- This latest Sailing Day features Cunard's legendary SAGAFJORD and Carnival's popular JUBILEE departing Los Angeles on a sunny April afternoon in 1995. The JUBILEE would continue sailing with Carnival until 2004 and was ultimately broken up at Alang after subsequent careers as the PACIFIC SUN and HENNA in 2017. SAGAFJORD, which was built in 1964 for Norwegian America Line (which was purchased by Cunard in 1983), would soon be retired from the Cunard fleet. She would suffer a disastrous breakdown in early 1996 during her world cruise, which ended up being abandoned off Hong Kong with the ship being towed to the Philippines for repairs. She was next chartered to Transocean Tours, a German operator, and renamed GRIPSHOLM, then, in 1997, she was sold to Saga Holidays, who lovingly operated her until 2009, when new SOLAS regulations forced her retirement. SAGA ROSE was eventually scrapped in Shanghai after a 46 year career as one of the most beautiful and luxurious cruise ships the world had ever seen.

Thanks for this "bonus video", Peter! 🎉
Thank you, Frank! Been taking advantage of my "home" time to scour the archives. So much yet to do! :)
Lovely video. I enjoyed it a lot 😌😌. I'm sure you visited them too. This was a treat to watch, thank you Peter.😊😊
Oh, yes, I did, Deborah! SAGAFJORD was stunning despite some overwrought modifications. I documented her several times but probably best when she was the ROSE when I guest lectured during her penultimate cruise. The kind captain gave me complete access to the ship, which was such a privilege. Wishing you a wonderful 2024! :)
Muito obrigado pelo video e feliz 2024🎉🎉🎉
Thank you and Happy New Year! :)
Sagafjord! Day made
I loved the Sagafjord. She was part of that amazing year, 1965, with the advent of the Oceanic, Michelangelo, Raffaello, and Sagafjord. Purists might add the Queen Anna Maria. I was 15 & close enough to NYC to be able to visit each of them within weeks of their arrivals. It was almost the last hurrah.
That was quite a year! And with EUGENIO C and KUNGSHOLM yet to come! Thanks so much and Happy New Year!
This makes me miss the Celebration a/k/a Bahamas Celebration. Happy New Year Peter. 🎉
Anything with a Fjord in it is instant click bate. Especially the Sagafjord! It’s funny my late grandmother always hated the Bergensfjord and Oslofjord always sailing on the Stavangerfjord! Why cause she was perfect and the others two modern. Yet she loved the Saga Sisters.
Fantastic! STAVANGERFJORD was of course a great classic and beauty but I'm mad for OSLOFJORD and BERGENSFJORD (which was decorated by Tien Hoven, who did ROTTERDAM). Every NAL ship was gorgeous, just like the SAL ships were. Perfection afloat. Thanks for posting and Happy New Year. :)
