Saga Shipping, also known as Saga Cruises is a British based cruise line, a division of the Saga Group. ==History== The Saga Group decided to start operations of a holiday branch by purchasing the ''Saga Rose''.〔(Saga Rose )〕 She operated generally as Saga's flagship until her fairly similar ex fleet mate the ''Saga Ruby'' was purchased from Cunard Line in 2005.〔(Saga Ruby )〕 For the summer of 2003, Saga Cruises chartered the 1989 built MV Minerva which sailed as the ''Saga Pearl''. The ''Saga Rose'' was retired after a final 37 night Mediterranean cruise. She was subsequently laid up at Gibraltar and later scrapped in China.〔(Saga Rose to set sail for the Final time )〕 While on her final cruise a planned 31 night Caribbean cruise, the ''Saga Ruby'' had one of its generators fail which disabled the ship's air-conditioning plant. It was then decided cancel the cruise and sail a revised Western Mediterranean itinerary, returning to Southampton on January 9, 2014 due to poor weather. While in Funchal, Madeira the ''Saga Ruby'' met up with the ''Saga Sapphire'' for a New Year's Eve fireworks display. After her cruise, she departed for Gibraltar leaving Southampton for a final time on January 10, she was handed over to her currently unknown new owners on January 13, 2014. Currently Saga Cruises operates the ''Saga Sapphire'' and the MS Saga Pearl II 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saga Cruises」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
