Prinsendam entered service for the Holland America Line in 2002 after being transferred from their sister company Seabourn Cruises. Prinsendam was originally built for the Royal Viking Line as their Royal Viking Sun. After the break-up of the Royal Viking Line in the early 1990s, Cunard purchased Royal Viking Sun in 1994 to be operating her under that name until they were taken over by Carnival in 1999. Royal Viking Sun was then transferred to Carnivals other subsidiary, Seabourn Cruises, where she was renamed Seabourn Sun. Three years later, Carnival transferred her to their other subsidiary, the Holland America Line, to be operated under the name Prinsendam.

This Cruise ship has 8 passenger decks, 1 pool, 5 bars, casino, gymnasium and a showroom that can accommodate all the passengers. She has 351 outside cabins with 145 having balconies, 19 inside cabins, can carry 740 passengers and a crew of 450.

Prinsendam is now operated on a wide range of cruises throughout the world from 10 to 46 nights. These cruises include the UK & Scandinavia, Mediterranean, Africa, India & Middle East, Bahamas & Caribbean, South America & Antarctica and Trans-Atlantic.
