In the early 1970's NAC issued separate cruise brochures by each cruises because they sold long cruises at the time though they begun to issue Vistafjord's all European cruises in the same brochure.
However RVL issued Cruise Atlas listed for all cruises up to 2 years sailings.

When Cunard was added new additional cabins in the 80s, Due to enlargement of Vista's Restaurant. Its Service Area was reduced and four cabins removed.

I initially liked Saga for her two deck dining room and then sailed on Vista and loved the ocean views from her dining room. Then Cunard took over and Saga got windows in the restaurant plus that fantastic double height.

In many brochures, Promenade deck cabins had a footnote saying there were steps leading up to and around them. I think this was shown in the Cunard brochures. Could someone explain what they meant by that?

These informations most useful for Whealchair Passengers when selecting the cabins.
