Saga Sapphire entering in the port. 
This ship was built in 1981 in Germany by Bremer Vulkan for Hapag-Lloyd Cruises as MS Europa. Before being bought by Saga Cruises this lovely vessel served in four different companies and had 5 different names. In 2011 was purchased by Saga Cruises  making her the newest vessel in Saga fleet. For an 33 years old  vessel she is in a very good shape. :)
