Princess Cruises has just unveiled two brand-new specialty dining spots aboard the Diamond Princess, and food lovers are in for a treat.
The cruise line has announced Makoto Ocean and Crown Grill have both opened their doors on the 115,875-ton vessel, which can host up to 2,670 guests.
Both restaurants come with a $55 per person price tag, though those who have purchased the Princess Premier package will find the dining included.
The Diamond Princess is currently making its way around Asia on round-trip voyages from Singapore, with stops in Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam on the cards before heading back to Japan.

Bookings for both new eateries are now open across all sailings. Makoto Ocean brings the artistry of Chef Makoto Okuwa's traditional Edomae-style sushi to the ship, sitting pretty on Deck 7.
The menu features some gorgeous signature dishes, including truffle salmon, snow crab temaki and toro tartare.
Guests can also enjoy Japanese-inspired cocktails like the Genmai Negroni and the Kodai No Hana, which mixes yuzu juice with traditional Doburoku sake.
Crown Grill, meanwhile, has taken over the former Savoy Dining Room on Deck 5.

It's consistently been named among the best cruise ship steakhouses at sea, so expectations are high. The restaurant promises an elegant atmosphere with attentive service throughout.
Princess Cruises vice president of food and beverage, Sami Kohen, said: "With Makoto Ocean and Crown Grill now onboard Diamond Princess, and also recently added onboard sister ship Sapphire Princess, we're proud to enhance the guest experience as Diamond Princess sails across Asia and as we look ahead to our dual-ship Japan season in 2027."
