Saga Cruises Reviews

Spirit of Adventure Baltic Cruise June 2022 This was our second cruise on this one year old Saga ship the first being in January to the Canaries. We have previously cruised ships mainly frequented by a more international demographic and were initially reticent to try Saga before the two new " boutique " ships were brought into operation. The new ships offer an all balcony smaller ship ...

This was our first cruise with Saga, having only done one other cruise on the Queen of Elizabeth to Norway nearly 3 years ago. Once we had navigated through the covid tests the welcome aboard was excellent with a crew member showing us to our cabin. We had booked a standard cabin on D deck which was fine although we could have done with more drawer space. The stewardess who looked after some of ...

We chose the cruise to try out the newish Saga vessel for a cruise to the Med in good weather with several interesting ports of call all of which the cruise provided. While the crew, food wine were excellent the experience was badly let down by the fact that the open aft decks were for much of the time filthy with greasy black soot spots. It didn't seem to matter what the wind direction /speed the ...

In fairness the cabins & waiting staff have been wonderful, however our dreadful experience occurred in the Britannia Lounge when our party of six tried to move a chair - the young lady Hostess (Ms P) stormed over to our table and was most aggressive saying we couldn’t sit together and then went to call security, we had very politely tried to explain we were allowed to seat together as a group of ...

We sailed on the beautiful Spirit of Discovery on the 27th of April on the 15 night “Baltic Ensemble” cruise. We were collected from home using Saga‘s marvellous chauffeur service. The vehicle was spotlessly clean and the driver confirmed that he had taken a Covid test that morning and was negative leaving us feeling a little safer. The chauffeur was very attentive and informed us that we could ...

I chose this cruise line mainly for the newness of the ship the small ship ,which we prefer the home pick up and return and all inclusive. Very smooth pick up very slick covid testing both lateral flow and PCR . Living near the port we were not picked up until late and didn't get to our cabin until 4.45 pm. At 5pm life boat drill happened and by time we had unpacked it was gone 6.30pm So ...

Hoping this was going to be the “Trip of a Lifetime” we were bitterly disappointed right from the start, a three quarter of an hour wait in a queue to be covid tested at the docks was a little frustrating to say the least. The staff at the port refused to carry my wife’s Dress Carrier stating that they might “damage it’ Once we were in the cabin which was very acceptable we decided to explore the ...

The way we were treated by Saga Management means we will never travel with Saga again. Tested at Southampton both LFT and PCR and embarked on Spirit of Adventure. First impressions are very good. The ship was beautiful, the cabin was spacious and well appointed. Public areas are immaculate and staff well trained and attentive. However, once the ship had set sail, we were informed by the ...

We booked this Cruise on the 25 January 2022 as a special birthday celebration which included visiting Sicily and Sardinia the highlights for us. We paid the total, but confirmation of my Travel Insurance was not included until we heard from the Insurance Department. We did receive a call from Saga and gave the requested information. We were told we would be contacted from another colleague. ...

We were really looking forward to this cruise and actually changed cruise line to travel with SAGA as we had loved SPIRIT OF DISCOVERY last year. Sadly, had a couple of passengers isolating from a back to back cruise to Norway just prior to embarkation. Those cases increased rapidly after sailing despite very tight testing and isolation protocols on board. We left the Azores, hopeful that numbers ...
