Royal Viking Sun was built in 1988 by Wartsila, Turku, for Royal Viking Line (part of the Kloster Group). She was transferred to Cunard in 1994 when they acquired Royal Viking Line (but only two of the ships). Following the Carnival takeover of Cunard, Royal Viking Sun was transferred to Seabourn, becoming the Seabourn Sun. In 2002 she passed to Carnival-owned Holland America Line as Prinsendam
