SAGA ROSE uncertain future






The classic cruise ship SAGA ROSE arrived Southampton on her final cruise for SAGA CRUISES on 6 December and departed for Gibraltar the following day without any clues about her future and speculation that her final destination may be Alang.
She is due in Gibraltar on 12 December, so she must be "cruising" off the Portuguese coast today...
Two other passenger ships of the 1960s have recently been sold to India for scrapping: the DALMACIJA of 1965 was beached on 10 December in Alang while SALAMIS GLORY is on her way to Alang now. She was the last ex-Brazilian liner, the ANNA NERY of 1962.

Há uma certa nostalgia nessa eventualiddade. Terá sido isso também o que aconteceu ao navio Flamenco, rebaptizado New Famenco, em que naveguei há sete anos? Gostei muito dele, mas já não está no activo, ao que dizem...
