When Sagafjord was under NAL/Cunard, all of the teak deck were varnished. Looked awful! Slippery as well. When Saga got her the set to work to remove. Took a lot of work, but it was worthwhile. On the afterdeck, the 'games deck' for shuffle etc, they kept that section varnished. A good exam

Gripsholm in name but Sagafjord in reality. The brief period after Cunard had disposed of the ship when she sailed for Transocean and prior to becoming Saga Rose. A most unfortunate livery, which would not have suited any ship.
