What’s a Saga holiday like?

Saga proves you don’t have to pay a fortune for a first-rate cruise experience, and almost everything is thrown in. Transfers to the departure port are included for everyone on the UK mainland, with an unlimited luggage allowance to boot. 

Cabins (which all come with private balconies) were rated a full five stars, along with customer service and food and drink – with cocktails, speciality restaurants (from seafood to Nepalese) and even 24-hour room service (plus gratuities) all included in the upfront price. Only the paid-for shore excursions – beyond those offered for free – will cost you extra. As one happy customer put it: 'I felt safe and looked after from start to finish.’

Should I book with Saga?

Our top-rated cruise line is hard to fault. A high-end experience without the hefty price tag, Saga goes the extra nautical mile.
