Saga Ruby
Page 3 - Photographs in Saga Service
This page is devoted to photographs of the Cunard liner
Caronia, ex-Vistafjord
. Postcards of Vistafjord/Caronia in both
Norwegian America
and
Cunard Line
service are available
on this link
.
Vistafjord
was completed in April 1973 by Swan Hunter (Wallsend, River Tyne).
Vistafjord
was 24292grt and carried 830 passengers on Atlantic crossings, 550 when cruising. She was powered by two 9cyl Sulzer diesels totalling 24000shp. In 1980, she and
Sagafjord
passed to Norwegian American Cruises (NAC), 90% owned by NAL. In 1983, Trafalgar House acquired NAC, and the ships joined the Cunard fleet,
Vistafjord
retaining her name. In 1999, Cunard renamed the
Vistafjord
as
Caronia
. By this time she carried 736 passengers and tonnage had increased to 24492 following additional cabins on the upper deck.
Caronia
was sold to Saga Cruises, entering service with her former fleet-mate
Saga Rose
as
Saga Ruby
in 2005.
