About Saga Sapphire
Saga Sapphire was built by Bremer Vulkan in Bremen and entered service in January 1982 as Hapag-Lloyd's Europa, later sailing as SuperStar Europe, SuperStar Aries, Holiday Dream and Bleu de France. Saga bought her in 2010 and, after an extensive refit at Fincantieri that added balcony cabins, put her into service in April 2012. Saga retired her as part of its fleet renewal, and her sale to the Turkish tour operator ANEX Tour was completed on 18 June 2020; she now sails as Blue Sapphire.
