SPIRIT OF DISCOVERY has launched!

What’s in a name?

Quite a lot when it comes to Spirit of Discovery!

We take a look at our new ship’s Naming Ceremony, a landmark day in the history of Saga Cruises.

A summer celebration

Tempting afternoon tea

Friday July 5, 2019. It was a historic day, many years in the making. The summer sun was shining down over the Port of Dover, the perfect setting for a garden party on the quayside.

500 guests were there to celebrate the first cruise ship to be named at the port in more than a decade.

As well as being a feast for the eyes, the guests’ palettes were also treated to a tempting feast. And what could be more British than an elegant afternoon tea? The delicious spread was created by worldrenowned chef Paul Gayler MBE and pastry chef Selwyn Stoby, who works in the royal kitchens at Windsor Castle.

Familiar faces

Let them eat cake

Saying cheers

Attending the day were many important figures for Spirit of Discovery; Jools Holland OBE and Dame Esther Rantzen. There were also familiar faces such as Saga’s former chairman Sir Roger De Haan, along with speeches from Saga’s top leaders, and a truly stirring performance from the Morriston Orpheus Choir.

The centrepiece was an incredible cake by master baker Mark Tilling. His creation was a scale model of the ship – over six feet long! As well as the food, a signature cocktail was also served to guests, called ‘Gin Gin’.

Speaking of drinks, award-winning English winery Hush Heath popped the corks on Spirit of Discovery’s very own sparkling wine. Hailing from Saga’s home county of Kent, the exclusive Spirit of Discovery blend is real British rival to champagne. Hundreds of flutes were sipped, but the biggest bottle was saved for Spirit of Discovery herself…

A smashing time!

A mechanical arm, loaded with a huge Jeroboam of the signature wine hit the navy-blue stern, and confetti erupted in a cloud, showering guests on the quayside.

Pomp and ceremony After the official naming, the Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Collingwood played, full of pomp and ceremony, and the celebrations continued long into the night.

So wrote AJ Oglesby of the ‘World of Cruising’, and who are we to disagree?

He went on to write, “Taking design cues from some of Britain’s top hotels and restaurants, including The Wolseley in London’s Piccadilly, Spirit of Discovery offers plenty of pleasing details... there’s no doubting this is boutique cruising at its finest.”

Why not experience Spirit of Discovery for yourself, and see what AJ Oglesby and many others have been getting so excited about.

There's never been a better time to try a Saga Cruise.

Our brand-new luxury fleet

Every cruise is all inclusive

In 2020, our fleet of brand-new cruise ships will be complete.

Launching August next year, Spirit of Adventure will join her sister ship Spirit of Discovery as the UK’s finest smaller ships. These boutique hotels at sea have been individually designed by top agencies SMC and AD Associates. While distinctly different, both offer the finest dining and entertainment, not to mention a balcony for every guest as standard.

From 2020, every cruise on Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure is all inclusive.

This means you can relax from the moment you step on board, without ever worrying about the bill. A glass of fizz as you sail away, wines with your meals, cocktails out on deck and a nightcap before bed… all are included at no extra cost. Cheers!

Boutique service too Aboard both Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure there are a minimum of two staff to every three passengers. So there will always be someone on hand to attend to you and make you feel at home. It’s our award-winning cruise experience, perfected.

Our promises to you You can book today with complete confidence. Not only do we guarantee you’ll love your first cruise or will refund your fare.

We also make a Cruise Price Promise on every booking!

So what makes Saga Cruises stand out from the rest?

There are so many reasons why cruising with us is different from other cruise lines. From all-inclusive drinks to our all-balcony cabins and included speciality dining, step aboard in 2020 and you'll enjoy all this.

Smaller is better

Fine dining at no extra cost

When it comes to luxury cruising, we believe smaller is better. Beautifully boutique, our exclusive ships offer a uniquely British way to cruise.

And because you won’t be lost in a crowd of thousands, you’ll receive personal service every step of the way. It’s also easy to enjoy our classic entertainment and activities.

Fine dining is one of the real pleasures of our boutique cruises.

Best of all, you can eat wherever you like, in a choice of restaurants to suit your every mood. This even includes our smaller speciality venues. It’s like having reservations at the best restaurant in town, every night. Only with us, there’s no bill to pay at the end of your meal. Even the wine and service charges are included at no extra cost.

A balcony for every guest It’s a real showstopper: every cabin on Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure has a private balcony for every guest. So whether you’re in the heart of a stunning Norwegian fjord or sailing around the sunny Mediterranean, you’ll have your own place to relax, enjoy the views and fresh air, and watch the sun set as you head to another incredible destination. At 215 square feet for a standard cabin, they’re also some of the largest cabins on the ocean wave.

So much to enjoy, day and night When it comes to entertainment and activities at sea, our ships are all about choice. Enjoy live musical performances in The Club by Jools or the Supper Club, take your seat for evening shows in the Playhouse theatre, or relax and meet up with friends in the bars or Britannia Lounge.

You can also visit the swimming pools, gym, or pamper yourself in the Spa. Whatever you want, you’ll be spoilt for choice, day and night.

Explore Ashore.

An exciting way to experience your destinations.

On our boutique cruises, what happens on the ship is only half the story. That’s where Explore Ashore comes in.

Part concierge, part tourist information hub, on every itinerary our travel experts will be on hand to help you plan your time ashore, exactly how you want it.

An exciting way to explore Explore Ashore is a new travel concierge service, led by our on-board team of experts. Whether it’s finding the best beach nearby or getting insider info on a local festival or event, you’ll find them at the Explore Ashore desk, ready to help you get the most out of your time on land. It’s another of the boutique features of cruising on a smaller ship.

Exciting excursions and more Of course there will still be a wide variety of exciting shore excursions to enjoy. Covering a range of interests such as local history, nature, food and walking, you can look forward to seeing the sights and really getting under the skin of your destination.

Look out for more unusual excursions too, such as small-group tours to castles closed to the public, private music concerts and live cooking with local chefs. Expect the unexpected!

Perfect for independent travellers More of a free spirit? Then speak to the Explore Ashore team for tips on how to see the sights under your own steam. We can even arrange private transport for you or a group of friends so you can do your own thing. But don’t forget, our shuttle buses are free of charge: they’re another great way to explore your destination independently.

Make more of our overnight moorings Sometimes a day just isn’t enough.

That’s why on many itineraries our Cruise Planners will have arranged an overnight mooring. It’s your chance to linger longer in port, and see more of your destination in the evening. Explore Ashore can help here too. From theatre tickets to reservations at a top restaurant in town, we’ll be delighted to make it happen.

Discover life aboard Spirit of Discovery.

Spirit of Discovery features the design cues, cuisine and levels of service you expect in the world’s finest boutique hotels, but on the ocean. Discover her range of main and speciality restaurants, grand public rooms and spacious cabins, all just waiting to be explored.

Spacious balcony cabins

Seafood perfection in Coast to Coast

At the heart of every boutique hotel are the bedrooms. And Spirit of Discovery offers some of the finest cabins afloat. At an average of 215 square feet, even the standard cabins are incredibly spacious and best of all, every cabin boasts a private balcony as standard.

So you’ll always have your own private outside space to enjoy, in every destination you visit.

Spirit of Discovery’s seafood restaurant is designed to showcase modern seafood cuisine: the best of British and locally-sourced fish and shellfish. Dishes are seasonal, and change according to what’s fresh in the destination you’re visiting. Choose from the signature seafood platter to share, along with a range of sauces and accompaniments. Or who can resist our tempting take on classic fish and chips, served with thrice-cooked chips?

Boutique dining at no extra cost Serving a variety of culinary choices at breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with complimentary house wines, the Grand Dining Room offers British and International cuisine, finely cooked and prepared by our team of expert chefs. The same dishes are served in the more informal Grill, which also has a verandah to dine outside. Open seating is the standard, as is exemplary service.

18

East to West, for spiced-up dining In the ship’s other speciality restaurant, your taste buds will be tantalised by the flavours of the Orient. But East to West is so much more. From sizzling Szechuan beef to five-spiced duck with black truffle, the menu offers a world of fine dining each evening, impeccably presented. No more than 73 other diners guarantees an intimate, boutique experience every time you visit.

Pictured clockwise from top left: The Terrace; Dine in East to West; The Spa.

The Club by Jools

The serene Spa

It’s a first for Saga: Spirit of Discovery’s final speciality restaurant has been created with music legend Jools Holland. Based on a 50s cabaret club, this elegant steakhouse restaurant is the place to enjoy dinner, followed by live music and cocktails, with resident and guest musicians entertaining until late.

The Spa is the perfect setting for a hydrotherapy pool, infrared sauna and steam room. From hot stone massage to facials, and manicures to hairdressing, it’s a little bit of heaven. Wherever you are in the world.

Sociable spaces She may be a smaller ship, but you’re sure to be surprised by just how spacious Spirit of Discovery is. Packed with sociable bars, lounges and even outside space, it’s easy to find your favourite area to play, relax and indulge. Like the South Cape Bar, the perfect place to relax with a tipple, meet up with friends, and to unwind after a busy day exploring another amazing destination.

Our first-ever theatre at sea Spirit of Discovery has another exciting first: our very own theatre. Raked seating for 440 guests means the best seat in the house is yours, wherever you sit. Expect colourful shows, live music, guest entertainers, cinema screenings and more. Or why not head to the wonderfully cosy Britannia Lounge for an alternative programme of entertainment, both day and night.

Join Spirit of Discovery on this voyage visiting four gems in this subtropical island chain to feel the blissful warmth of the winter sun on your skin. Beyond their sandy beaches washed by crystal-clear water, you can discover dramatic volcanic landscapes that shift from sand dunes to volcanic craters and towering mountains cloaked in forests, as well as charming colonial Spanish towns and villages that were founded alongside the discovery of the New World. Hunt down these sights and more on a host of exciting excursions, including a trek through the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Los Tilos Forest on the island of La Palma, and a new 4x4 tour heading off the beaten track through the mountain scenery of Gran Canaria.

Stargazing with Gary…

Gary Fildes will join you on deck.

Be thrilled by the otherworldly Northern Lights on Spirit of Discovery’s first foray into the Arctic Circle. Enjoy overnight stays in the ‘Arctic Capital’ of Tromsø and the most northerly destination on your voyage, Alta – both ideal places to spot the amazing aurora borealis. Alternatively, a tour of the tundra might coincide with a showing of the lights. A professional photographer will also be on hand to help you capture the phenomenon.

Other optional excursions include meeting indigenous Sami people in Tromsø to learn about life as a reindeer herder; an introductory ski lesson in snowy Narvik, where Saga passengers will have exclusive use of the nursery slopes and experienced skiers are free to go off-piste; and for wildlife lovers, there’s a unforgettable boat safari from Kålvag to watch white-tailed eagles soar above the ocean.

Look out for whales and dolphins from on deck with conservation charity ORCA. Explore ashore: View the Northern Lights in the wild tundra in the company of an Arctic explorer who will give a talk on the perfect atmospheric conditions for the phenomenon • Set out on a dog sledding adventure with the huskies of Tromsø’s Wilderness Centre then warm up in a traditional lavvu tent • Catch the cable car to the summit of Fagernesfjellet for outstanding views of Narvik and the fjords.

Join Spirit of Discovery on a classic voyage south to the sunny climes of the Canary Islands – it’s not for nothing that the Romans called them the ‘Fortunate Isles‘ thanks to their enviable fine weather all year round. Stop first at the Portuguese island of Madeira whose mountainous sights are yours to behold both day and night during an overnight in port – there’s even the opportunity to go stargazing! A trio of the most popular Canary Islands await your discovery next: Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. Contrast colonial cities with diverse volcanic interiors which vary from verdant forests to lunar-like landscapes. On your return journey home pause at El Ferrol, scene of fierce battles throughout the ages but now a portal to the lush Spanish province of Galicia. On board, you’ll be joined by an expert from who you’ll be able to learn about the exotic subtropical blooms which decorate this corner of the world. And if you’re feeling inspired, there will be a chance to capture the colour and beauty of the region during watercolour classes on board.

Discover what makes Scandinavia special as you cruise to three countries, visiting six different cities.

In Denmark experience the magic of Copenhagen and its famous Tivoli Gardens, the Rainbow Panorama of Aarhus’ ARoS Museum and the four monolithic sculptures of ‘Man Meets the Sea’ at Esbjerg. In Sweden, treat yourself to a little ‘fika’ time as you visit Gothenburg, while in Norway, Oslo beckons with its host of museums, stylish architecture, shops and more.

From furniture to fabrics, glass and lighting, Scandinavian design came to prominence during the early 20th century and continues to enjoy great popularity today. Distinguished by its simple, clean lines erring towards

functionality, distinctive prints and natural materials, Scandinavian designers included Alvar Alto – designer of the Kunsten in Aarhaus, and Arne Jacobsen whose designs for domestic furniture are still being used today. On your cruise look forward to talks from guest speakers on Scandinavian architecture, jewellery and the art scene.

Explore ashore: Experience the enchanting Tivoli Gardens by night • Discover the Rainbow Panorama artwork on the roof of the ARoS Aarhus Museum • Explore the romantic Frederiksborg Castle, Denmark’s Museum of National History.

Urban hill climbing For fantastic sea views, our Explore Ashore team say Marjan Hill in Split is hard to beat. This great city park is cloaked in a veil of dense Mediterranean pine and rises 180

metres above the Adriatic. There’s a steep path leading up it that’s lined with benches – so you can tackle the ascent in stages.

Valletta’s Mgarr World War II Shelter Hidden at the back of a restaurant lies the entrance to these astounding hand-dug tunnels which provided sanctuary for the residents of Mgarr during the Nazi blitz of Malta. At 12 metres deep and 255 metres long, it was one of the largest of its kind and offers a harrowing insight into what it must have been like.

Soldiers file into the water in hope of evacuation

A miracle of deliverance” – Sir Winston Churchill The world in which we live today was shaped by the success of Operation Dynamo. This seven-night cruise has been arranged to coincide with the 80th anniversary of this heroic mission. At the height of World War II the Allies were facing a monumental defeat at the hands of the rapidly advancing German troops, something Churchill feared would be ‘the greatest military disaster in our long history.’

With hundreds of thousands of troops penned along the northern coast of France and Belgium in May 1940, British military leaders decided their only option was to evacuate across the Channel. Learn how the operation was masterminded and carried out and visit some of the key locations involved, not least making a poignant visit to the

vast expanse of sand stretching to the east of Dunkirk where many thousands of lives were lost, but so many more were saved.

Explore ashore: Sail the English Channel looking out for the iconic White Cliffs of Dover • Venture onto the sands of Dunkirk where one of the most pivotal moments of World War II unfolded • Explore the labyrinth of tunnels underneath Dover Castle, from where Operation Dynamo was plotted.

Discover the breathtaking fjords of Norway – as wild and dramatic as the Vikings who once sailed them.

Your cruise takes you first to Sognefjord – Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, where the bordering mountains rise up, some to over a mile high. From Sognefjord you head for Bergen whose Bryggen – the old wharf area – is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you sail the blue waters of Hardangerfjord, be sure to have your camera ready to capture the scenery of this famous waterway. With useful tips and guidance on how to create the best images from onboard photography workshops, you can create beautiful images and lifelong memories of your holiday. Take in the tranquil and natural beauty as you cruise to Haugesund,

where the Viking Kings once ruled. This historic area is close to Avaldsnes, from where King Harald Fairhair created a united Norway in the 9th century.

From this historic location, start your return journey as your ‘horse of the sea’ heads home.

Explore ashore: Cruise Sognefjord, Norway’s longest fjord, to the Feigefossen waterfall • Take in the ‘smorgasbord’ of delicious seafood at Bergen’s Fisketorget • Ride the funicular railway up Mount Fløyen for panoramic views over Bergen.

A wealth of experiences and treasures await you as you cruise Baltic waters. From the extraordinary light of Denmark’s Skagen which inspired an artists’ colony to the opulence of St Petersburg’s famous Hermitage, discover the cultures, history and highlights of the Baltic region. Your cruise starts in Skagen – Denmark’s most northerly point – where the Skagen artists’ colony flourished for some 60 years until the 1930s. For music lovers, a visit to Helsinki offers the opportunity to explore the city where many works by Jean Sibelius – Finland’s most famous composer – were premiered. St Petersburg brings the opportunity to visit the famous Hermitage, home to some of the world’s most glittering art treasures, before contrasting its elegant and stately architecture with the historic streets and buildings of Tallinn in Estonia. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is regarded as one of Europe’s great medieval cities. Your cruise comes full circle as you return to Denmark for your final port of call at Esbjerg, distinguished by the sculpture ‘Man meets the Sea’ – four enigmatic nine-metre high figures that look out over the North Sea, watching as you begin the last leg of your journey.

It is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and in addition to the island’s main town of Kuressara with its picturesque 14th-century Castle, Angla Windmills area, and the Kali Meteor Craters, Saaremaa is also distinguished by having 40% of its total area covered in forests.

Meet the sea for yourself Head for the sea shore at Esbjerg and stand at the feet of the four nine-metre high seated figures that gaze out to sea.

This is the Mennesket ved Havet (Man meets the Sea) sculpture by Svend Wiig Hanson, its gravity and scale said to reflect the artist’s concept of ‘unspoilt’

man before he engages with life and nature. Dazzlingly white and monolothic in appearance, these giants of the shore provide an unmissable landmark and were created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the municipality of Esbjerg.

The Tsars at night Step into the world of the Tsars on an exclusive evening visit to the Hermitage.

After the doors close for the evening, join your guide on a private viewing of this famous museum with treasures which include artefacts from the ancient world, Renaissance, Impressionist and modern works of art, jewellery, and so much more.

Your visit concludes with a memorable performance by the State Hermitage Orchestra and a glass of Russian sparkling wine.

Sailing is a way of life for Greenlanders and there is no better way to see this striking and engaging territory than on Saga’s first Greenland cruise for a decade. This is the type of cruise for which Spirit of Discovery was built. Every cabin has a private balcony so whether you are sitting with a coffee watching the stunning scenery glide by, or you’re on a shore excursion, walking through rocky fields with a small group of your fellow passengers, there’s something for everyone. This itinerary has been planned in close co-operation with the local pilots and takes you away from the tourist trail to see the real Greenland and its people. You can explore tiny picture-book towns and investigate its Viking heritage, all while enjoying seeing the natural wonders of the Arctic Circle and some breathtaking wildlife too.

You will cruise along the picturesque passage of water known as the Prince Christian Sound where crystal clear waters reflect the rugged and imposing mountains looming above. You can head off the tourist trail to experience the remote tranquility of the Eternity Fjord and contrast that to the hustle and bustle of ‘big city’ life with an overnight stay in the capital, Nuuk, home to more than 14,000 people.

Explore the gastronomic delights of France and Spain when the local food and drink is ripe for the taking during this summer cruise. Spirit of Discovery will cruise up the Garonne to Bordeaux which has rested on its banks for centuries and prospered from the fruits of the surrounding vineyards. Being alongside overnight means you can explore its diverse food scene after dark or you can join us during an exclusive dinner at a local château whose cellars are built into a natural cave. Continue along the lush shores of northern Spain, famous for its hearty produce, and where a smorgasbord of flavours will tantalise your taste buds: sample Basque pintxos, Galician wine and freshly-caught seafood in La Coruña. Plus, you’ll be joining Spirit of Discovery in visiting two new ports for Saga Cruising, San Sebastian and Marin. Indulge your appetite for adventure during independent exploration too – perhaps seek out the chic retreat of Ile de Ré from La Pallice – or on excursions visiting medieval Oviedo and enchanting Mont Saint-Michel. Of course, your exploration of the local food and drink will continue on board as our chefs delight in creating delicious dishes with ingredients sourced locally. This will be complemented further during cookery demonstrations and wine pairing advice from VIP food and drink experts.

In October last (1902), my friend 'Carruthers' visited me in my chambers, and, under a provisional pledge of secrecy, told me frankly the whole of the adventure.” (Preface – Riddle of the Sands) ‘Riddle of the Sands’ by Erskine Childers was published in 1903 and is regarded as one of literature’s best espionage novels.

Pilgrimage to the New World A cruise 400 years in the making....

New Lower Fare!

Take a stroll through Central Park in NYC

This is an East Coast US cruise with a difference, allowing you to immerse yourself in the foundations of modern America.

Look out for whales and dolphins from on deck with conservation charity ORCA. Overnight stays • New York City • Baltimore • Bermuda.

A whole New World • Cross the Atlantic Ocean as historians bring the original voyage to life • Learn about the typical food and drink which would have sustained the Pilgrims 400 years earlier • Sail in to Provincetown Harbor, just as the Pilgrims did • Take the opportunity to visit the first settlement in Plymouth and experience life in the early 17th-century in a ‘living museum’.

On this cruise of a lifetime, follow in the historic wake of the Pilgrims who sailed from Plymouth aboard the Mayflower in search of the New World. To mark the 400th anniversary of their epic voyage and the founding of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts, join the commemorations on both sides of the Atlantic and relive the story which shaped the foundations of America. You will get the chance to spend the anniversary of the departure in Plymouth, along with visiting world leaders, dignitaries and a stunning flotilla of international warships.

Fear not, for you there will be no arduous two-month crossing in cramped conditions; you will cruise in the lap of luxury to the Eastern Seaboard of the United States and pay Saga’s first-ever visit to Provincetown Harbor on Cape Cod. You can look forward to an overnight stay in New York City, plus a visit to Martha’s Vineyard, known as a playground of the rich and famous from the Kennedys to the Obamas. On an overnight stay in Baltimore, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the capital of the United States. Home to an abundance of stunning architecture, moving memorials, government institutions and history, Washington DC will leave a lasting impression, and our Explore Ashore team are on hand to help you make the most of your visit. You will also stop overnight in Bermuda and visit Madeira on your way back to the UK.

Take a tour around Spirit of Adventure.

Our second new ship is set to wow and amaze at every turn. Her contemporary look has been masterminded by world-leading design firm AD Associates, who have designed some of the world’s finest hotels, restaurants and luxury real estate. Continuing that tradition, our new ship is an elegant sister ship to Spirit of Discovery, but with a character very much her own.

Welcome aboard…

The main restaurants

A grand atrium will greet you as you step aboard Spirit of Adventure, set at the heart of the ship.

Close by is The Living Room. This elegant bar and seating area is the perfect place to meet up with friends during the day. At night, it becomes a sociable bar and entertainment space.

Serving a variety of culinary choices at breakfast, lunch and dinner, the main dining rooms offer world-class cuisine, finely cooked by our team of expert chefs. Enjoy British and International dishes in The Dining Room, the ship’s classic main restaurant. Or for a fresh alternative, head to The Grill. Here you can dine inside, or outside on a wonderful verandah. In both restaurants open seating is the standard, as is exemplary service.

All-balcony, all luxury Just like her sister Spirit of Discovery, our new ship offers some of the finest accommodation at sea.

Every cabin has a balcony, without exception.

And standard cabins are 215 square feet, making them effortlessly spacious and inviting.

Their high-spec bathrooms are also exceptional, and every cabin also comes with complimentary Wi-Fi access, 24-hour room service and a whole lot more, all included at no extra cost.

58

Khukuri House, a new taste of the East Spirit of Adventure will introduce a world first: a Nepalese restaurant on the ocean wave. You can expect fresh flavours that are light and beautifully spiced. Genuine tandoor ovens mean our chefs can create curried meat, fish and vegetable dishes along with authentic Nepalese flatbreads. Saga’s hometown of Folkestone has strong links with the local Gurkha community, and Khukuri House is an ode to this history and heritage.

Picturd clockwise from top left: The Living Room; The Playhouse; The Spa Pool; The Amalfi speciality restaurant.

The Amalfi, high-end Italian cuisine

The Playhouse theatre

Rivalling anything you’ll find on land, the ship’s second speciality restaurant offers Italian-style fine dining. Look forward to a mouth-watering menu of Mediterranean dishes, with an emphasis on Tuscan preparation. This includes ‘family-style’ sharing platters of antipasti along with pasta, risotto, parmigiana and arancini. Plus, a daily specials board to give an Amalfi twist to fresh locally-sourced fish and meats purchased in port that day.

Following the tradition of Spirit of Discovery, this ship also has her very own theatre at sea.

The Playhouse offers plush seating for 444 guests, and offers colourful shows every evening, along with cinema screenings, live music and even matinee shows on sea days. Raked seating ensures everyone has the perfect view, every time.

Relax in the sumptuous Spa Our brand-new Spa is everything you’d expect from one of the world’s finest boutique hotels.

There’s an inviting hydrotherapy pool, thermal beds, a steam room and even an infrared sauna, all perfect for pampering and pure indulgence. Next door is the Salon, for even more pampering, should you want it.

So much more The theatre is just one of Spirit of Adventure’s entertainment spaces. Day and night, you’ll be spoilt for choice, with shows in the Britannia Lounge, crafts and activities in The Library, and even live music in the Supper Club. This speciality restaurant is also a live entertainment venue, with its own grand piano and stage, perfect for our line-up of guest musicians on every cruise.

Set sail on this 12-night cruise and contrast the dishes and great variety of wine which define France with those of Spain and Portugal. Beginning at Montoir, from where you can visit the beautiful Loire Valley and medieval Angers, perhaps you’ll opt for a wine tasting session in the wine-producing estate of Brissac-Quincé Castle.

In Spain take the opportunity to tuck into tapas, walk along the magnificent Roman walls of Lugo and drink wine from a bowl in Pontevedra. When in Portugal, taste the delicious port wine of Oporto or volunteer for gardening duties at the fragrant fields of Cantinho das

Aromaticas. Your cruise, which will be enhanced by our on-board VIP guest chef and wine expert, also includes a visit to the island of Guernsey with its beguiling fusion of French and English culture.

Explore ashore: Discover the beautiful public gardens, iconic riverfront, world-class restaurants and the array of splendid architecture in Bordeaux • Visit the fragrant fields and nurseries of Cantinho das Aromaticas in Vila Nova de Gaia • Savour a delicious lunch served in authentic medieval surroundings at the Brissac-Quincé Castle estate.

The splendour of classical antiquity can be seen throughout the Mediterranean, as you’ll discover for yourself on this cruise which reveals some of history’s best sites. You’ll see Phoenician and Roman remains, a palatial Moorish fortress and masses of Renaissance and baroque architecture in Málaga. Follow in the footsteps of the Knights of St John in Malta before uncovering the ancient myths and legends of Greece and its charming islands, including Karpathos, holy Patmos and Lesbos. A visit to Crete’s Palace of Knossos brings you closer to the story of King Minos and the Minotaur. While in Piraeus perhaps learn more about the Greek gods on a tour of Delphi where temples were built to house the statues and offerings to the God of the Sun. An overnight stay in Piraeus also gives you the opportunity to spend an evening in Athens, where the iconic Acropolis will look magnificent lit up by floodlights. Your time aboard Spirit of Adventure will be just as exciting as your days spent ashore with a variety of on-board activities, selected to enhance your cultural experience of Greece and the ancient world.

Are you brave enough to visit the Palace of Knossos, court of King Minos, where the legend of the labyrinth originates?

An evening in Athens Make the most of an overnight mooring in Piraeus with an evening visit to Athens where the inviting cafes and bars of the lively Thissio district are the perfect place for a nightcap. Choose your venue carefully, as some are sure

to offer views of the Acropolis, which looks magnificent when lit up against the night sky.

Olympos by bus The peaceful island of Karpathos is possibly the least commercialised of the Greek islands. Go in search of island traditions on a scenic bus ride from Pigadia station to the hilltop village of Olympos, a living museum where ancient traditions are upheld by its residents. You may be lucky enough to spot people wearing traditional dress.

Experience an awe-inspiring sunset through the palm trees of Barbados during an overnight stay, sip rum punch on a tropical island paradise off the sandy shores of Anguilla, enjoy a fiery limbo show to the sounds of the steel drum in Trinidad and dare to swim with stingrays in the crystal-clear waters surrounding Antigua. These are just a few of the activities available on this memorable cruise to the sunnier climes of the laid-back Caribbean. You’ll cross the Atlantic, pausing at Ponta Delgada in the Azores en route, before discovering the vibrant cultures of eight contrasting Caribbean islands. Perhaps visit the Barcardi Rum Distillery during a rare visit to the port of San Juan in Puerto Rico, call at the ‘Isle of Spice’ – Grenada – for lively local markets, and on the island of St Kitts admire the dazzling scenery on a leisurely ride aboard the St Kitts Scenic Railway or, if you’re feeling adventurous, on a hike through the tropical forests. Your return Atlantic crossing reveals more of the beautiful landscapes of the Azores with a stop on the island of Faial where churches, museums and the landscape-dominating Caldeira awaits you. During your cruise you can also experience more Caribbean culture on board in the form of music and dance by local performers, talks on the region’s history and traditions, and the chance to sample food and drink Caribbean-style.

How low can you go?

Enjoy the unmistakable sounds of the steel drum and watch a lively performance of limbo, where dancers will literally bend over backwards to keep you entertained!

Saga Sapphire, elegant, classic boutique cruising.

Saga Sapphire combines classic elegance with contemporary style.

From her fun Beach Club to quirky Drawing Room, she offers extra amenities and ways to enjoy your time at sea. Here’s a little taste of what makes her such a well-loved character.

Saga Sapphire is a lovely ship with very good, well thought out public areas. The décor is very tasteful with some beautiful features and quirky artwork.”

Paul and Helen Flight, Lincolnshire

So much to enjoy

Evening entertainment

Despite her smaller size, Saga Sapphire is packed with things to do. Meet up with friends in the bars, swim in one of the two pools, attend a fun talk, or try your hand at a class with our on-board experts.

Or who can resist pampering yourself in the Spa?

Night time is a special time on the ship, as singers, bands, celebrity guests and the ship’s own production company all take to the stage for dazzling evening entertainment.

Enjoy the varied shows in the Britannia Lounge, or head for the Drawing Room for a quieter more relaxed programme. The choice is always yours.

The Beach Club With its traditional British seaside vibe, the Beach Club is a great place to soak up the sun, swim and enjoy an ice cream.

Perhaps grab a handful of boiled sweets or an ice cream, and tuck into fish and chips too!

76

Your home from home After a busy day on board and ashore, Saga Sapphire’s spacious cabins are your own private haven where you can relax. Offering some of the biggest standard cabins afloat at an impressive 220 square feet, they’re a real highlight of the ship.

Pictured clockwise from left: Enjoy complimentary speciality dining; Relax in the Drawing Room; Be pampered in the Spa; Relax at The Beach Club.

Divine dining

Try the Verandah

Fine dining is one of the big attractions of cruising on Saga Sapphire. The ship’s main restaurant, Pole to Pole, is a sophisticated space to socialise and enjoy exceptional dishes of game, meat and fish, not to mention fine wines and a selection of irresistible desserts.

Our chefs change the menus daily, often using local ingredients to bring a taste of your destination to the table.

If you’re looking for a more casual dining experience, look no further than the Verandah and Grill. Here you can pop in for a Continental breakfast, buffet-style lunch, or waiter-served dinner prepared as you watch in the fabulous open kitchen. It’s also fantastic to dine al fresco when the weather’s fine.

East to West For something a little different, reserve your table at East to West, the ship’s free speciality restaurant. Here you can experience a taste of Asia as waiters serve up the best Oriental flavours in a medley of Asian-influenced dishes.

My favourite place on Saga Sapphire is the Drawing Room. Nothing beats the wonderful views, homemade cakes, comfy seating and delightful musicians creating the perfect ambience.”

Essential Information

All reservations are subject to Saga’s booking conditions which will be sent to you with your holiday confirmation and are available in advance upon request by calling us on 0800 504 505 for Saga ocean cruises, 0800 302 9015 for non-Saga ocean cruises or 0800 300 600 for all other holidays or visiting our website travel.saga.co.uk. The holiday contract is subject to English law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. You may however choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you live there and wish to do so. The holiday contract is created 14 days following your receipt of the written holiday confirmation.

Price: Holiday prices can be influenced by taxes such as (where relevant) air passenger duty, aircraft insurance, security, fuel and other associated costs. Our prices are affected by these, as well as exchange rates, suppliers’ costs and economic trends. The guide prices shown in our brochures are based on current charges and costs but they may go up or down. We reserve the right to alter the price of any holiday in our brochures or introduce supplements at any time, and will notify you of the current price prior to any booking – please call us or visit our website for the most up-to-date prices.

Our holidays, and the prices at which they are advertised, are (where relevant) based on flight availability and a limited number of specially negotiated prices at the time of going to print; they are always subject to availability and supplements may apply. You will be advised of any differences to any elements of the holiday, including the price, before your booking is confirmed.

After you’ve made a booking, we can only change your holiday price in very limited circumstances relating to the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. In any event, we guarantee that there will be no change to the price within 20 days before the date of your departure (unless you amend your booking). We can only increase the price of your holiday if there has been a change in the cost of the carriage of passengers resulting from changes to the cost of fuel or other power sources, the level of taxes or fees imposed by third parties including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports or exchange rates, each as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. We will also absorb, and you will not be charged for, any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You may be charged for the amount over and above that. If this results in an increase equivalent to more than 8% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel you must do so within the time period shown on your final invoice and we will provide a refund of insurance premiums paid to us if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy.

Should the price of your holiday go down due to the cost changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid to you. We will deduct from this refund our administrative expenses incurred. Please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.

We reserve the right not to be legally bound in the case of incorrect pricing and acknowledgement of such an error does not mean acceptance of it.

Special offers: In the case of discounted prices and other special offers, please note that there are only a limited number of places available at the special offer prices. We reserve the right to reduce, extend or withdraw the offers at any time, without notice.

What we describe: We have planned to use economy class on flights (where relevant). Advertised amenities, included and optional excursions, entertainment and activities may change or become unavailable. We will notify you of any known changes at the time of booking. Final details of optional excursions will be provided in the passenger itinerary or shore excursion booklet sent to you before you travel although we cannot guarantee they will be available during your holiday.

Please also note that changes may be made to the particulars within the brochure at any time after publication.

Price Promise (Saga Pearl II, Saga Sapphire, Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure only): Should we ever reduce our prices or bring in a new special offer after you book (optional ad-hoc services are excluded), we’ll work out the difference and pass the value of the saving back to you. This applies as long as the discounted holiday is exactly the same package offered under exactly the same terms of sale (which means the full terms that apply to your holiday contract, including your cabin grade and whether your cabin is allocated at the time of booking or at embarkation). In calculating any possible saving due, we’ll take into consideration all offers and discounts that were applied at the time of booking and compare the overall price that you’ve been charged with the current price. We will pass on the value of the saving in the form of a higher grade cabin, on-board credit or other value added benefit.

Age qualification: Saga holidays are for anyone aged 50 and over. A travelling companion or family member travelling with you may be aged 40 or over.

Paying for your holiday Deposits: When you make your booking, you must pay a deposit payment. The following deposits are payable per person when you book your holiday: Europe and the Mediterranean holidays and river cruises – £150 or 10% of the holiday cost, whichever is the greater; Long haul holidays – £175 or 10% of the holiday cost, whichever is the greater; UK holidays – £60 (plus £8.50 if you require the optional insurance and additional cancellation rights – see below); Ocean cruises – £200 or 15% of the holiday cost, whichever is the greater, up to a maximum of £1,000; Oberammergau 2020 – An initial deposit of £200, plus a further deposit of £400 is payable 300 days before departure. Certain holidays may require an additional or higher non-refundable deposit or full payment. You will be advised if this is the case at the time of booking.

Balance: The balance of the price of your travel arrangements must be paid at least: 90 days before departure for Saga ocean cruises aboard Saga Sapphire, Saga Pearl II, Spirit of Discovery or Spirit of Adventure; 56 days before departure for holidays in mainland Britain of five nights or more; 28 days before departure for holidays in mainland Britain of less than five nights, and for Christmas and New Year holidays in mainland Britain; 75 days before departure for all other holidays unless otherwise stated at the time of booking and on your confirmation invoice. Unless you are otherwise advised, bookings made after the balance due date (as set out above) must be paid in full at the time of booking and we cannot confirm your booking until full payment is received. Payments can be made by credit card, debit card, cheque or Direct Debit (where available). If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we reserve the right to cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time, we shall retain your deposit to cover costs incurred.

NHL-SC2276 CRUISE June 2019

Card and cheque fees: There is no charge for payments made by debit card, credit card or American Express. Each cheque is subject to a £3 administrative charge and should be made payable to Saga Holidays with your name, address and booking reference written on the back. Please send cheques to Saga Holidays, Enbrook Park, Folkestone, Kent CT20 3SE. Pay by Direct Debit: If you choose to pay for your holiday

by Direct Debit (where available), the Direct Debit Terms & Conditions will apply, for more information visit travel. saga.co.uk/direct-debit Your financial protection and peace of mind:

Some of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays in this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed in this brochure. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected.

Please see our booking conditions for information, or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.caa.co.uk.

ST&H Limited and Saga Cruises Limited provide full financial protection for their package holidays.

1. For flight-based holidays this is through our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 0308 issued by the CAA of 45-59 Kingsway London WC2B 6TE www.caa.co.uk, telephone 0333 103 6350, email claims@caa.co.uk. When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where we aren’t able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).

If we are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable).

You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

2. When you buy a package holiday that doesn’t include a flight, protection is provided by way of a bond held by ABTA – The Travel Association of 30 Park Street London SE1 9EQ www.abta.com, telephone 0203 758 8779, email customerprotection@abta.co.uk. For further information, please see www.abta.com. Calls from UK landlines cost the standard rate, but from mobiles may be higher. Check with your network provider.

Please note that items not purchased through Saga will not be protected.

ST&H Limited is also licensed by the Irish Commission for Aviation Regulation (Licence No. T. A. 0598) to carry on business in the Republic of Ireland as a travel agent.

Insufficient bookings: If we need to cancel your holiday due to insufficient support we would do so before the balance due date.

Optional ad-hoc services: We provide you with the option to specifically request extras which are in addition to, or adaptations of, our standard packages. Prices for optional ad-hoc services such as extensions, extra accommodation, upgrades, additional flights that are not part of a standard Saga allocation and domestic flights (‘ad-hoc service’) can vary depending on when you book. Please note that adding an ad-hoc service may result in additional non-refundable charges to our standard packages due to changes in flight dates, changes to our standard allocated accommodation periods and additional costs passed to us from third party suppliers. They may also result in an additional or higher non-refundable deposit being payable. You will be notified of the total price of your holiday and any increase to your deposit prior to booking.

Passports and visas: You will need a valid passport for all overseas holidays featured. As requirements vary and can change without notice, we strongly advise that your passport is valid for at least six months after the end of your holiday.

We recommend that you have at least three blank pages in your passport to cover potential immigration formalities which may be required in some countries. If you are a full British citizen resident in the UK, for the majority of destinations, if required, Saga will obtain your visa or tourist card free of charge (postage is not included). We will advise you at the time of booking where you are responsible for obtaining your own visa. For Chinese visas, Saga will send you the paperwork and you will be responsible for purchasing your visa. If you are aged 71 or over at the time of application, you can purchase your visa online. If you are aged 70 or under, you will need to purchase your visa at a Chinese visa centre. For Russian visas, Saga will obtain the paperwork and you will be responsible for purchasing the visa at the Russian visa centre. Should you be unable to obtain a visa for whatever reason and as a result are unable to travel, our usual cancellation fees apply. For passengers cruising into Libya, a group visa will be issued on arrival in Libya for all holders of UK passports, allowing you to go ashore independently and on an organised shore excursion only. Passengers holding a US or Swiss passport will not be able to enter Libya. Passports must be valid for at least six months and must not contain evidence of a visit to Israel. For passengers cruising into Algeria, a group visa will be issued prior to arrival for all holders of UK passports, allowing you to go ashore on an organised excursion only. Because of this, all Algerian excursions must be pre-booked. Passports must be valid for at least six months and must not contain evidence of a visit to Israel. It may be necessary for you to arrange your own individual visas for independent travel in some ports. Full details of the process will be provided with your booking confirmation. An application pack will be sent to you approximately 60 days before you travel (90 days for Russia).

In order to obtain your visa, it is important that we receive your passport and any applicable documentation in good time before your holiday starts. If you return these documents late, you may incur an additional charge. For further information

about passports and Saga’s visa service call Saga on 0800 525 290 or email visa@saga.co.uk. If you are telephoning from outside the UK, please call +44 (0)1303 771138 (please note that this is not a freephone number). It may be necessary for you to arrange your own individual visas for independent travel in some ports. If you are not a full British citizen resident in the UK, you must confirm your nationality or status at the time of booking. Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements.

Travel advice: The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice Unit provides up-to-date advice and safety information for British nationals travelling abroad. Please visit fco.gov.uk/travel for further information. The EU publishes a list of airlines that are subject to an operating ban within the European Community. To view it go to www.europa.eu and search for ‘banned airlines’.

Health formalities: We will advise you with your holiday confirmation of any vaccinations that are required as a condition of entry to the country(ies) that you are visiting.

We recommend that you consult your doctor at least 12 weeks before departure, and they will advise you about any other vaccinations required. You may also wish to refer to government health advice for your destination at fco.gov.uk/ en/travel-and-living-abroad/travel-advice-by-country/ or call the 24-hour phone line 0845 850 2829 – calls cost 4p per minute with BT; other network prices may vary. Please note: In the interest of health and safety of fellow passengers, it is a condition of travel on our cruise ships that passengers must use the hand sanitisers provided when embarking and disembarking, and while on board, the ships.

Mobility and assistance: Cruise ships have a limited number of cabins adapted for use by those with restricted mobility and are limited as to the number of disabled passengers or passengers with reduced mobility that they can carry. Cruise lines reserve the right to refuse the carriage of any person if carrying such a passenger would breach applicable safety requirements or law. Cruise lines also reserve the right to refuse carriage if the design of the vessel and/or the port infrastructure and equipment would make carriage unsafe or not operationally feasible. Cruise lines reserve the right to require that a disabled passenger or a passenger of reduced mobility is accompanied by another fare paying person capable of providing assistance to ensure compliance with any applicable safety requirement or law or if the design of the vessel and/or the port infrastructure and equipment means that a disabled passenger or person of reduced mobility cannot be carried in a safe or operationally feasible manner without the assistance of another person. Please advise us at the time of booking if you or any member of your party has reduced mobility, require a specially adapted cabin or would require assistance in an emergency, or as soon as possible before departure should there be a change in circumstances. If you do not inform us of such a condition we will not be liable if any airline or cruise line refuses to accept you or any member of your party as a passenger. In the same respect, for land based holidays we need to be made aware of any special requirements that may affect your holiday as our representatives will only be able to provide support in an emergency. Under European law, if you are disabled or have difficulty moving around, you can receive assistance when you fly. This free service is available to anyone with mobility problems, for example, because of your disability, age or a temporary injury. To take full advantage of the service you need to book at least 48 hours in advance of your flight.

Please contact us as soon as possible prior to departure. You can also visit our website travel.saga.co.uk. Please note that personal daily care cannot be provided by any member of the ship’s staff.

Food allergies or specific dietary requirements on cruises: If you’ve got any food allergies or specific dietary requirements, it is important that you advise us at the time of booking. It is also essential that you make the maître d’ aware of your allergies or dietary requirements after arriving on board and ask for information about ingredients before eating. Cruise guests are also reminded that any required medications should be kept with them at all times.

Data protection: Any personal data you provide will be held securely and for the purpose you have provided it, in accordance with data protection legislation. We may need to disclose personal data to a third party including outside the European Economic Area (EEA) for the purpose of providing your holiday. In addition, your data may be disclosed to regulatory bodies or public authorities, such as customs or immigration, for the purposes of monitoring and/or enforcing compliance with any regulatory rules/codes; and it may be used for marketing, offering renewals, research and statistical purposes and crime prevention. Where you provide information about another person, we accept it on the basis that you have their permission to give us access to their personal data (including special category personal data) and that you have told them who we are and what we will use their data for, as set out above.

If Saga has obtained your permission to do so, they will also contact you by post, telephone, email or other means to tell you about offers, products and services that may be of interest to you. At any time you can opt out of receiving such information, revise the products you would like to hear about or change the method they use to communicate with you.

You can update these preferences by calling 0800 092 3665.

Offer cannot be combined with any other offer, and are for a limited time only. Please see the cruise pages for more information and call for full details.

Sold out cruises and advance registrations If you are interested in a cruise that has sold out, call the team on 0800 504 505 and we will take a few details to register your interest. Then, should any cabins become available at a later date, we will get back in touch with details of how to book.

Alternatively, if you’re interested in cruises not yet on sale, why not make an advance registration? Call 0800 068 8731, and for a fully-refundable deposit of £90 per person, you can register your details in advance. Then, before the cruises go on general sale, we will contact you to confirm your booking.

How our discounts work On all cruises we set aside a number of cabins within each grade at a discounted fare, with the highest discount of 35% available on selected grades.

These cabins are sold on a first come, first served basis. As cabins are sold, the discount begins to reduce, and continues to reduce, until those selected cabins are sold. This means that the earlier you book, the higher the chance of securing a greater discount. Our price panels clearly show the full cruise price, along with the current discounted fare.

Please note: During busy periods for holiday bookings, the early booking discount can reduce rapidly, and although the price panels are correct at the time of going to press we cannot guarantee that the discounted fares will still be available when you call to book. Our Cruise Consultants will be able to advise the best fares when you call. This brochure includes cruises which have been previously advertised at a discount, therefore the cabin availability at the offer prices may now be limited. We recommend that you book early to benefit from the best booking discounts and to secure your preferred cabin and grade. When promoting new cruises for the first time, we contact customers on our Advance Registration list first, allowing them to secure the cabin of their choice and benefit from the best savings. Our brochures are then sent out to loyalty club members first, followed by past cruisegoers and then everyone else.

Our Price Promise Should we ever cut our prices or bring in a new special offer later on, we’ll work out the difference and pass the value of the saving back to you.

Please note: This applies as long as the discounted holiday is the same package offered under the same terms of sale (which means the full terms that apply to your holiday contract, including your cabin grade and whether your cabin is allocated at the time of booking or at embarkation). Optional ad-hoc services are excluded.

In calculating any possible saving due, we’ll take into consideration all offers and discounts that were applied at the time of booking and compare the overall price that you’ve been charged with the current price. For cruises, we will pass on the value of the saving in the form of a higher grade cabin, on-board credit or other value added benefit.

Guarantees The traditional way to book a cruise is to reserve your cabin number at the time of booking. However, if you’ve decided what type of cabin you want, but don’t have a preference for a particular cabin or bed configuration, then our Inside/Outside Guarantees on Saga Sapphire or our Standard Balcony/ Single Standard Balcony or Single Superior Balcony Guarantees could be for you. You are guaranteed the minimum grade cabin in the category shown, just not the specific cabin. This will be allocated to you later on, sometimes as you embark the ship. If you choose not to accept your allocated cabin, which could be located anywhere on the ship, this is treated as a cancellation. There is the chance you may be upgraded, although this is subject to cabin availability and in no way forms part of this offer. Note that twin cabins may have two single beds or a double bed. To see the prices of our Guarantees, look out for the ‡ symbol in the price panels.

Insurance policy Because it’s important to be adequately insured when you travel abroad, we offer optional comprehensive travel insurance, underwritten by Great Lakes Insurance SE, UK Branch, and additional cancellation rights with all our overseas holidays. If you are suffering from, or in the last 12 months have suffered from, an illness that has required treatment from a doctor, you must advise us and we’ll confirm whether you can be covered under this insurance. A full summary of the optional travel insurance will be provided with your booking confirmation. Cover is available to UK residents only and subject to medical screening. Terms and conditions apply. If you have your own insurance, we will offer you the holiday at a lower price – please call for further details.

Love it first time Available to guests that have not previously cruised aboard Saga Rose, Saga Pearl, Saga Ruby, Quest for Adventure, Spirit of Adventure, Saga Pearl II or Saga Sapphire, and are booking their first Saga ocean cruise aboard Spirit of Discovery, Spirit of Adventure, Saga Sapphire or Saga Pearl II. We guarantee you will love your first cruise, or will refund your fare! To take advantage of the guarantee you must state your intention on board to the Hotel Director during the first 72 hours of your cruise at the latest (for cruises seven nights or over; during the first 48 hours for cruises under seven nights). They will endeavour to resolve any issues; if a solution cannot be agreed, Saga will cover costs for your return transport home at the next available port, and refund the fare that you have paid for your cruise (we will not refund any costs you have incurred for items not purchased directly through Saga, such as overnight accommodation or third-party insurance). The guarantee does not affect Saga’s standard booking conditions or pre-departure cancellation policy. Further terms and conditions may apply.

Save 10% when you book a second cruise Why not stay on board for longer? You can make a further saving of 10% off the price of each consecutive cruise you book. This discount is off the current fare at the time of booking, after any other offers have been applied. It makes a longer voyage greater value for money. Please call for details.

Great for groups Did you know that Saga regularly takes groups of friends on cruises every year? If you enjoy each other’s company, are in a club or society, or have a special occasion to celebrate, contact our Group Travel Department to see how we can help. There are so many benefits with travelling together, including free places for one person in ten, subject to terms and conditions. To talk about your plans, give our friendly Group Travel Consultants a FREE call on 0800 300 666 or email group.travel@saga.co.uk today.
