Finding your way through the deck naming system takes some getting used to, as well; some decks have names and letters, so A, B, C, D and E, as well as Main Deck, Promenade Deck, Lido Deck, Sun Deck and Observation Deck, rather than numbers. Of the lettered decks, A deck is the highest and E the lowest. If you’re trying to count the decks in your mind while trying to decide whether to take the stairs of wait for the lift, sometimes it’s easier to visualise them as numbers, E being deck 7, D deck 8 and so on. Our ever-popular autumn cruise across the Atlantic visits the USA and Canada in 2024. You can enjoy the stunning ‘Fall’ scenery as you explore New York and Boston, before rounding Cape Cod to Martha’s Vineyard.
Included excursions
Spirit of Discovery visits the Holy Land for the first time in 2024. Discover some of the archaeological treasures of Paphos en route to Israel, where Ashdod, Haifa and Jerusalem will be key highlights. The Nov 1st voyage included a flight from the UK to Funchal (Madeira), boarding there Saga Pearl 2, and the home flight from Lisbon back to the UK.
New ships
If you want to cruise on Saga and you’re out of the UK, make sure that you connect through with Saga in the UK. They have the Playhouse Theatre, which can seat 440 at one time. They have production shows in the evening and have guest artists.

The next thing that I thought was really good, and struck me about the ship, was just how much space and effort was focused on the whole area of wellness. The other thing which they have, which I think is great, is the Library. It’s not only a great looking venue, where they have 3,500 books in an enormous library, they have self-service teas and coffees here, but they have a couple of really interestingthings. They have an enormous craft area, and they run classes on jewellery making and paper crafts. Bridge and card playing is very popular on board, so this dedicated card room which can hold up to 40 people at one time.
It also employs social hosts to organise special events for anyone travelling alone, with Singles Mingle drinks parties as an ice-breaker on sailings and a Singles Lunch. Special meet-ups on port days also enable singletons to join up on shore excursions. She offers the same levels of comfort, service and value as her sister-ship, exclusively for Saga guests.
Entertainment had to be rescheduled quickly to distract people from early dining and ease the pressure. The same happened at breakfast, with overcrowding in The Grill, but plenty of space in the Grand Dining Room. Five years in the planning, the 58,250-ton Spirit of Discovery is Saga Cruises’ first new build. The line’s mission was to create a luxurious, "boutique" ship for British cruisers, with a balcony for every guest and interiors inspired by hotel design.

There’s an outdoor sports area, and they have a Fairway golf simulator. One of the things I really wanted to talk about solo cabins. 20% or 109 cabins on board the Spirit of Discovery are solo cabins.

Subsequently, the ship was laid up in Gibraltar and scrapped in China in 2010. In 2014 was acquired Saga Ruby (former NCL ship MS Vistafjord), which last voyage was in January 2014. Every cabin has a balcony as standard, for your own private views of every destination you visit.

Get ready to embark on exciting adventures next year, with our brand-new 2025 season of all-inclusive river cruises now on sale. Saga commissioned one design firm, SMC Design, to do all the interiors, which has paid off as there’s a pleasing theme of continuity onboard rather than a hotchpotch of different ideas, which can jar on some cruise ships. You’ll find nothing garish, no phony themes and no gimmicks. Everything from the fabrics used to the 1,000-piece, £1million, art collection is a gentle celebration of things British. Plus, all our cruises include a return chauffeur service, taking you to your departure port, and home again at the end of your cruise. Our boutique ships will also visit some ports of call for the very first time, including the ancient Greek island of Hydra and Chania on the isle of Crete.
A sumptuous sanctuary for relaxation, The Spa is a place of beauty, delight and wellbeing. Designed in neutral tones with warm colours, this wellness retreat exudes a timeless elegance. Featuring six treatment rooms, a thermal suite, and salon, Saga’s signature spa concept is an all-encompassing collection of curated moments.
These brand-new sisters are smaller ships carrying no more than 999 guests, and thanks to clever interior design, are spacious inside. Beautifully designed with guests in mind, an array of grand public rooms includes a showstopping theatre, five restaurants, and large outside areas. A private balcony for every cabin is included, along with all-inclusive drinks and speciality dining.
On select cruise itineraries, you will be entertained by celebrities. But the best part of all is that with no children on board, kids' games arcades or clubs taking up space, everything aboard is designed for your pleasure. Among the signature venues onboard are the Britannia Lounge (2-level Atrium bar lounge), The Verandah (specialty restaurant) and an outdoor (alfresco dining) restaurant.
Couples account for the bulk of passengers, though Saga is popular with single travellers (many widowed) who make up more than 20 per cent of guests. With more than 100 single balcony cabins on each of its ocean ships, Saga claims to have the widest selection at sea. Saga Cruises is renowned for wrap-around touches that cocoon guests as they leave home, with chauffeur-driven transfers to and from ports and travel insurance, both included in the price, and the loyal and friendly crew. Highlights of Spain and the Balearics departs on May 6, aboard Spirit of Discovery and on September 24, 2023 on Spirit of Adventure for 15 nights from £3,234 per person. Lisbon and Spain’s Atlantic Coast on Spirit of Adventure departs on May 14, 2023 for 12 nights with prices from £2,767 per person. SAGA's free shuttle bus service is available if you want to explore independently - the shuttle will take you to the nearest city center or town.
Combined with departures from UK ports on smaller ships, the cosy ambience has long struck a chord with single travellers in particular. And our Cruise Price Promise means you’ll always enjoy the lowest fare. So if you book today and we lower the price tomorrow, we’ll automatically work out the difference and give you the value of the difference. Our exclusive ships include a main restaurant, while selected ships include a smaller alternative restaurant to, all included. There are a few niggles, some of which can be put down to teething problems.
The wellness-themed 16-night "Exotic Morocco and the Canary Islands" itinerary featured outdoor yoga classes, guided hikes, tours in Lisbon and Funchal, Madeira Island. Ports of call are announced once the ship is berthed, but there is a shore trip included in every port. The Saga Pearl II ship's 12-night "Contrasts of the Canary Islands and Cape Verde" cruise (prices from GBP 1980) departed from Southampton on November 1, 2017.
