The history of the ship... 

The now over 90-year-old ship Prinses Juliana was originally built and used as a training ship in the Netherlands. 

On 13 June 1931, Her Royal Highness Princess Juliana of the Netherlands christened the new training ship from the "Onderwijsfonds" (Dutch maritime education organization). 

At the end of 1931, the ship was put into service, but due to a rapid increase in the number of students, the cabins had to be expanded and improved. A modification was also carried out by the "Gideon" shipyard, where the ship was lengthened from the original 32.40 meters to 38.85 meters.

 Prinses Juliana served as a Dutch training ship until 1969, when more modern Dutch training ships took over. There was, however, a break during World War II, when the ship was used to house German officers.

The new life... 

On 31 December 1969 the ship was laid up, and on 10 March 1970 it was sold. Since then it has served as a restaurant ship. The ship's engine and propeller were also later removed to make room for a new galley and a cold storage room. 

 The ship has sailed under several captains. Captain Salomons of the "Prins Hendrik" had the honour of picking up the "Prinses Juliana" from the shipyard, and he remained at the helm until 1948. Subsequently it was D.G. Spuyman 1948–1959, P.C. Noordhoek (temporary) 1959–1960, R. D. Houtman 1960–1963, R. v.d. Huizen 1963–1965, W. Bos 1965–1966, H. Klootsema 1966–1970

Today... 

Prinses Juliana has been moored at the quay on Aalborg's waterfront at the Limfjord Bridge since 1993. 

This area is part of Aalborg city center's most charming waterfront, offering a fantastic view of the Limfjord and an atmosphere of maritime activities and cultural diversity. 

The location is very central in the middle of the city - but the ship can of course be moved via towing to any harbor in most of Europe. 

The seller is of course happy to provide expert advice so that a change of ownership goes smoothly.

More good alternative options... 

During the winter months of December-January 2025-2026, various interior design solutions were created to show the possibilities for the princess - all done by an interior design company. 

Therefore, the images shown are not artificial intelligence, but interior design setups from the real world of Salesstyling in Denmark. We hope that it can help the imagination run wild.
