Saga Cruises Cruise ship Saga Ruby in the Solent heading for Southampton on her Farewell Cruise. She is retiring in December 2013
Saga Ruby is the last cruise ship to have been built in Britain. The 24,292-ton vessel, originally called Vistafjord, was built in the Swan Hunter yard at Wallsend on the River Tyne for Norwegian America Line. The company was bought by Cunard in 1983, and the ship was re-named Caronia in 1999.
Saga bought the vessel in 2004 and spent an estimated £17 million on a refit carried out at Valletta, Malta. For five years she sailed under Saga's colours alongside sister ship Saga Rose, which was slightly smaller and had been launched as Sagafjord for NAL in 1965.
