Today Princess Cruises announced two new opportunities to visit Asia: "Departing in October and November 2013 aboard Diamond Princess, these 10- and 11-day Asia cruises sail round trip from Singapore," with ports of call that include "Bangkok, Bali, Nha Trang and Phuket, as well as two ports not usually visited on Diamond Princess itineraries – Penang, Malaysia and Sihanoukville, Cambodia."

Quoting from the release: “Because we’ve rescheduled Diamond Princess’ drydock during this time, it has opened up a great opportunity for us to present travelers with some intriguing new Asia options,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises executive vice president.
