- This page is devoted to
postcards and photographs of the Saga Cruises ship Saga Rose. Sagafjord - Page 1 shows her earlier career as Sagafjord and Gripsholm.
-
- Sagafjord was completed in May 1965 by Soc.
des Forges de la Méditerranée (La Seyne sur Mer).
The builders lost so much money on her construction that they
went into liquidation the following year. Sagafjord was 24002grt and carried 85 First
and 704 Tourist passengers on Atlantic crossings, 462 in one
class when cruising. She was powered by two 9cyl Sulzer diesels
totalling 27000shp. In 1980, she and Vistafjord passed to Norwegian American Cruises (NAC), 90%
owned by NAL. In 1983, Trafalgar House acquired NAC, and the
ships joined the Cunard fleet, Sagafjord retaining her name. In 1996 was
chartered to Transocean Tours as the Gripsholm, followed in the same year by
sale to Saga Cruises as the Saga Rose. Saga
Rose is due
to be withdrawn in 2009.
