Saga Cruises has ordered a second newbuilding at Germany’s Meyer Werft in the latest move by the UK stock-listed company to renew its fleet.

The company confirmed today that it has exercised an option at the Papenburg yard for a near-1,000 passenger vessel to be named Spirit of Adventure.

A spokeswoman for the Folkestone-based operator told TradeWinds that price for the 58,250-gt vessel was still under discussion.
