The ship was first put into service in 1972. She was scrapped at Gadani Ship Breaking Yard, Pakistan in February 2022.

Along with her sister ships, ''Song of Norway'' and ''Nordic Prince'', the class comprised the first purpose-built ships intended for Caribbean-based cruise travel. ''Sun Viking'' cruised the Mexican Riviera on a 7-day itinerary out of Los Angeles and the Caribbean out of San Juan, Puerto Rico in the early 1990s. The ship was retired in the late 1990s by Royal Caribbean, but continued in service with other cruise lines.

In 1998 ''Sun Viking'' was sold to Star Cruises and renamed ''SuperStar Sagittarius''. She was later renamed ''Hyundai Pongnae'' in 2003, sailing for Hyundai Merchant Marine, before becoming ''Omar III'' with Asia Cruises.

The ship was renamed ''Long Jie'' in 2007. She was put up for sale on 10 June 2010. After being dry docked in Singapore, ''Long Jie'' was transformed into ''Oriental Dragon'', leaving Singapore on 24 March 2011 bound for Guangzhou, China.

After several years of service as a gambling ship in Hong Kong, she moved to Penang, Malaysia in late 2019 to continue her career. In 2021, the ship was finally retired and was scrapped at Gadani Ship Breaking Yard, Pakistan in February 2022 as ''Dragon.''
