UK cruise operator Saga is now actively seeking a replacement for its ageing Saga Rose which is being retired from service at the beginning of 2010 because of the new SOLAS regulations.
Saga was hoping to buy Club Cruises’ Astoria and have her converted in Malta before entering service at the end of this year. However, following the collapse of Club Cruise, and the arrest of Astoria in Barcelona, the deal has run into difficulties. Saga even paid a 10% deposit for the ship and is advertising her in its latest brochure re-named Saga Pearl II.
Saga is now looking for another ‘classic’ cruise ship with a passenger capacity of between 550 and 650 passengers.
