In the evening onboard Saga ships, while heading to the next destination before dining, enjoy an aperitif in onboard bars, or work up with pre-dinner dance classes. At formal nights (one for a week-long cruise, two for a 14-night cruise) enjoy the feeling of occasion. Later take your seat for a show, go dancing, watch a film or socialize with friends - you may even enjoy a nightcap accompanied with live music in the inviting lounges and bars. Saga Cruises offers both Ocean and River cruise travel vacations. The cruising experience is classic, elegant and comfortable.

Our first-ever boutique ship has been making waves since her launch in 2019. Next timelapse video shows some phases of the vessel's construction process.

Despite being our youngest Master he has been "messing around in boats since he could crawl", and has worked at sea professionally for almost 15 years, including service as a Chief Officer for P&O and Cunard ships such as QM2. These elegant smaller ships carry no more than 987 guests on each cruise. It means a less-crowded atmosphere, and high levels of personal service with one member of staff for every two guests. In the spa you, of course, have traditional spa treatments, a pretty big salon area, a large steam room and sauna area and a great hydrotherapy pool area.

In June 2018, Saga Cruises signed a partnership deal with Jools Holland (English pianist, singer, BBC TV presenter) for "The Club by Jools" steakhouse restaurant. By the 5-year partnership deal (until 2024), at the Jools restaurant are performed live music and its bar is designed like a cabaret lounge from the 1950s. The dinner-only restaurant's menu features classic steaks (fillet, T-bone, ribeye, tomahawk steaks), live music performances (by resident and guest musicians) and premium cocktails. On Lido Deck is The Verandah Restaurant that consists of Bar and Grill with separate indoor and outdoor seating areas.
Across the Norwegian Sea is a Landscapes of Greenland and Iceland cruise on Spirit of Discovery departing on June 29, 2023 for 17-nights. Both awash with natural wonders, the arrival into Greenland is a breath-taking 60-mile passage along the Prinse Christian Sound, with mountains on either side, some of which reach over 7,000 feet. The tours showcase the best of the region and the communities that thrive in this beautiful but inhospitable environment. Departing Tilbury, the cruise takes in Isafjördur, Grundafjördur, Reykjavik (Iceland), Qaqortoq, Narsarsua and Nanortalik (Greenland) before calling at Scrabster (Scotland) on the way home. For the new ship series, Saga employed the designer company SMC Design, which has extensive experience with cruise vessel design. Among SMC Design's customers are also P&O Cruises UK (Sindhu / Indian restaurant), Viking Ocean Cruises (Explorers Lounge), NCL (Mandara Spa).
These are actually two restaurants combined into one, with self-service buffet lunch and waiter-served dinner. Open-kitchen allows passengers to watch ship's chefs preparing the food during their galley (kitchen) show. Ship's team of Executive Chefs serves the all 5 onboard restaurants.

My travel life spans more than three decades and that includes more than 95 cruises. In 2005, I launched Tips for Travellers to make it easy and fun for people to discover, plan and enjoy incredible cruise vacations. I have the largest cruise vlogger channel currently on YouTube, with more than 3 million video views per month. The second thing that struck me about the ship were the dining options. Saga is all-inclusive andall of the dining, both speciality dining and regular dining, is included within the fare.
Saga Cruises Spirit of Discovery Review. The Best Things About The Ship
Itineraries are usually longer than a week (as most passengers are retired), extending up to world cruises that can last 100 days or more. Passengers are mostly elderly Britons with a few North Americans joining the mix. I grew up in Zimbabwe, but I have been based in London since 1987.
There are seven dining options, including three new-to-the-line venues, on Spirit of Adventure. The follow up to Saga's 2019 new build, Spirit of Discovery, the 999-passenger ship will make its debut in July of 2021. Spirit of Adventure was originally due to launch in August 2020, but the date had to be pushed back because of uncertainty around global travel due to the coronavirus pandemic. Saga has long followed the tastes of its British clientele with departures from UK ports, currently Portsmouth, Dover and Tilbury, mostly to the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Scandinavia, and around the UK. Spirit of Discovery’s arrival marked the line’s exclusive tie-up with musical maestro Jools Holland, who performs on selected sailings, and one-off appearances from celebrity chefs and well-known names, including Alfie Boe. Spirit of Discovery is not for party people, gamblers, fitness freaks or shopping addicts -- but the ship should serve Saga well, with plenty of appeal to Gen-Xers as they sail into their 50s and into the cruise line’s sights.
A series of refits and refurbishments added new cabins and balconies, updated interior decor, overhauled machinery, and repaired and repainted the hull. A key feature in the boat’s construction keeps cabins in the front, farthest away from engine noise, and ceilings higher than standard heights. Details like soundproofed walls, a domed pool, and illuminated closets improve the ship’s more recently inconsistent standing as a seaworthy vessel.
