Still a Bank Holiday weekend and it's still sunny, the sun welcoming the Saga Ruby and the Balmoral to St Peter Port. Both were at the anchorages before 8.00 a.m and with markets in town today the guests should enjoy their short visit.
The Saga Ruby is in the twilight of her career as she will finish service in early 2014. After the QE2 sailed into retirement the Saga Ruby became a favorite of those that had enjoyed the Cunard liner, one of the last traditional looking liners she will be missed by many. Her Captains produce blogs of the cruises which give an alternative insight into the world of cruising, Saga Ruby Blog . She had her tenders already swinging out before she came to anchor taking full advantage of a short stop in the Island.
The Balmoral is the second Fred Oslen liner to visit in two days and is coming up on the anchorage marked by the Golden Spur, St Peter Port's Pilot boat. One of the advantages of this line from others is that they depart from a number of UK ports such as Glasgow, Bristol, Harwich etc
