Spirit of Adventure and Spirit of Discovery- From Dream to Reality

The Spirit of Adventure and her sister ship, the Spirit of Discovery, have the distinction of being the only purposely built medium-sized cruise ships designed exclusively for the British cruise market. Beautifully designed and superbly built, the ships are stunning examples of what can be achieved when you have a company that only wants the best for its guests and brings together the finest British talent in ship construction and interior design. In complete contrast to the mega resort ships that most of those in the cruise industry are introducing, the new Saga Cruises’ ships carry less than 1,000 people on each individually tailored itinerary, offering space, comfort and opulent luxury to those who expect more out of their holiday. This book charts the creation of these magnificent ships from their initial conception and construction at the world-famous Meyer Werft Shipyard in Germany, right through to their delivery and spectacular naming ceremonies in the United Kingdom.
