Prinsendam (formerly Seabourn Sun and Royal Viking Sun) is a cruise ship for Holland America Line. She was launched in 1988 as the Royal Viking Sun for the Royal Viking Line, and was renamed "Seabourn Sun" when Seabourn Cruise Line acquired the ship in 1999. In 2002, Seabourn transferred the ship to Holland America Line, where it was renamed the Prinsendam.
Since the Prinsendam is smaller than most Holland America ships, she is able to stop in exotic ports of call. Annually, the ship completes Grand Voyages that usually last 30-70 days.
Rogue wave
In March 2007, the Prinsendam was hit by an approximately 70-foot rogue wave while on the Antarctic segment of a cruise circumnavigating South America. She suffered minor damage, mainly broken glass and damaged furnishings. Upon her return to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, repairs were made to the vessel, delaying her departure on the next cruise by several hours.
