I understand that for several years Phoenix Reisen has expressed interest in acquiring Prinsendam but the price that Holland America/Carnival has asked for the ship has always been higher that Phoenix Reisen are willing to pay. Recently, following the announcement that two of the Statendam-class ships would be transferred to the P&O Australia fleet the speculation regarding the future of Prinsendam (as the older ship of the fleet)has again arisen and with it the rumours of Phoenix Reisen's interest in her. There has been no report of the ship having been sold, to anyone. Right now it is nothing more than idle speculation. Unless of course someone has inside information that has not yet been made public?
