Spirit sails to Saga

BRITISH cruise line, Saga Cruises, has taken delivery of its newest ship, Spirit of Discovery, after German shipbuilder Meyer Werft completed the newbuild earlier this month.

The ship features an environmentally friendly and resource conserving design, and is the first Meyer Werft ship to be built with the eSiPod fully azimuthing podded propulsion system developed by Siemens.

The cruise line will also welcome the 999-pax Spirit of Adventure in 2020, also being built by Meyer Werft.
