Diamond Princess - February 2017 - Post 1

On 1st. February I flew to Singapore for 16 days aboard one of my favourite ships, Diamond Princess, around South East Asia. Before the cruise I spent 2 nights at the very comfortable Tanglin Club then after disembarking the ship back in Singapore I spent 2 nights at the Crowne Plaza hotel at Changi airport before flying home on 21st. February. Another most enjoyable trip.

A great flight with Singapore Airlines.
