Saga MS Amadeus Elegant - Shore excursions and activities

Excursions are a great way to see more of the places you visit. Most excursions have an experienced guide who’ll answer questions and tell you lots of fascinating facts and stories about the place you’re visiting.

Choose from a selection of included and optional excursions planned by our expert team.

If you'd rather explore ports independently, a shuttle service is included where the town isn’t within walking distance of the ship. On selected river cruises interactive maps and audio headsets are provided in selected ports for exploring independently.

Saga have walking grades which show how much walking our excursions involve on our river cruises:

Grade 1 – It’s your choice: for example, a panoramic coach tour where you can choose to walk at photo stops.

Grade 2 – Minimal walking: up to about 1,600 feet or 500 metres on mainly flat terrain.

Grade 3 – Moderate walking: between 1,600-5,000 feet or 500-1,500 metres on mixed terrain. There might be steps.

Grade 4 – Considerable walking: more than 5,000 feet or 1,500 metres over uneven terrain with lots of steps.

Grade 5 – Strenuous walking: long distances trekking over rough terrain with hills and steps.

Complimentary bikes on board

Away from the normal routes there are also many wonderful sights that are worth the extra trek. What better way of getting to know a country and its people than hopping on a bike and gliding along at your own leisurely pace? You can borrow one of our onboard bikes, free of charge, if you wish to be independent ashore.
