The 1966 Clydebank built SEA PRINCESS (ex KUNGSHOLM) of Princess Cruises seen at Charlotte Amalie, United States Virgin Islands in an aerial shot taken sometime between 1986 and 1990.

Originally constructed for Swedish America Lines Gothenburg - New York City service as KUNGSHOLM. She was sold out of the SAL fleet in 1975, and purchased from Flagship Cruises by P&O Cruises in 1978, she was heavily rebuilt with the removal of her front funnel as SEA PRINCESS, and operated under the Princess Cruises Livery from 1986 to 1990. Renamed VICTORIA in 1995, she was sold out of the fleet in 2002, and further operated as MONA LISA, OCEANIC II, and MONA LISA.

After a failed stint as floating hotel VERONICA out of Duqm, Oman for DMSE-Oman from 2010 to 2013, she was closed and ultimately arrived at Alang, India to be beached and scrapped by Mahavir Inductomelt on November 13th, 2015. Beached at Plot V-5 on November 17th, 2015, she was history by August of 2016.
