【Get Discounts】Early Bird Sales for 2015 Diamond Princess Cruise Begin: A Triple Adventure of Sea, Land, and Air from Kaohsiung to Japan

By the MOOK Scenic Spots Family Travel Life Network Editorial Team, compiled and reported

It is estimated that in 2015, over 30 international cruise ships will dock in Kaohsiung, with the number of cruise tourists expected to exceed 100,000 for the first time. To promote Kaohsiung as a home port for cruises, the Ocean Affairs Bureau has actively marketed Kaohsiung to international shipping companies. Following the success of the 2014 “Sun Princess” Southeast Asia itinerary, which used Kaohsiung as its home port and was well received, the Ocean Affairs Bureau and the Kaohsiung International Cruise Association have invited Princess Cruises in June 2015 to launch a “fly-cruise dual-home port” journey between Kaohsiung and Kobe, offering a comprehensive sea, land, and air travel experience.

To show its emphasis on Taiwan’s central and southern markets, Princess Cruises has specially selected the 116,700-ton “Diamond Princess.” In addition to features such as an outdoor pool, a starlight cinema, five-star international cuisine, and Chinese-speaking butler services, the ship also offers an exclusive “Ocean Spa” where passengers can enjoy a hot spring bath while taking in the breathtaking sea view. This “plane plus cruise” itinerary also allows friends from central and southern Taiwan to experience a triple combination of sea, land, and air travel, exploring the ancient city of Kobe and Okinawa Island in depth.
