Spirit of Discovery - Entertainment

No Saga ship would be complete without our signature Britannia Lounge, and it’s an exciting, multi-purpose venue where you’ll always find something to see and do.

Located on the Lido deck, it’s a double-height venue with panoramic windows looking out and over the front of the ship, offering some of the most impressive views the ship has to offer.

In a nod to Saga Cruises’ legacy, the ship features a large, fully-glazed observation lounge, just like our first-ever ship, Saga Rose.

During the day, take part in a wide range of engaging events, classes, performances and quizzes, or sit back whilst admiring the view. Then, later at night, it comes alive with dancing and live performances.

Spanning the full width of the lounge is an impressive bar area, where you can choose from the ship’s full range of drinks, or enjoy waiter service from your comfy seat.

Soak up the ambience in La Vie en Rose at The Club with a cocktail at the bar.

The 'hub' of Spirit of Discovery is the bright and inviting Living Room. Greeting you as soon as you step aboard, this vibrant, sociable venue is the place to meet friends, grab a coffee, or relax with an after-dinner cocktail.

Open day and night, it serves gelato, fresh pastries and homemade cakes. In the evenings, the Living Room is a sociable bar with occasional light entertainment, open until late. The perfect place for pre and post dinner drinks.

With the style and ambience to match anything found in London, Spirit of Discovery’s main bar is superbly designed with an art deco influence.

This stylish venue offers our full selection of wines, draught craft beers, and a curated collection of fine whiskies. Or for gin connoisseurs, there’s a varied list that’s as stylish as the bar’s elegant wood panelling and leather chairs.

Spanning the width of the ship, the South Cape Bar windows look out onto the wraparound promenade on both sides, for amazing views inside and out. It’s a great place to relax with a tipple, meet up with friends, and to unwind after a busy day exploring another amazing destination.

Did you know? The South Cape Bar is a tribute to our cruising heritage: it was the name of the main bar on Saga Ruby, launched in 2005.

The Library is a quiet, relaxed space located at the top of the ship’s atrium, and is another of the ship’s artful delights.

The Library feels like an artisanal coffee-shop, thanks to its self-service area with freshly-ground coffees and teas, and a tempting selection of cookies and snacks, replenished throughout the day. It’s also the perfect spot to log-on to the ship’s free Wi-Fi, research your next port of call, and catch up with family and friends back home via email and Facebook.

Set within the surrounds of The Library you’ll find two additional spaces: the Craft and Card Rooms. These extend Spirit of Discovery’s areas to socialise, entertain and inspire.

Spirit of Discovery features our very own theatre at sea, called The Playhouse. Comfortable, raked seating is available for 444 guests, meaning you will enjoy the best seat in the house wherever you sit, with unrestricted views of the stage. In The Playhouse, expect a quality entertainment experience, every night of your cruise. This includes colourful and energetic live shows, cinema screenings and music performances.

The venue is also the place to enjoy talks and lectures from our roster of guest speakers, enriching your cruise experience.

The Card Room is essential for any card related game enthusiast. Join in with organised bridge lessons and tournaments on selected cruises, or simply use it to play card games however you wish.

Not only is Spirit of Discovery a state-of-the-art ship, she also houses amazing art inside. Our team have been working behind the scenes for several years, commissioning painters, sculptors and graphic artists to create bespoke pieces for the ship, showcased throughout the public areas. British artists have been given a major focus, combining classic artworks with contemporary pieces. In addition, you can also visit a dedicated art gallery on board. Located next to The Playhouse theatre entrance on Promenade deck, it houses a permanent collection of exciting art. The Gallery will also be used to display new art exhibitions at sea, featuring an exciting line-up of up-and-coming artists in Britain.

This elegant ‘secret’ garden area is the perfect setting to enjoy the fresh air any time of the day. Expect it to be especially inviting as you sail away, when you can watch the sun set into the ocean while sipping a cocktail.

The Terrace also offers easy access to Spirit of Discovery’s full-length wraparound promenade. This encircles the ship and offers the chance to enjoy walks in the sea air, relax on the soft loungers and chairs, and simply let the world pass beautifully by.

Did you know? Stroll four times around the promenade and you’ll walk a mile – so you don’t just have to use our wellbeing services to keep fit and healthy on your cruise.

The shopping experience aboard Spirit of Discovery is as unique as the ship itself. Take advantage of tax-free purchases on selected cruises including clothes, bespoke fine jewellery and watches, and the services of a private jeweller offering unique hand-crafted pieces. There are also perfect gifts for every occasion, and personalised pieces exclusive to Spirit of Discovery. You’ll also find a range of the latest fragrances, cosmetics and skincare from some of the world’s most renowned high-end brands. Or if you’ve forgotten an essential item, you’ll also find a wide range of everyday products, toiletries, drinks and snacks in our smaller port shop by the entrance.

In the centre of the Promenade deck you can step into the world of Saga, without having to leave the ship. Meet and chat with our friendly consultant about Saga’s range of travel and lifestyle products.
