Crystal Symphony & Saga Sapphire

Two cruise liners today for St Peter Port with the Saga Sapphire arriving from Falmouth, and the Crystal Symphony arriving from Dover on a scheduled visit instead of her recent change of itinerary from Jersey two days ago. The guests must be all ashore as the decks of the Saga Sapphire look strangely empty.

One of the last tenders heads backs to the Saga Sapphire as the workboat from the nearby island of Jethou brings the workers home at the end of their day. The liner has not had a good 2014 with a loss of power off the Island of Mull and then another power problem a few days later as she was starting a transit of the Kiel Canal. She does look rather immaculate though in this later summer sunshine, shortly before her departure to Dover.

This Crystal Symphony left just ahead of the Saga liner heading for Bordeaux on the west coast of France, she should arrive their tomorrow teatime
