Although our cruise choices are by no means exclusively with Saga, we chose this cruise as we have enjoyed several cruises with them in the past and this one particularly suited us having recently had a few health issues to cope with. We're never quite convinced that Saga's all-inclusive offering is the value for money they claim it to be but the fact that (nearly) everything is paid for in ...

We wanted some winter sun and friends had recommended Saga. We had never sailed with them before but do prefer smaller ships to the large monstrosities that the 5-6,000 passengers. Very good journey to Portsmouth and very smooth embarcation, our cabin was ready when we boarded. The cabin was very clean and the bathroom adequate the only negative was the lack of room in front of the wardrobe. The ...

The ultra all inclusive service by Saga was the main attraction when booking , transport door to door , insurance , excursions were excellent . On arrival the time from being dropped off at the terminal to eating lunch in the open sitting Grill was less than 20 minutes . Booking the included alternative dinning was no problem booking the 3 venues for out 14 day cruise . The food without ...

I am writing this from a disabled passenger's point of view. We chose this company because of its reputation for caring for those who do not move so easily. The taxi arrived at the promised time and we loaded it up with our cases and aids. The journey from Cheltenham to Portsmouth has an estimated time of around two hours. The morning was very wet and unpleasant. Shortly after we set off I ...

Last year we went on the Discovery same time similar itinerary, and I gave it 5 stars for everything, so we were happy to book this cruise on her sister ship. Transfer to ship excellent, boarding ok, cabin only had one chair and one tooth mug ,soon sorted, first disappointment , no art classes only craft, never mind not a deal breaker, first shower, flooded the whole bathroom floor, used all the ...

This was our first cruise with Saga. Door to door service was excellent, the driver telephoned the day before our outward journey to confirm pick up time, he arrived on time and with a short service station stop we soon arrived at Portsmouth. Check in was quick and efficient, short ride on shuttle bus to ship, slight blip with gangway and tide but we soon boarded. We were shown to cabin ...

Last month we took our second Saga Cruise on Spirit of Discovery. It was not meant to be because we had originally booked to sail on the third voyage of the new Oceania Vista to celebrate our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. But when we were on our first Saga cruise last August we were told that Vista would be late being delivered and our cruise for May 2023 was cancelled. My wife looked ...

I went on this short cruise for 4 things. Good nights sleep, Excellent food, onboard entertainment , and outside of Saga's control , good weather. I picked this cruise to try out Portsmouth as a cruise terminal. This was excellent, The negatives started in the cabin, I had the same cabin on Discovery just before Covid struck. I was not impressed with the bed then, too hard, and I had asked for a ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

For some time we have thought about a Saga sea cruise, we are of an age when we thought we would be the right age demographic, i.e. mid 60’s and the thought of being picked up at the door and taken to the port by a liveried chauffeur rather than suffer the tedious queueing and waiting at an airport, being herded around like cattle and paying a fortune for parking was something of a draw. The ...

Being picked up from home is such a joy. Taken to Portsmouth, checked in and shown to the Grill for our lunch whilst the luggage was being taken to our room. We had been on the sister ship last time so thought we would try this one plus a bit of warmer weather would be good in winter. The staff were excellent as usual, food selection was vast and very tasty. Entertaining was good, could ...
