The BELLA and the BEAST...

Cruise ship AIDABELLA departing from Lisbon's Santa Apolónia terminal  on 21 December 2012 passing the SAGA SAPPHIRE.

The former EUROPA of 1981, the new flagship of SAGA CRUISES replaced the original ship, the SAGA ROSE ex-SAGAFJORD and looks now a classic ship although her funnel livery does not help making her look beautiful. I wish she had a yellow funnel like her fleet mates... Any way she is the beauty of the picture while the BELLA is more of a sort of a beast... Those ships have a gap of almost thirty years in terms of cruise ship design...
