Page 1: Sagafjord/Gripsholm
-
-
- This page
is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Norwegian America
Line (NAL) cruise ship Sagafjord. Sagafjord - Page 2 shows her career with Saga Cruises
-
- 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 24002 grt 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.
