Reviews Fabulous from door to door
Fabulous from door to door
Great service being chauffeured to the ship, so easy to board and find our comfortable cabin. Lovely caring and such helpful crew members all over the ship. The food was superb every meal. The destinations were beautiful and so clean and everyone was very welcoming. The entertainments were brilliant. We loved being able to walk everywhere though we did once or twice use the lifts. It was a great first time experience and we do look forward to next year and another trip.

Reviews Our first ever cruise - amazing!
Our first ever cruise - amazing!
This was mine, and my wife's, first ever cruise so we really did not now what to expect. From the outset, which was being picked up from home by a chauffeur, it went like clockwork. We were delivered at the port of Dover, where our luggage was whisked away, and we were processed at the check-in, which all went extremely smoothly, and then taken to our cabin which was really very, very well laid out, clean, and well lit too. All the information that we could have wanted was to hand in the cabin and indeed accessible on the TV there too, so we felt very well supported and not all left to stumble along alone. All the staff we met were so polite and helpful, and with the signage near the lifts it was fairly easy to sort out where all the restaurants and other places of note were located. We set off exploring the ship, and were amazed by the cleanliness and sparkle of everything we came across. That evening we went for our dinner fairly early on. The food was amazing, the service equally so, and this was so throughout our cruise. During dinner, being sat on a table of four, we learnt a lot from the other couple about the ship, and about the other restaurants and bars throughout the vessel. We made great use of the promenade deck for some fast walks, and indeed the Spa area for the sauna, steam room, and the hydro-pool; each time were were surprised to find very, very few people there - on the promenade deck or indeed in the Spa - normally just another couple or two, we reasoned that perhaps the average age of the passengers was probably responsible for that. However, the bars were well frequented by everyone in the evenings, and the entertainment we found there was very enjoyable. We took four excursions while in dock in Norway, and each disembarkation and re-embarkation was handled superbly by the staff - always going so very smoothly, which was amazing given that some of the passengers were not always that quick on their feet. The trips were excellent, and the ones that we paid for in addition to the others were very good value for money. At the end of the cruise the disembarkation was so well done, with us being matched with out luggage and our chauffeur for the return home within minutes of coming down the gangway! All in all, being treated like honoured guests for a week was a fabulous experience, one which we will definitely repeat as soon as!

Reviews Fascinating, well-planned and all inclusive
Fascinating, well-planned and all inclusive
Fulfilled a long- held wish to see the Dutch bulb fields in all their splendour. The weather was kind and daily trips onshore took us to a variety of interesting and delightful sites. Saga took great care of us. The cabins were comfortable and well cared for, the food plentiful and delicious and other cruisers pleasant. A bad time at the departure airport, with a 9-hour delay, but Saga still rescued us from a different airport, once back in the UK and ferried us home

Who should travel

Saga cruises appeal to both Generation-Xers and baby boomers, but only over 50s can cruise with the line (with a travel companion if they are over 40).

While both its ocean ships offer entertainment for guests, from classical concerts and full-scale West End productions in the 440-guest Playhouse Theatre to guest speakers and dancing in the Britannia Lounge, passengers used to all the bells and whistles and high-tech facilities of the larger cruise liners will find the offering slightly limited.

However, with lots of cosy and restful private areas, great dining options and spacious, inviting cabins, Saga ships offer an inviting home from home for Brits looking for some rest and relaxation on the cruise holiday.

Cruise destinations

Operating as a boutique cruise line, Saga cruise ships have the advantage of sailing to lesser-known ports and harbours that larger ships cannot reach.

Spirit of Discovery sails to the Baltics, the British Isles, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Canary Islands, the US and Canada. Spirit of Adventure offers voyages to the Norwegian fjords, the Mediterranean, the British Isles, the Caribbean, Northern Europe and the Canary Islands.

Whichever itinerary you opt for, rest assured that you are being treated to the best of the best. There's amazing culture and landscapes to be enjoyed, not to mention the calm of the sea, all from the comfort of a Saga vessel. Tea and scones, anyone?
