  MS Prinsendam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ms Prinsendam (formerly Seabourne Sun and Royal Viking Sun) is a cruise ship for Holland America Line and is nicknamed the Elegant Explorer.
She was launched in 1988 as the Royal Viking Sun, and was renamed the Prinsendam when she entered service with Holland America in 2002.
Since the Prinsendam is smaller than most Holland America ships, she is able to stop in exotic ports of call.

 Cruise Critic Member Reviews: Prinsendam by Doug Eads
Holland America’s ms Prinsendam glided under the Ponte 25 de Abril Bridge, one of the longest on earth, and to our port side was Holland America’s sister-company ship, Cunard’s QE 2 also departing Lisbon — this was a spell-binding moment in life’s adventures.
Prinsendam is different from the mega-ships prowling the seas of today’s market.
The Prinsendam is now finishing a long awaited project to replace and update the water lines throughout the ship, and once completed will give the elegant ship greater client comfort and a more issue-free service.

 Voyage Report -Prinsendam: Alaska from San Francisco
Since joining Holland America in June 2002, Prinsendam has been called the "Elegant Explorer" as she roams the globe on exciting itineraries of 10 days and longer.
Unfortunately, Prinsendam is not returning to Alaska in 2004 however my good experience aboard her showed how Holland America can help make an Alaska cruise special and I would not hesitate sailing HAL to Alaska again.
Already flexible boarding times are in place and soon four dinner seatings in the main dining room, instead of two, will be available as well as casual dinner service in the lido restaurant and an extensive room service menu.

The loyal Holland-American crew tried to cope with the numerous problems, but nothing could overcome the hype and over-selling that resulted in a full ship, both on the inaugural crossing and on the third leg through the Baltic from Copenhagen on June 26th.
And it made the Prinsendam a two-class ship: passengers in suites could eat in the Odyssey, while the rest of us were allowed in only for dinner, and then if and only if there was room after suite passengers had been accommodated.
In our opinion, the June 3 - July 12 inaugural voyages of Holland American's Prinsendam from New York to Southampton, then around western Europe to Copenhagen, and finally through the Baltic and down to Amsterdam was nearer an ordeal than the wonderful vacation we had planned and anticipated.
