Dear guests, At Saga Cruises, we understand the world has changed. But in this ‘new normal’, we are excited to return to service, and to welcome you on board for one of the cruises included in this brochure. We are different from other cruise lines, and proud of it. Our brand-new sister ships Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure are small and welcoming, with a maximum capacity of just 999 guests, both beautifully designed and built with our guests in mind. Yet both ships are still spacious, packed with large public areas and restaurants, a theatre, and numerous outside spaces. These exciting, modern, British ships offer a boutique style of cruising that is unique to us, including a private balcony for every guest. We pride ourselves on doing everything properly, taking care of all the little details from the moment you leave home, and throughout your time aboard the ship. I have always said ‘nothing is too much trouble’ for our guests, and it is amazing how my team makes this happen. This ‘Saga service’ is what sets us apart from other cruise lines. Another area where we exceed is value for money, and you will notice we include so much in the price, much more than you would ever expect. From all-inclusive drinks and speciality dining, to a return chauffeur service to the port. It is all included, along with so much more. The health, wellbeing and safety of our guests and crew are of the highest importance to me, and you can trust Saga to go the extra mile to keep everyone safe at all times. This includes introducing pre-departure cancellation cover for coronavirus, and adding up to £5m medical cover for coronavirus-related illness to our optional travel insurance. Both are included in the price when you choose to take our insurance cover§. These are just some of the ways we are continuing to raise our standards even further, so you can cruise with complete confidence and peace of mind. I cannot wait for you to join us on board soon. Yours faithfully,
Nigel Blanks Managing Director, Saga Cruises

CELEBRATING
SEVENTY Y E A R S IN 2021
Founded in 1951, Saga began as a small hotel in the seaside town of Folkestone. Noticing a gap in the market for off-peak holidays, entrepreneur Sidney De Haan launched breaks for retired holidaymakers. The idea took off, and soon he expanded the Saga concept to hotels and tours around the globe. Under the leadership of Sidney’s son, Roger De Haan, we grew into a complete lifestyle brand for the over 50s. And we haven’t looked back. In 1997 Saga Cruises was launched, our very own cruise line, which started with a single ship, the much-loved Saga Rose. We’re still based in Folkestone, our hometown for almost 70 years, and are proud of our heritage as a company who really cares about our customers, and who champions them in all aspects of their life.

Our brand-new boutique ships Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure are the newest fleet on the ocean, offering all-inclusive drinks, a balcony for every guest, and a choice of free speciality restaurants. Sleek and sophisticated, these ships showcase all the high-end features you’d expect from larger cruise liners. But reserved for no more than 999 guests each, they never lose that small-ship appeal that makes our cruises so special. As sister ships, both Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure share many of the same qualities. However, with different creative teams, each ship maintains a beautiful character all their own.

First-class service We pride ourselves on our high levels of service, from the moment you book your cruise, until you step aboard and sail away to an array of fabulous destinations. Smaller is better When it comes to cruising, we believe smaller is better. Beautifully boutique, our exclusive ships offer a uniquely British way to cruise, all without the need to fly. And unlike the larger cruise ships, you’ll never feel crowded on Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure. With one member of staff to every two guests, there’s enough of us to deliver first-class service throughout your time on board.
Our hallmark chauffeur service Many guests like the luxury to begin at home, with a chauffeur driving them to the port at Dover or Southampton, totally hassle free. It’s included up to 250 miles each way at no extra charge, or you can choose included rail/coach travel if you prefer. Want to drive yourself? That’s no problem either. We’ll provide free parking for the duration of your cruise. Just choose the option that’s best for you and leave the rest for us.
All the little touches The Saga boutique difference is all the little touches you’ll enjoy around the ship. Whether it’s remembering your name and favourite drink from the bar, to the nightly turn-down service, they all add up to a big part of your cruise experience.
Always included Gratuities are included in the price of your cruise. It means you can simply relax and enjoy every moment, without worrying about who or when to tip. It’s first-class Saga service, and it’s always included at no extra charge.

Your life on board When it comes to how you spend your time on board, it’s all about choice. Enjoy a range of fun activities and talks, pamper yourself in the spa, go for a swim, walk around our wrap around deck, take your seat for shows in the theatre, or simply relax in the laid-back Britannia Lounges. Whatever you want, you’ll be spoilt for choice, day and night. So much to enjoy… If you’re not out exploring ashore or it’s a leisurely day at sea, you’ll find so much to keep you entertained. Delivered to your cabin each evening, your daily programme details the next day’s events, all free of charge. This could include talks from special guest speakers, fun quizzes, classical recitals, matinee shows, craft and art classes, cookery demos, and a whole lot more.
Get active… or simply relax Staying on the move is easy on board. Visit the hi-tech gym or golf simulator, attend one of the free fitness classes, enjoy a swim, or simply walk around the outside promenade for spectacular ocean views wherever you are in the world… four times around and you’ll walk a mile! Prefer to take it easy? How about a relaxing session in the hydrotherapy pool and infrared sauna, followed by an indulgent afternoon tea and glass of fizz. Sheer bliss!

Take a tour around Spirit of Adventure Welcome aboard… 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.
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.

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.

An overnight stay here offers plenty of time to discover some of the natural highlights such as the beautiful Taburiente National Park and UNESCO-listed Los Tilos Forest. Contrast the lush scenery of La Palma with the golden dunes of Maspalomas in Gran Canaria, the stark landscapes of Tenerife’s Teide National Park and Fuerteventura’s volcanic black sand beaches before continuing to Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city. Uncover an intriguing mix of European, African and Arabian influences as you soak up the vibrant atmosphere. Perhaps visit the Hassan II Mosque, take a tour of a winery or head to the capital city of Rabat. Another cultural capital awaits in Portugal where Lisbon offers plenty to see and do. Seek out the main highlights from the Monument to the Discoveries and Belém Tower, to Jerónimos Monastery and the Praca do Comércio.

Food and drink are very important to both French and Spanish culture and lifestyle, and these countries have a lot in common when it comes to serving up first-class cuisine. Brittany is known for its delicious crepes and savoury galettes, and a visit to Lorient gives you the chance to sample some tasty local delicacies in the surroundings of spectacular Josselin Castle. From Brest perhaps head to Lannilis to discover Breton’s tempting treasures: oysters and wine. A Portuguese interlude reveals the sights and sounds of Leixoes, the chance to visit Porto and its magical bookshop, and the opportunity to taste Portugal’s popular vinho verde at a wine lodge. In Spain, look forward to exploring Santander with its long sandy beaches and lively restaurant scene; perhaps learn more about Iberian cured ham during a visit to a jamon cellar; and take your time to uncover the highlights of Vigo, where life revolves around the sea and where some of the best seafood restaurants in the country can be found. Perhaps find a sunny terrace and order some tapas – octopus is a speciality here.

Norway is renowned for its beautiful scenery
I love Stavanger as a cruise destination. Your ship docks in the heart of the city, so as soon as you step ashore your exploration begins. With its restaurants and shops, historic cathedral and picturesque Breiavatnet lake close by, it’s so easy to explore the city on foot.” Neil Cron, shore excursion manager.

Norway, with its abundance of natural wonders, is arguably one of the most beautiful and photogenic countries on earth. Look forward to a relaxing day cruising along the ‘King of the Fjords’, Sognefjord, renowned for its spectacular scenery. Nestled at the head of Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord, is the scenic village of Flåm. From here you can set off on a boat trip to see the magical waterfalls that cascade into UNESCO-listed Naerøyfjord, board the famous Flåm Railway and journey into the mountains, or take a scenic drive through picture-perfect valleys, where photo opportunities can be found around every bend. Stavanager, with its lively harbour and historic centre of cobbled streets, offers a gateway to the azure blue waters of Lysefjord. Perhaps join a cruise across the fjord, which sits in the shadow of Pulpit Rock, and gaze into the eerie chasm of Vagabond’s Cave. More splendid scenery awaits in Kristiansand, where you can see the traditional wooden houses of time gone by during your included sightseeing tour. For a peak into the surrounding area perhaps take a cruise around the Randesund Archipelago aboard a Norwegian schooner, head to the nearby town of Lillesand for a stroll along the pretty harbour, or hike to Odderøya and enjoy views across Kristiansand’s harbour.

Kirkjufell waterfall and mountain, Iceland
The beautiful and rugged landscape of Iceland and its natural wonders will provide you with so many unforgettable memories. Whether its taking a relaxing dip in the Blue Lagoon, exploring deep inside a lava cave or going off the beaten track on a 4X4 adventure. The opportunities are endless!
Four sightseeing tours included* • Newcastle, England • Akureyri, Iceland • Reykjavik, Iceland • Liverpool, England.
Look out for whales and dolphins
Summer is a great time to visit the ‘Land of Ice and Fire’, when the midnight sun illuminates the land, creating long summer days. Outdoor pursuits, such as caving and hiking, river rafting and whale watching, become even more alluring and are a great way to uncover some of the island’s natural wonders. Shaped by mighty forces the island’s varied landscape conceals geysers, bubbling mud pools, glaciers, lagoons and other fascinating natural phenomena. Although the scenery and wildlife are a definite draw for many of Iceland’s visitors, the country’s culture begs to be explored too. Just a short stroll around the tiny capital city of Reykjavik will reveal that this little island was once inhabited by the fiercest of ancient warriors, the Vikings. Perhaps learn more about them at one of several museums documenting their arrival in the 9th century. The city also has an important literary, music and art scene, and plays host to various cultural festivals throughout the year. While here you may like to sample some local delicacies too, such as hangikjöt (smoked lamb), best served before the popular dessert of skyr and bilberries – a great way to truly experience the unique Icelandic traditions!

Cruise into the Baltic Sea and enjoy two weeks exploring the diversity of regional culture, music and architecture of this important maritime trading hub, once protected and controlled by the Hanseatic League. Sample the delights of Sweden’s culinary prowess in both Gothenburg and Stockholm, where restaurants and cafes have a world-class reputation. While St Petersburg is in a cultural league of its own, with its grand facade of opulent palaces and theatres. The city has given rise to some of the world’s greatest poets, musicians, artists and dancers; and the chance to see ballet in one of the magnificent theatres here is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. In contrast to the extravagance of St Petersburg, the modern art and architectural design found in the Nordic countries of Finland, Denmark and Norway is inspired by their love of nature and simplicity, and it’s hardly surprising when you’re surrounded by beautiful scenery. A great example of this can be seen in eco-friendly Oslo, situated at the head of the Oslofjord and known for its lush green spaces and numerous museums. Get a real feel for local life here by exploring the Grunerlokka, one of Oslo’s trendiest districts, complete with colourful street art and lively bars. While in wonderful Copenhagen the opportunity to visit magical Tivoli Gardens, where you can hop on vintage rides, stroll through the gardens and treat yourself to Danish refreshments, will leave you with everlasting memories.

The art of Russian ballet Ballet is an integral part of Russian culture and the country is home to two of the world’s most famous ballet companies: the Bolshoi and the Mariinsky. A visit to St Petersburg gives you the opportunity to treat yourself to a performance of this elegant dance genre in one of the city’s numerous grand theatres. A magical production, accompanied by an included glass of Russian sparkling wine during the interval, will make this a very special evening.
Tall ships in Kotka The maritime city of Kotka has a long history of seafaring traditions and has hosted the famous Tall Ships Race. So, perhaps the most appropriate way to see more of the archipelago is from on board a historic Tall Ship. Set sail on a lovingly restored, century-old vessel and take the chance to assist the crew with the sails or to simply relax and enjoy the views as you cruise through Kotka’s beautiful archipelago, which has over 400 islands.

The UNESCO-listed site features centuries-old artillery, bunkers and defensive walls. Walking trails link the popular sights, such as the King’s Gate drawbridge and Suomenlinna Museum. You can also explore a restored World War II submarine. This fascinating fortress is easily reached by ferry from the quay at Kauppatori.
Oslo’s trio of Maritime Museums Intrepid explorers have been travelling into the unknown from Norway since the Viking Age, and you can learn more about the country’s world famous explorers by visiting some of the city’s fascinating maritime museums. The Fram and the Kon-Tiki museums document the travels of Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup and Roald Amundsen, and house the original wooden vessels used on their polar expeditions. While in the Viking Ship Museum you can see original Viking long boats used both at sea and also in funeral rites.
Hans Christian Andersen’s Copenhagen Famous author Hans Christian Andersen spent most of his life in Copenhagen, and was inspired to write some of his earliest fairy tales while living in Nyhavn. The city’s most famous statue, the Little Mermaid by Edvard Eriksen, is based on a character from one of the Danish author’s famous stories and you can learn more about Andersen’s life and work at the Fairy-Tale House Museum. Perhaps head to the King’s Garden to see a statue of the well-known author.

Norway is undoubtedly one of the most naturally beautiful places on Earth, as you will see during this seven-night cruise that stops at some of the country’s must-see attractions. Beginning with the charming, waterfront city of Bergen, which is backed by rolling mountains and majestic fjords. Perhaps pay a visit to the former home of the city’s most famous son, renowned composer Edvard Grieg, who is considered one of the leading Romantic-era composers. Alternatively, you could see more of the surrounding scenery on foot or by bicycle. Head deep into the heart of Norway as you cruise through the magnificent UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord, past the Seven Sisters waterfall to the fjord village of Geiranger. A variety of activities can be enjoyed from here including a hike up the Westerasfjellet Mountain, an exhilarating trip across the fjord by rigid inflatable boat, and a special musical performance in Geiranger’s 19th-century church. Cruising south, every stretch of your journey reveals even more breathtaking scenery. Stavanger is no exception; the outskirts of the city may be modern, but the old centre boasts some of the most beautiful wooden buildings in the country. For a slightly alternative experience why not visit the quirky Canning Museum for an insight into this important industry and a taste of the local herring.

Going green in Oslo The city of Oslo has one of the lowest carbon footprints in the world thanks to its well-patronised public transport and commitment to sustainable food production and green space. You’ll find numerous parks in and around the city, and the waterways and islands of Oslofjord are just minutes away from the centre. During the summer these waterways are a popular venue for kayaking, canoeing, diving, fishing and swimming; and small passenger ferries that form part of the city’s public transport connect the recreational islands to the rest of Oslo.
Palaces of St Petersburg Oozing with opulence, the city of St Petersburg boasts numerous grand palaces and over 50 imperial mansions, which begs the question… which one should you visit? Often compared to Versailles, Peterhof Palace has pristine gardens and 150 fountains. While at Catherine Palace you can see some of the finest Baroque architecture in the world; and its famous Amber Room, with its honey-coloured panels embellished with gold leaf and mirrors, has to be seen to be believed!
Rock up at Helsinki’s Rock Church The modern Temppeliaukio Church, also known as the Rock Church, is cut directly into solid granite rock and is crowned by a stunning copper dome, which is connected by 180 vertical glass panes. This incredible piece of architecture was designed by brothers Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen and took around two years to construct. This unique place of worship is a popular venue for weddings, art exhibitions and concerts, with the design and material of the building creating fantastic natural acoustics.

Relax on Tortola’s idyllic beaches
In Bequia, the unique Vincentian tradition of ‘Nine Mornings’ is celebrated during the nine days before Christmas. Music, singing and parties take place up and down the island in an exuberant countdown to the big day. Similar celebrations take place in Trinidad and Tobago and also on St Kitts.
Five sightseeing tours included* • Funchal, Madeira • St John’s, Antigua • Port Elizabeth, Bequia • Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago • Santa Cruz, Tenerife.
Overnight stay
Outstanding natural beauty, glorious year round sunshine and a relaxed rhythm of life… The Caribbean islands flawlessly fit the popular notion of a tropical paradise, offering a fantastic backdrop to the perfect Christmas escape. After pausing at the floral island of Madeira, Spirit of Adventure heads for stunning Antigua, said to have a different beach for every day of the year. But there is so much more to discover here – perhaps take a thrilling catamaran trip out to the incredible coral reefs that surround the island and enjoy a spot of snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters, or find out more about Antigua’s history with a visit to Nelson’s dockyard. Another highlight of your cruise is sure to be Port of Spain, capital of Trinidad and Tobago and a fascinating melting pot of different cultures. You could delve deeper into the musical traditions of the islands and enjoy a performance which includes limbo, calypso and steel band music, or take a kayaking adventure through the mangrove waterways of the Caroni Bird Sanctuary. Christmas Day will be spent celebrating at sea, as you head home via Tenerife where you will see in the New Year with a fabulous on-board party, or perhaps by partying with the locals ashore.

Discover life aboard Spirit of Discovery Spacious balcony cabins 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.
Boutique dining at no extra cost
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.
The Club by Jools
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.
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.
Seafood perfection in Coast to Coast
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.
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?
78
East to West, for spiced-up dining
Sociable spaces
The serene Spa 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.
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.

Please quote SMRCR
The Canary Islands have an array of unworldly terrain to uncover from the black sand beaches of Lanzarote and rolling dunes of Maspalomas, to the lava tunnels of La Palma and Tenerife’s towering volcano. The islands’ treasures are not just found on land, the clear skies above have something to offer too thanks to the lack of light pollution, which allows incredible stargazing opportunities. Look forward to some awe-inspiring astronomy sessions on board Spirit of Discovery. An included panoramic tour from Funchal reveals Madeira’s beautiful scenery before you cruise to La Palma where your Canary Island adventure begins. Explore the cobbled streets of the charming capital Santa Cruz, join an included tour or venture into mysterious volcanic caves. In Tenerife, whose skyline is dominated by Mount Teide, perhaps head into UNESCO-listed Teide National Park. Pretty vistas await in Gran Canaria where you can walk into the heart of the Bandama Crater or learn more about Christopher Columbus in the museum that documents his voyages. While in Lanzarote you may discover the white salt flats of Janubio, the caves of Los Verdes and rugged terrain of Fire Mountain. During your homebound cruise a stop in Lisbon with its Moorish influences and wooden trams provides a dash of culture.

Explore ashore The capital of La Palma The pretty city of Santa Cruz has a scenic waterfront setting, backed by gently undulating hills. The beach gives way to a kilometre-long promenade and the centre of the city features impressive colonial-style architecture, quirky boutiques and historic cobbled streets. There are a number of fascinating museums and art galleries to explore, as well as some colourful street art. The fountains and greenery of the Parque Garcia Sanabria offer a peaceful oasis of calm.
Floral delights A visit to Madeira, often referred to as the ‘floating garden in the Atlantic’, is sure to be enhanced by a tour that goes in search of some of the island’s colourful endemic flora in the company of an expert botanist. The soil and climate provide the perfect combination for plants and flowers to thrive, so you are sure to see a variety of examples. Look out for coral trees, African daisies, Arum lilies and so much more…
Explore the ‘Cave of Doves’ On La Palma perhaps venture into the lava canals and cave systems, some of which were formed over a million years ago. The largest of the caves is the Las Palomas volcanic tube, a certified natural monument known locally as the ‘Caves of Doves’, which formed as a result of the volcanic eruption of the San Juan volcano in the 1940s. The cave has a number of vents that provide a natural lighting system and is supposedly home to some unusual invertebrates.

Explore ashore Birthplace of the immortals Take a relaxing boat trip from Mykonos to the tiny island of Delos where the ancient treasures are out of this world. In ancient Greek culture the island was believed to be the birthplace of Apollo, god of light, and as a result the land was rendered sacred. Apollo’s sanctuary attracted pilgrims from all over Greece. Today, UNESCO-listed Delos is home to a vast archaeological site that spreads across the entire island, where antiquities from the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods can be seen.
Turkey’s greatest treasure Istanbul has many important monuments, but none are quite as impressive as Hagia Sophia, which dominates the city’s skyline. Commissioned by Byzantine emperor Justinian, then consecrated as a church in 537, this magnificent building was converted to a mosque by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1453, before finally being declared a museum in 1935. The Hagia Sophia mosque is as famous for its exterior as it is for its interior, with its famous dome, huge nave and beautiful gold mosaics, among other gems.
The legendary city of Troy The ruins discovered at Hisarlik by amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, are believed by many to be the remains of the lost city of Troy. Brought to life by Homer in his Iliad and Odyssey, Troy was established in 3000BC, and is famed by stories of love, war and heroism, and of course the Trojan Horse. Take a stroll around the rampart’s and look out for the Temple of Athena and the Bronze Age ramp.

This scenic cruise around the British Isles is a fantastic way to uncover hidden coastal gems, explore thriving seaside resorts and step ashore in tiny remote ports – and what better time to sail than at the height of summer? A highlight is sure to be when Spirit of Discovery sails into the Firth of Forth estuary and anchors within sight of the UNESCO-listed Forth Bridge, so that you can hop off and discover Edinburgh. From the ancient sights of the Orkney Islands, to the industrial heritage of Newcastle and Belfast, this is a voyage of contrasts that showcases the best of the British Isles. Look forward to strolling through the welcoming streets of Dublin where you’ll experience true Irish craic and a taste of the city’s staple food, hearty soda bread. Do a spot of window shopping in Grafton Street or head to the arts and entertainment district of Temple Bar, where you could sup on a pint of Ireland’s beloved dry stout, Guinness. One of the lesser visited gems on your itinerary, Ullapool, is tucked away on the edge of Loch Broom, amid the beautiful scenery of the Scottish Highlands. While here, perhaps seek out some of the most spectacular, untouched scenery the British Isles has to offer in Scotland’s first geopark or at Corrieshalloch Gorge.

Lanzarote has its fair share of Beléns, or Nativity displays, too. Perhaps make the most of the island’s duty-free shopping while in the main port of Arrecife, or head to Teguise to browse the stalls of its sprawling market. While in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, which sparkles with Christmas lights at this time of year, you may like to do a spot of Christmas shopping at the festive markets in the city’s downtown area; or head to the Confeitaria Nacional to sample Portuguese Christmas cakes and sweets. Bolo Rei, or King Cake, is the country’s most traditional festive cake, sold by the slice or as a whole.

Booking conditions Holiday and Cruise booking terms and conditions Your holiday booking is with ST&H Limited trading as Saga Holidays or with Saga Cruises Limited for cruises aboard Saga Pearl II, Saga Sapphire and Spirit of Discovery (‘Saga’ or ‘we’ or ‘our’ or ‘us’). For cruises aboard Saga’s vessels Saga Sapphire, Saga Pearl II and Spirit of Discovery, ST&H Limited acts as agent for Saga Cruises Limited, the ships’ operator and your contract is with Saga Cruises Limited and subject to these booking conditions. These terms and conditions, along with the documents referred herein, apply to your holiday booked and form your contract with us. It is important that you read these booking conditions as they not only define our obligations to you but also impose some important commitments upon you. If any part of these booking conditions is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity will not affect the other provisions which shall remain in full force and effect.
1. Your holiday contract
When you make a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept, and do accept on behalf of your party, the terms of these booking conditions. Your contract is created when you confirm your holiday, you pay either a deposit or the full balance due and we issue a confirmation invoice. It is your responsibility to provide accurate details at the time of booking, including ensuring passenger details exactly match passport details. It is also your responsibility to check that the information on the confirmation invoice and ATOL Certificate (if relevant) is correct and includes details of everything you have booked (including flights, hotels and other services). If any of the passenger or holiday details on the confirmation invoice or ATOL Certificate (if relevant) are incorrect or incomplete, you must notify us immediately. We will pass on any additional charges incurred as a result of any details not being correct. We reserve the right to refuse to accept and/or not proceed with any booking at any time at our sole discretion. This contract is governed by English law and the 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. A complaint may be referred to arbitration – see section 15.
2. Age qualification
Saga holidays and cruises are for anyone aged 50 or over. A travelling companion or family member travelling with you may be aged 40 or over. Please note there may be non-Saga guests (including children) in residence during your holiday, for whose behaviour we cannot accept responsibility.
3. Your financial protection
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 Civil Aviation Authority of Gatwick Airport South, West Sussex, RH6 0YR, UK 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.

4. Your holiday price
Price: Holiday prices can be influenced by taxes such as 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 prices of any of the holidays shown in our brochures 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 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 flight 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. Please note that local taxes are not included within the holiday package price and where necessary these will need to be paid locally by you. We will wherever possible advise you at the time of booking if these apply, but please bear in mind that local taxes may be imposed after you have made your booking. Should you choose not to proceed, this will be treated as a cancellation (see section 7). 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 services’) 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. Please note that where a flight upgrade has been booked and there is a change of airline prior to your departure date it may not be possible to offer an equivalent upgrade or there may be an additional cost payable. In this situation we will offer you the opportunity to: revert to economy class and refund you the cost of the upgrade; pay any additional costs for the equivalent upgrade; or cancel with a full refund of all monies paid. If an upgrade with the new airline is available and is of a lower value than the original airline, we will refund you the difference in value. Compensation will not be payable. Price Promise: 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. For Saga Ocean 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. For Saga Holidays, our Price Promise will apply to all departures from January 2021.
5. 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 sections 11 and 12); Ocean cruises – £200 or 15% of the holiday cost, whichever is the greater, up to a maximum of £1,000; Oberammergau – 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 or by cheque. 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. 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. Refunds: If you are entitled to any refund(s) relating to your booking, this will go to the lead passenger who made the booking, usually by the same payment method that was used to pay Saga. In the case of card payment, refund(s) will be made to the appropriate card account(s). If a payment has been made in the form of a voucher, any refund, if applicable, will be refunded by voucher. Any fees incurred when making a payment will not be refunded unless Saga causes the cancellation. No refund is available after your departure date if you attend part of the holiday only, or vary or extend the holiday arrangements.
6. If you change your booking
If you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way after your holiday contract is created, for example, your accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from the person who made the booking or your travel agent. If you make changes before the balance due date, you will be asked to pay an administrative charge of £20 per person for all UK holidays; £25 per person for all Saga ocean cruise holidays aboard Saga Sapphire, Saga Pearl II, Spirit of Discovery or Spirit of Adventure; and £40 per person for all other holidays, for each amendment, and any further cost we incur in making this alteration. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible. Please note that certain travel arrangements
may not be changeable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements. If you wish to change the departure date of your holiday or cruise, you will need to cancel your existing holiday and book the new one – cancellation charges will apply as per the table in Section 9. Any changes you make after the balance due date will be treated as a cancellation by you, and cancellation charges will apply (as set out in the table in Section 9). For cruises, a single supplement may apply if changing from twin to single occupancy. If you wish to change to a lower cabin grade or amend to a cabin allocated on departure, cancellation charges will apply as per the table in Section 9. Transferring your booking: You can transfer your booking to another person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to this booking, by giving us notice in writing at least 7 days before departure. Both you and the new traveller are responsible for paying all costs we incur in making the transfer.
7. If you cancel your holiday
You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time. Written notification from the person who made the booking or your travel agent, along with any travel tickets received, must be received at: Cancellations, Enbrook Park, Folkestone, Kent, CT20 3SE. If you wish to cancel within 14 days of your departure date, please telephone us on 0800 092 0920 (0800 068 5058 for river cruises). Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, you will have to pay cancellation charges as per the table in section 9 (see also the exception below). Any additional or higher non-refundable deposit paid will be included in the cancellation charges set out in the table in section 9 or advised by your sales consultant. We will also deduct the cost of any UK connecting or domestic flights. Note: If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges. Customers who have included the optional travel insurance benefit from additional cancellation rights (see ‘Additional cancellation rights’ under Section 12). For holidays in mainland Britain, if you have to cancel your holiday because of illness or death of you or a member of your party, we will refund all your holiday payments except for a handling fee of £60 per person, provided we receive a valid medical certificate. You can cancel your booking without paying cancellation charges if the performance of your package, or the carriage of passengers to your destination, is significantly affected by Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances. Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances, means a situation that is, in our opinion, beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include, but are not limited to, actual or expected war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activity, Government action or restraint, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disasters, fire, adverse weather conditions including hurricanes, changing water levels or closure of locks, epidemics, health risks, unavoidable technical problems with transport, damage and accidents from machinery or engines, or closed or congested airports. In such circumstances, we will arrange for your booking to be terminated and for you to receive a full refund. We will observe advice provided by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
8. If we change your booking
We plan the holiday arrangements many months in advance and, although unlikely, we may need to make changes. It is a term of your booking that we are able to make changes to any aspect of your booking. If the change is insignificant, we will ensure that you are notified about it. Examples of insignificant changes include, but are not limited to, a change in airline carrier; closure of hotel facilities for improvement; flights becoming indirect; building works; change to advertised amenities; change to itineraries; change to included and optional excursions and entertainment. Please note we will not pay compensation or offer alternative options if we make an insignificant change. If we have to significantly alter any of the main characteristics of the travel services that make up your holiday package, you will have the rights set out below. 1. We will contact you and you will have the choice of accepting the change or having a refund of all monies paid. You can also accept an alternative holiday, where we offer one. If the alternative holiday is of a lower value, we will refund any price difference. If the alternative holiday is of a higher value, you will be required to pay the additional amount. We will tell you the procedure for making your choice. Please read any notification of changes carefully and respond promptly as if you do not respond to us within the timescale given your booking may be cancelled. 2. We will pay compensation as per the table in Section 9 except where the significant change is due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances. This standard payment will not affect your statutory or other legal rights. 3. If you choose to accept a refund, we will provide a full refund of your travel insurance premiums if you paid them to us and can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy.
Examples of significant changes include, but are not limited to, a significant change of resort or holiday duration, where your stay is three nights or more; a change of accommodation to that of a lower Q or Berlitz rating category for three or more nights; a change in departure date; a change of departure airport (except between London airports, between Birmingham and East Midlands airports, between Doncaster Sheffield, Manchester and Leeds Bradford airports, between Bristol and Cardiff airports, between Glasgow and Edinburgh airports, or between Liverpool and Manchester); or your cruise being cancelled by the cruise company or shipping line. Please note that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for any consequential loss or expenses you may incur from arrangements you have made with any other party or parties.
9. If we cancel your holiday
We reserve the right to cancel your booking. If we need to cancel any holiday due to insufficient demand, we will do so before the balance due date. The minimum number required will be provided to you with the holiday description. We will not cancel after the balance due date, except for Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances, or failure by you to pay the final balance. If your holiday is cancelled (for reasons other than a failure by you to pay the final balance) you can either have a full refund of all monies paid or, where available, accept an offer of alternative comparable travel arrangements. We will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value. In the event a refund is paid to you, we will: 1. provide a full refund of your travel insurance premiums if you paid them to us and can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy; and 2. pay compensation as per the table below except where the cancellation is due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances. This standard payment will not affect your statutory or other legal rights. Please note that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for any consequential loss or expenses you may incur from arrangements you have made with any other party or parties.

10. Insurance
You must be adequately insured for all ocean cruises and holidays outside mainland Britain to cover all contingencies such as medical expenses, repatriation, and baggage cover. If you did not purchase the optional travel insurance and additional cancellation rights, or if we’re unable to offer the optional cover, we advise that you arrange adequate insurance cover as soon as possible. For your peace of mind, please ensure that your alternative policy includes cancellation cover for the total cost of your holiday and that you are adequately insured for all your needs, including medical emergencies. Please also make sure your insurance is valid from the time of booking until your return from holiday.

Should you need to cancel prior to your booking being confirmed, a full refund will be available. Once within 18 months of departure, the optional travel insurance and additional cancellation rights can be added and the holiday confirmed.

If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline or any other service provider will be deducted. You agree to assign to Saga any rights that you may have against a third party or person which have caused or contributed to our legal liability to you or which result in us incurring costs on your behalf. You agree that you will provide us and/or our insurers with all reasonable assistance to pursue a claim against any third party or person. If it is impossible to ensure your return as scheduled due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances, we will bear the cost of necessary accommodation, if possible of equivalent category, for a maximum of three nights. The limit doesn’t apply to persons with reduced mobility and any person accompanying them, pregnant women and unaccompanied minors, or persons in need of specific medical assistance, provided that you notified us of these needs at least 48 hours before the start of your holiday. Note: this entire section 13 does not apply to any separate contracts that you may enter into whilst on holiday (for example, for excursions, entertainment, amenities, activities (including Holiday Experience activities) and other tours).
14. Your responsibility
Saga is committed to promoting equality and diversity, and kindly requests your co-operation and consideration for others while on holiday. Verbally abusive or offensive language or behaviour directed towards anyone, including guests and crew, is not permitted. Saga reserves the right to curtail your holiday if, in our view, your conduct or behaviour, or that of a member of your party, is disruptive, dangerous, antisocial, or otherwise unacceptable. In such an event, no compensation or refund will be payable and you will be liable to pay any additional expenses reasonably incurred in arranging the curtailment. In addition, you must comply with the terms and conditions of the third party suppliers of any travel services. Failure by you to observe such terms and conditions which are incorporated into this contract and available upon request may affect any compensation or liability we may have towards you. Medical information: You are responsible for ensuring that any existing medical conditions, disabilities or mobility restrictions affecting you or a member of your party are declared to us before you book or, if newly diagnosed, as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours before your date of departure. If there is any change in the above circumstances for you or a member of your party, or you or a member of your party develops a new medical condition, please call us to see if we can continue to offer the optional insurance and if the holiday is still suitable. The insurance company will not accept a claim as valid if you do not do this. In addition, there are other instances where cover is not available under the Medical Expenses or Curtailment sections of our Saga Travel Insurance Policy Booklet. These include where the person(s) making the claim: • does not follow the advice of a medical practitioner • is travelling to get medical treatment abroad • has been given a terminal prognosis by a medical practitioner • is expected to give birth within 12 weeks (16 weeks in the case of a multiple pregnancy) of arrival home. The Policy Booklet contains full details of the medical cover provided along with the terms and exclusions. We recommend that you read it carefully. Please note: Regardless of whether you take out the optional travel insurance, for cruises, women who are up to 24 weeks pregnant at the end of the holiday are required to provide a medical certificate of fitness to travel. We cannot carry passengers who will be 24 weeks or more pregnant at the end of the holiday. We reserve the right to request a medical certificate at any stage of pregnancy and to refuse travel if we and/or the Master of the ship are not satisfied that you will be safe during your holiday. The
doctors aboard the ships may not be qualified to deliver babies on board, or to offer pre or postnatal treatment, and no responsibility is accepted by Saga in respect of the ability to provide such services or equipment. For air travel, you are subject to the terms and conditions of your airline, who will have its own policies. Please let us know if you are pregnant or become pregnant prior to departure. Please also refer to Mobility and Assistance in section 19.

You must pay any costs we incur, if the difficulty is your fault.
18. 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.

19. Holiday information
Passports: You will need a valid passport for all overseas holidays featured. As requirements vary and can change without notice, we strongly advise you to ensure 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. We recommend that you also take your passport for identification purposes when taking domestic flights. Visas: 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. 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 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. 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. 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). 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. Optional Activities: Any optional activities including, but not limited to, excursions, entertainment, amenities, activities (including Holiday Experience activities) and other tours (‘Optional Activities’) that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of your package holiday provided by us. For all Optional Activities, your contract will be with the operator/supplier of the Optional Activity and not with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the Optional Activity or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator/supplier. Full details of the Optional Activities available will be provided in the itinerary sent to you before you travel. Details will also be available to you in resort. We cannot guarantee that the Optional Activities will be available during your holiday and they will only operate if a sufficient number of people wish to take part. Optional Activities are sold subject to the laws and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the country or state where purchased. We have included them in brochures and on the website to illustrate your choice, not as a recommendation to take part. If you intend to take part in any Optional Activities, please check your insurance policy to ensure that you are covered for anything that may be considered hazardous. If you are in any doubt, you should contact your insurer. Please also note that any medical services on board our cruises are similarly provided by independent contractors, which do not form part of the holiday package and for which we cannot accept any responsibility. Cabins – inside/outside guarantees: With these special offer fares, you are guaranteed the minimum grade of cabin shown in the brochure, 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 (see section 7). 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.
Mobility and assistance: Our ships have a limited number of cabins adapted for use by those with restricted mobility and we are limited as to the number of disabled passengers or passengers with reduced mobility that we can carry. We reserve the right to refuse the carriage of any person if carrying such a passenger would put us in breach of any applicable safety requirement or law. We 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. We 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, requires 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. This is essential for travel by sea or inland waterways, as a risk assessment may need to be carried out prior to your departure. If you do not inform us of such a condition we will not be liable if an 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 your departure. You can also visit our website at saga.co.uk. Please note that personal daily care cannot be provided by any member of the ship’s staff. 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 wish to refer to government health advice for your destination at fco. gov.uk/en/travel-and-living-abroad/travel-advice-bycountry/ 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 interests of the health and safety of fellow passengers, it is a condition of travel that passengers must use the hand sanitisers provided when embarking and disembarking our ships.

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. Some destinations can suffer extreme weather conditions. Saga cannot accept responsibility for any connecting travel you purchase independently. Direct flights are not necessarily non-stop and may have to make an intermediate stop en route. Where a meal or snack is included on your flight, this is provided by the airline on a complimentary basis and has no cash value. Should the airline not offer this service for whatever reason, or your flight is amended to an airline which does not give refreshments, no refund shall be made. Banned or restricted air carriers: Regulation (EC) No. 2111/2005 came into force in January 2006, establishing a Community list of air carriers subject to an operating ban within the Community. The list is available at https://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/air/ safety/air-ban. We want all of our customers to be comfortable and relaxed while travelling by coach. For this reason, we do not allow smoking, pets or personal audio equipment on coach journeys. We cannot guarantee the class of your rail travel. We will notify you if your preference is unavailable for all or part of your journey and explain your options. In respect of VIP door-to-door service transfers, customers may have to share use of the vehicle with customers on different bookings save where the booked service is private. Where possible, Saga may facilitate pre-booking of seats and other ancillary items where offered by our transport suppliers. This may be subject to transport supplier charges and Saga administrative charges. Actual seat numbers booked by us cannot
•
be guaranteed as there may be changes for airline operational, safety or security reasons. However, the airline will, where possible, re-accommodate your seats together and match your seating preferences. Where this is not possible then we will refund any applicable seating charges paid to us for the flights affected. We cannot accept responsibility for any purchases made on holiday, either individually or when taking part on a tour or excursion. A recommendation to visit a venue is not a recommendation to purchase and the customer does this at their own risk. Ships’ cabins can vary in size within the same grade. We cannot guarantee the composition of your cabin. It may contain foldaway beds, upper and lower berths, sofa beds or permanent beds. Sea view cabins can be restricted by lifeboats and deadlights, and some inward facing cabins have no porthole. Your cabin may be affected by vibration and mechanical noises. In the interests of safety and the well-being of our customers, the Masters (and Saga Cruises Limited) shall have absolute discretion to alter the routing of the cruises at any time and for any reason. The safe navigation of the ship is paramount and circumstances where the route may be changed include, but are not limited to, Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances . All ships featured are measured by the gross registered tonnage. This is not the weight of the ship but the total volume of all permanently enclosed spaces The currency used on board cruise ships will depend on the ship’s nationality. Many ships operate a ‘cashless’ system whereby you sign for all purchases which are then charged to your cabin. You settle up at the end of your cruise and can pay by credit card, cash or travellers cheque. Cruise escorts will only be available if a minimum number of passengers is achieved. Unless otherwise stated, there will be an extra charge for optional facilities, such as sports facilities, bars and Internet facilities. We cannot guarantee special requests that may also be subject to an additional charge. Don’t forget to check that you have all your belongings before returning home. If necessary and if requested, we will do what we can to return any lost items, but please be aware that restrictions apply and there will be a cost for this service. Details can be obtained from our after-sales team. Please note, hotels reserve the right to change the delivery of their meal services, without notice. Where we refer in our brochure to buffet meal service or waiter meal service, this was correct at the time of publication. Due to local conditions in some ports, we may be unable to use the most accessible gangway. Passengers may be required to negotiate a steep gangway and/or steps. For customers who are unable to walk unaided or require a wheelchair/scooter, it may be necessary to remain on board. If you have any special difficulties or needs, such as a particular diet, you must notify Saga on 0800 373 034.
21. Travel Agents
When you buy a flight-based holiday, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by him on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times. This is subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail. If we fail, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by him, is and continues to be held on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us. When you buy a holiday not including a flight, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by him on our behalf at all times.
22. Brexit
Please be aware that some travel services could be affected as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. Examples of this could include the inability of airlines to operate flights (including the loss or restriction of rights in respect of transit, air traffic or entry into an airspace), an unavailability of some flight routes, changes to the visa requirements of British citizens and limited or no access to certain airports and ports. If we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be affected, we will let customers know as soon as possible. However, as this situation is extraordinary and outside of our control, we would treat any such changes or cancellations as being due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances. Please note that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for any consequential loss or expenses customers may incur in these circumstances. We strongly encourage customers to take out travel insurance to cover consequential losses and expenses.

A few other details
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.
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.

All-inclusive cruises All cruises aboard our brand-new ships are all inclusive and include a choice of wines, house-branded spirits, cocktails containing house-branded spirits, draught beer and lager, non-alcoholic cocktails, all mixers and soft drinks, from all the on-board bars and restaurants. 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 Standard Balcony/ Single Standard 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. 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, Saga Sapphire, and Spirit of Discovery and are booking their first Saga ocean cruise aboard Spirit of Discovery, Spirit of Adventure, or Saga Sapphire. 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. A note about special offers The offers in this brochure supersede any previously advertised offers and unless stated otherwise cannot be combined. Offers are applicable to new bookings only and for any existing booking disadvantaged by new offers, the Price Promise will apply. Saga reserves the right to extend, reduce or withdraw offers at any time without notice. Selected offers cannot be booked online.

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.
