The SAGA cruise ships SAGA ROSE and SAGA RUBY were docked in Lisbon on 14th May 2007 at the Alcântara terminal. It was the second time in 2007 that the two SAGA near sisters visited Lisbon on the same day, having been at the same dock also on 4 January.
Seen as two of the more elegant passenger ships afloat, they were constructed to the former Norwegian America Line as the SAGAFJORD (1965) and the VISTAFJORD (1973). After a stint under Cunard ownership, the two near sisters sailed once more as fleetmates under the colours of SAGA CRUISES until sold in 2010 and 2014.

Dois dos meus navios de passageiros favourites, os navios de cruzeiros SAGA ROSE e SAGA RUBY, aqui atracados ao cais de Alcântara, em Lisboa, a 14 de Maio de 2007, num de diversos encontros no Tejo. Eram navios bonitos, co cores queue só ampliavam a elegância de linhas clássicas. O meu preferido era o SAGO ROSE, antigo SAGAFJORD. Fotografei ambos muitas vezes, e com diversos nomes ao longo dos anos, vantagem de ter começado a fotografar na década de 1970, quando estes navios eram praticamente novos.
