  • Short Video of the Glorious M.S Sagafjord passing the equally glorious M.S Vistafjord in the Caribbean Sea in 1990.
    Hear those HORNS!
    Sadly the Sagafjord has now gone to the scrappers. The Vistafjord still sails as the Saga Ruby.

    Beautiful ships, worked at Sagafjord as a Youngman in '77

    Sad, but both are gone forever. Sagafjord (later Saga Rose) was scrapped in 2010 and Vistafjord (later Caronia, Saga Ruby and Oasia) was scrapped in 2017. They don't make ocean going beauties like these anymore. Modern cruise ships look more like boxes.

      Hope Saga Pearl 2(former Astor, Arkona, Astoria and Quest Of Discovery) and Saga Sapphire(Former Europa,Superstar Europe, Superstar Aries, Holiday Dream and Bleu De France) don't end up the same way when they retire

      Not if they become a hotel, like the Queen Mary in Long Beach and the QE2 in Dubai. I visited both ships and it was great!!!

    A fantastic piece of video! I was aboard Vistafjord on this voyage too, and experienced this rare event of sister ships passing at full speed and close quarter. Alas, I had no video camera but I did take some photos, which you can find on my website (see my profile for the details)
    Thanks so much for posting this!

    My uncle worked on the Sagafjord between approximately 1988 and 1990, he was a sailor. I hope I find photos of the crew and see him.😢❤

      Absolutely agree, miss seeing ships that looked the part and were seaworthy too. Carnival Sunshine at 102,000 tons could not handle 20ft seas lately!
