forced a juggling of the construction schedule at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Nagasaki, Japan. The result was a flip-flop. Diamond Princess would make its debut a year later than scheduled, while the fire-damaged hull (number 2180) would set sail a few months afterwards as the Sapphire.
Structurally, the Diamond Princess is visibly derived from the Grand Class of 98,883-tonne vessels. The most obvious differences lie around the funnel. Two cigar-shaped pods on either side of the stack are part of a hybrid propulsion system that combines a gas turbine engine with a diesel-electric power plant. Employing the hybrid system allows the ship to run clean in environmentally sensitive destinations such as Alaska, where the ship will operate a summer schedule of seven-day departures.
