The Saga Rose is a 'classic liner' cruise ship operated by Saga Cruises of the United Kingdom. It was launched in 1965 as the Norwegian America Line's Sagafjord, and was long operated by the Cunard Line. Well-maintained and known for its stately interior and classical swept bow, it now operates worldwide on cruise tours targeted at the senior market.[1] It has also been named Gripsholm during some parts of its existence.[2]
