The Saga Sapphire sailed from Falmouth late last night and arrived in Guernsey for a half day stay. She spent her time in Guernsey anchored off Castle Cornet giving her guests a short tender ride to St Peter Port. Saga Sapphire joined the Saga fleet in May 2012 after her refurbishment in Palmero and was the first to appear in the new livery of Saga. The liner was launched in 1981 and became the MS Europa before undergoing many name changes before being transferred to Saga in 2011.
On departure for Dover, the Saga Sapphire headed south, with the Commodore Clipper in the background passing the Casquets off Alderney, the most northerly of the Channel Islands. The beaches on the north coast of Herm still look inviting even in these early days of September.
With Herm and Jethou forming a background these islands can be added to the list that Saga Sapphire has sailed by on this cruise including the Isle of Man, Isle of Mull, Orkney, and Skye on her Celtic Britain and Ireland cruise.
