Named Song of Norway, she was the first ship built for cruise line Royal Caribbean International.

As Song of Norway she was the first vessel to service the Royal Caribbean proprietary resort of Labadee, Haiti.

In October 2004 she was sold, refitted and became MS Dream Princess for Caspi Cruises (Israel) and operated the 2005 season from Haifa.

[4] After refitting in Turkey and Malta, the ship was chartered to the Peace Boat organization and renamed the Clipper Pacific.

For the 2010 and 2011 seasons, under the name M/V Ocean Pearl, the ship has been chartered by Quail Travel's Happy Cruises.

[9] The list was eventually corrected but on 18 November 2007, due to strong winds, Dream Princess came loose of her moorings and collided with an adjacent cargo ship causing minor damages in both vessels.

On July 16, 2008, the Clipper Pacific was detained in New York by the United States Coast Guard for numerous safety violations including a leaking hull.

[11] Further extensive repairs were made in dry dock in Tampa, Florida, where inspectors found new safety problems.

[12][13] The ship was next detained for a couple of days in August 2008 in Seward, Alaska for significant code violations.
