Welcome to our Kungsholm website celebrating this stylish and beautiful ship. She was the last passenger ship built for the Swedish American Line. She was also the largest ship built for the shipping company. She served on the transatlantic service and on cruises. She soon became known as one of the most luxurious and beautiful liners on the oceans.

In 1975 Swedish American Line withdrew from shipping and she was retired from service and sold to Flagship Cruises. In 1979 she was sold to P&O Cruises and underwent a major rebuild which sadly somewhat compromised her appearance. She re-emerged with just one funnel and named Sea Princess. She served the Australian, British and US markets for many years before returning to P&O Cruises as Victoria. She was retired by P&O Cruises in 2002. She however has gone on to serve with a variety of companies and indeed happily remains in service to this day. 

This website aims to record the history of this fine ocean liner and act as a virtual home to honour and celebrate this fine ship. We hope you enjoy this website and when you leave we hope you will visit again soon.
