The second unit in the pioneering three ship Song of Norway class. Nordic Prince was also one of two of her kind to be expanded with a massive insertion of new hull, cabins, and an additional pool. The process required the ship to actually be cut in-half, with the middle section inserted, and the other parts welded into place. The process would later be used on Enchantment of the Seas on a much larger scale.
