The Saga Charter Created with our customers in mind the Saga Charter ensures that, wherever in the world you travel to with us, you can expect a consistent approach to planning and service throughout your holiday. We use our own Q rating system to grade the accommodation, and always ask for customer feedback in order to fine-tune our holidays. Our attention to detail is based on what our customers have told us is important to their holiday, and we work closely with hoteliers and suppliers so that little details, such as a choice of options at meal times or the little extras such as an extra pillow and blanket in your room, are all a part of the Saga holiday experience.

8

Quality is at the heart of what we do Q – the sign of quality As accommodation grading systems vary from country to country, the standards can vary too. Saga has ensured that all of the accommodation we use has our clear Saga Q rating, providing you with a consistent view of the standards across our range of holidays. The ratings are reviewed regularly, and are based on the variety of food, facilities and standard of rooms.

QQQQQ represent the finest hotels, while QQQ hotels provide good value accommodation. Q+ hotels provide something a little extra, such as a great location or outstanding service.

Our customer awards We value the feedback we receive from our customers and use it to fine-tune our holidays. We ask our customers to score their holiday on the accommodation, itinerary, food and staff, awarding those that perform the best either our Top Performer or Highly Commended award. Our Good Food awards are based on the quality and variety of food that is served and range from grade one up to our grade three award. Keep an eye out for these awards displayed on the holiday pages.

SPAIN SANTOÑA

Santoña, Cantabria This traditional fishing town specialises in catching and preserving anchovies, but it is not simply for its catch of the day that visitors flock to Santoña. The town enjoys a dramatic backdrop provided by the mountainous peak of Alto Buciero, and an abundance of history is illustrated by medieval fortifications and Romanesque churches. During your exploration, you will find street art referencing the area’s fishing traditions. The town is located a mile and a half from Hotel Juan de la Cosa and can be accessed via a local bus ride.

Journeying west from the hotel will bring you to Santander, Cantabria’s striking seaside capital.

Its fine urban beaches, grand cathedral complex and busy restaurants offer a lively change of scene.

SPAIN S’AGARÓ, COSTA BRAVA

STAY LONGER FOR LESS :

S’Agaró, Costa Brava

Save an extra £75pp on 21 nights, or £150pp on 28 nights, off advertised prices.

A peaceful resort tucked away from the rest of the Costa Brava, S’Agaró has fine sandy beaches backed by pine forested hills, walking trails to rocky cliffs and hidden coves. It’s easy to see why A-list celebrities such as Sean Connery, Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra holidayed here.

From here you can head to Sant Feliu de Guixols, a typically Catalan town that grew up around a Benedictine monastery which can still be visited today. Just over the headland is S’Agaró’s noisier neighbour Platja de Aro, a bustling resort in the summer season, which has an old town.

Nearby Palamos is also not to be missed – a pretty Catalan seaside town with strong maritime traditions and sandy beaches that attract the crowds in the summer months.

With the showpiece cities of Barcelona and Girona close by, you can trace the life and work of Catalan heroes such as Antoni Gaudi and Salvador Dali.

SPAIN DENIA, COSTA BLANCA

STAY LONGER FOR LESS :

Denia, Costa Blanca

Save an extra £75pp on 21 nights, or £150pp on 28 nights, off advertised prices.

Denia is a thriving port town, from where ferries depart the mainland to Ibiza and beyond, so there’s always lots going on around the harbour, while the beaches nearby are a great place to make the most of Denia's excellent climate.

For an authentic taste of the region, set off on a Tapas Trail – a walking trail of Denia’s old town, which visits some off-the-beaten-track tapas bars along the way.

The maze of streets and plazas of the old town - with their typical cafes and tapas bars - are overlooked by a large Moorish castle dating from the 11th century. A tree-lined boulevard marks the main commercial district, sufficient in size to boast several household name shops.

Away from the coast there are places to spot bird and wildlife including Montgo and El Fondo Natural Parks, or head into the mountains and go wine-tasting in Maserof. Visitors to the park can follow well-marked trails through beautiful scenery, looking out for birds of prey along the way.

SPAIN COSTA DE ALMERIA

STAY LONGER FOR LESS :

El Toyo, Costa de Almeria

Save an extra £75pp on 21 nights, or £150pp on 28 nights, off advertised prices.

El Toyo is a quiet, secluded resort with panoramic views to the neighbouring wilderness of the Cabo de Gata National Park. A pleasantly landscaped beachfront promenade of wooden walkways and gardens extends for several miles to the small resort centre and pebbly trails leading to vast deserted beaches beyond. This is where you’ll find a more rustic Andalusia, where a lot of the region’s fruit and vegetables are grown. A great place to see all this local produce is the Central Market in Almeria city, which is only 15 minutes away by bus.

Almeria has a network of underground tunnels where residents sheltered during the Spanish Civil War, and the city is known for its pretty plazas, Alcazba fortress and Moorish gardens.

Another unique attraction close to El Toyo is the extraordinary Tabernas Desert – the only desert in continental Europe, and famously used as the film set for 'Spaghetti Westerns' such as Sergio Leone's For A Few Dollars More.

SPAIN ALMUÑÉCAR, COSTA TROPICAL

STAY LONGER FOR LESS :

Almuñécar, Costa Tropical

Save an extra £75pp on 21 nights, or £150pp on 28 nights, off advertised prices.

The Costa Tropical is infused with all the character of Andalusia, but it offers a quieter, more low-key holiday than some of the busier Costas along this famous stretch of coast.

Backed by the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, it has its own subtropical climate too, leading to the cultivation of exotic fruits such as the ‘chirimoya’ or ‘custard apple’.

Almuñécar is a resort town that is split across two bays with pebble and sand beaches.

A small Moorish fortress set above the seafront backs onto an old town with shops, tapas bars and plazas.

For fine views over the Mediterranean, head to Nerja and lookout over the clifftop known as the ‘Balcony of Europe’, or perhaps venture into the spectacular caves discovered at the site by five schoolboys in 1959.

Or, for a taste of old Andalusia, take a trip to the Alhambra Palace in Granada, the crowning glory of the Moorish Kingdom of Al-Andalus. The Moors chose Granada as the setting for their ‘paradise on Earth’, and the complex of palaces, gardens and fortresses set on a hillside overlooking Granada, are a memorable sight.

Upcoming events This parade celebrates the three kings associated with the birth of Christ and follows a looping route through the town.

S’Illot, Majorca The east coast of Majorca is where you’ll find the famous Calas and coves, and clear turquoise waters. Walks along coastal paths where there is an opportunity to take in the sea views.

Explore the local area and you’ll discover some of the delicious delicacies of the island, including salty delicately flavoured Majorca cheese, which is made exclusively on the island, and is the perfect accompaniment to Majorcan wine.

For those wishing to explore a little further, Porto Cristo and Cala d’Or are some of the most notable resorts to visit, while the pretty village of Sineu is where you’ll find the oldest market on the island. For a cooler, subterranean experience, visit the remarkable Caves of Drach which features stalagmites, stalactites and a huge underground lagoon.

MINORCA ES CASTELL

STAY LONGER FOR LESS :

Es Castell

Save an extra £75pp on 21 nights, or £150pp on 28 nights, off advertised prices.

Minorca has almost 200 miles of coastline, with some of the loveliest bays and beaches in the Mediterranean. Inland, the island is something of an open-air museum, with more than 1500 archaeological sites including stone caves, standing stones and prehistoric villages.

An ancient bridle trail, the ‘Camí de Cavalls’ encircles the entire 114 miles of scenic coastline and getting out to explore sections of this is highly recommended. One of the best ways to see the island is from the water, so why not take a boat trip around the Port of Mahon?

Alternatively visit Minorca’s ancient second city, Ciutadella, with its maze-like narrow streets.

Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife

Save an extra £75pp on 21 nights, or £150pp on 28 nights, off advertised prices.

The north of Tenerife offers dramatic scenery, colonial towns to explore and a slightly cooler-yet-humid sub-tropical climate, supporting a wide variety of flora.

Head to La Plaza del Charco at the heart of the old town, whose colonial-style main square is surrounded by cafes and bars. You’ll find plenty of local character at the Wednesday and Saturday morning markets too.

Away from the coast, the peak of Mount Teide is the highest point on its continent barring only Mount Kilmanjaro. Politically, this is Europe due to the fact that the Canaries belong to Spain, but geographically, this is Africa.

Your included tours will reveal some of the island’s finest views, including Orotava Valley and Icod de Los Vinos on the slopes of Mount Teide with its famous Dragon Tree.

PORTUGAL ARMACAO DE PERA

STAY LONGER FOR LESS :

Armacao de Pera

Save an extra £75pp on 21 nights, or £150pp on 28 nights, off advertised prices.

Armacao de Pera has long been a popular resort for those seeking the sun and a taste of Portugal.

Once no more than a cluster of fishing huts on the shore, Armacao de Pera grew into the resort you see today, yet you can still enjoy the area’s rich fishing heritage in one of the many seafood restaurants in the area. If you rise early enough you can see the morning's catch being hauled in on colourful boats or fishermen.

Armacao de Pera's central location means that many of the Algarve’s attractions are within easy reach. From here you can embark on boat trips to the grottoes and caves along the coast, practice your handicap at one of the many golf courses, go wine tasting or visit the nearby whitewashed city of Silves or Albufeira, the Algarve's liveliest resort.

MADEIRA PONTA DELGADA

STAY LONGER FOR LESS :

Ponta Delgada

Save an extra £75pp on 21 nights, or £150pp on 28 nights, off advertised prices.

Quieter and more traditional, Madeira’s rugged north coast is where you’ll discover dramatic coastal scenery, hidden trails, high waterfalls and an abundance of flowers. The famed Levada Trails are the perfect way to embrace the great outdoors and exceptional scenery, and as they are well-trodden, mostly level with no climbing or descending it’s easy to explore them, either on one of the several hosted walks on offer, or independently if you prefer. You may also like to visit a centuries-old bodega to sample the local fortified wine or take the courtesy bus to Sao Vicente and venture underground into its lava caves.

Ponta Delgada is very quiet, the perfect place to relax and unwind, but for a livelier scene head to Funchal, the island’s bustling capital. A famous tradition is riding a wickerwork toboggan down its hills, or for a lofty view of the capital take a cable car to Monte. For pure spectacle head to Cabo Girao on Madeira’s south coast. At 2,000 feet, this is said to be the second-highest sea cliff in the world.

CROATIA MAKARSKA RIVIERA

STAY LONGER FOR LESS :

Makarska Riviera

Save an extra £75pp on 21 nights, or £150pp on 28 nights, off advertised prices.

Makarska stands on a horseshoe-shaped bay, sandwiched between the Biokovo Mountains and the Adriatic Sea. Tourism began here in 1914 with the construction of its first hotel, and today it is one of the most popular resorts on the Croatian Riviera. Visitors love its long, level palm-fringed Promenade.

The long stretches of beach here are one of the region’s major attractions, and they are among some of the most scenic of the Adriatic Coast.

Makarska old town is criss-crossed with stone-paved streets and narrow lanes leading you to small cafes, art galleries and the main square. The weekly market is noisy, chaotic and colourful, as is the harbour where you can catch a ferry to the nearby island of Brac.

CROATIA ISLAND OF KORCULA

Korcula Korcula is a real island retreat with its forested hills, peaceful villages and a glorious old town. Vineyards and olive groves thrive in the Mediterranean climate, and quiet coves and white beaches line the coast. The old town is a warren of narrow lanes and old stone houses. At its heart, St Mark’s cathedral is a fine example of Dalmatian architecture.

Explore Korcula’s old town, where the streets are laid out in a fishbone shape, with narrow lanes jutting of the main street at an angle to protect the town and its residents from the strongest sea winds. It’s a fascinating place, packed with cultural, architectural and artistic treasures.

Some of Croatia’s finest wines are produced here on Korcula, so don’t miss your included excursion to one of its vineyards. The visit includes a tour of the estate and the chance to taste and buy the wine, and locally produced honey.

It culminates in the spectacular Dubrovnik Table event, when every professional chef worth their salt presents their wares on a table that stretches the length of the Stradun, the city’s main street.

St Hilarion Day • October, 2021 This day isn’t widely celebrated, but Mlini’s patron saint is St Hilarion (Sv Ilar). You’ll find a church here dedicated to him, and legend has it that the brave Hilarion slayed a dragon right here on the shore!

ITALY LAKE MOLVENO

Lake Molveno, Dolomites When it comes to stunning scenery, Lake Molveno ticks all the boxes. In 2019 it was voted the most beautiful lake in Italy, for the sixth year in a row – a remarkable achievement considering Italy boasts more than 1,500 lakes, with Como, Garda and Maggiore being among its most famous.

After visiting here, you’ll see why Molveno claimed the title! There are stunning beaches and forests surrounding the lake, and the village of Molveno perched alongside it. As the lake is edged by the wildlife-rich Adamello-Brenta Nature Park, you may be fortunate enough to spot some wildlife, though sightings of ibex and brown bear are rare.

With the stunning Dolomites on your doorstep, this lakeside retreat offers some truly special walking routes and exhilarating hikes thanks to the ski-lift, which is within walking distance from the hotel.

Food naturally plays an important role in Italian culture, and great pride is taken in the fresh, local ingredients in and around the region. Meat from the nearby village of Val Rendena and wines from the local Cantina Rotari de Mezzocorona are sure to leave your taste buds craving for more.

ITALY GAVINANA, TUSCANY

Gavinana, Tuscany Gavinana, a hidden gem left off the tourist map, offers a genuine insight into everyday life in northern Tuscany. Set up in the Pistoiese Apennines, it is in an area favoured by hikers and walkers wishing to explore the forested slopes and rural villages.

This is the perfect location from which to venture further afield and explore the classic art centres of Lucca, Siena and Florence – the latter of which is a stunning collection of Renaissance landmarks such as the Duomo’s dome and Arnolfo Tower.

If you aren’t tired of iconic landmarks, consider a trip to Pisa, to capture its famous tower and see the many tourists stood in that equally famous leaning pose. Taking your exploration further, why not head to Bologna, whose medieval towers are simply magnificent.

Location

Amenities

Located in the heart of Tuscan village Gavinana opposite the town church, the hotel is close to a small selection of shops and cafe bars. Gavinana, at an altitude of 2,690 feet, is a hidden gem far removed from the tourist trail and it offers an authentic taste of everyday life in rural Tuscany.

There's a bus service to other villages nearby and the region is excellent for hiking. Gavinana is also close enough to explore the classic art centres of Florence, Lucca and Siena - with their numerous museums, galleries, cafes and restaurants – so you can easily experience both sides of Tuscany. Pisa airport is approximately one-and-a-half to two hours’ drive away.

The restaurant offers waiter-served meals, bar and lounge. There is a lift to all floors, and the hotel features a pleasant garden area in which to sit and relax.

Castellammare di Stabia, Sorrento Coast Nestled in the sweeping curve of the Bay of Naples is Castellammare di Stabia. The town enjoys a picturesque position on Italy’s south-west coastline and being just outside of the typical tourist destinations, has local shops and restaurants which are open all year round. A stroll along its newly built promenade is one of the best ways to take in the town’s waterside setting. In the distance, when looking north, you will see Mount Vesuvius, looming on the horizon. This infamous volcano was responsible for the destruction of both Pompeii and Stabiae, the thriving Roman town that once existed here. Extensive excavations, located approximately two miles from your hotel, reveal what life in Stabiae was like during the prosperous era of ancient Rome. Also reached via a short stroll is the local train station, through which the coastal railway line runs. It is from this station on an included excursion that you will visit the town of Sorrento, 20 minutes away by train This thriving modern town, being just outside the typical tourist destinations here, has local shops and restaurants open all year round. The ruins of Pompeii, visited during an included excursion, are located a 15-minute drive away.

SICILY ROCCALUMERA

Roccalumera, Sicily Typically Sicilian, Roccalumera enjoys a picturesque position overlooking the Ionian Sea. In contrast to Taormina’s seasonal nature - frequented by tourists who swell the city’s population during the height of summer - Roccalumera buzzes with local life all year round and its history dates back to the ancient days of Imperial Rome. Architecture featured in the old town includes churches which date back to the 17th century. Included in its list of important monuments is the Mother Church of Maria del Rosario, a fine example of Sicily’s Baroque architectural style.

Half an hour’s drive to Messina Often overlooked in favour of the island’s capital, Palermo, Messina is often described as a gateway to the island, perched on the northernmost tip of Sicily’s Ionian Coast.

A devastating earthquake in 1908 destroyed much of the city’s architectural heritage, replaced with wide-open boulevards, shaded squares and a sense of calmness not often found in bustling cities. Highlights of your time here may include the Cathedral of Messina, originally built in the 12th century, but almost entirely rebuilt following the 1908 earthquake.

Join us on Sicily’s north-east coast, at the Main Palace Hotel overlooking the Ionian Coast, a short drive from must-see names like Mount Etna, Syracuse and Catania. Welcoming you on this Signature Stay is Roccalumera, a town filled with authentic Sicilian life and plenty of history to explore set against a backdrop of rocky hillscapes.

Location

Amenities

From the front of the hotel it’s less than 100 yards to the water’s edge.

The beach itself is pebbly, which is typical in Sicily. Roccalumera was founded by the Ancient Romans, however, its old town centre was built in the 17th century by La Rocca – a noble family. Notable landmarks of Roccalumera include the Church of Madonna Della Catena, the Church of Santissimo Crocifisso and the Mother Church or Maria del Rasario, the last of which is a fine example of Sicilian Baroque architecture.

CYPRUS LARNACA

STAY LONGER FOR LESS :

Larnaca

Save an extra £75pp on 21 nights, or £150pp on 28 nights, off advertised prices.

Set on the southern coast of Cyprus, Larnaca is a charming city that has grown up around some remarkable sites, both religious and natural.

The city is home to the Byzantine Church of Saint Lazarus, where the saint is believed to have been finally laid to rest. Not far away, in distance and history, is the lakeside HalaSultan Tekka and mosque complex, one of the world’s most revered Islamic sites. Also in the heart of the city are the island’s most important wetlands, a salt lake frequented by a wide variety of migratory birds.

Naturally, as a seaside city, Larnaca has sandy beaches where you can soak up the sun and has a promenade double-flanked by tall palm trees and l cafes. The marina, harbour and pier give you even more of the waterfront to explore, perhaps tempting you to venture out on to the sea with a boat trip.

Upcoming events Kolokasi (Taro-root) Gastronomy Night • September, 2021 Distinguished chefs will be presenting their own unique inspired recipes using Kolokasi at the gastronomic festival.

Christmas festivities • December, 2021 Activities celebrating the Christmas period, including concerts and nativity plays.

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 Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure (‘Saga’ or ‘we’ or ‘our’ or ‘us’).

For cruises aboard Saga’s vessels, Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure, 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 £20 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 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 or credit card. 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 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 British Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office Travel Advice Unit.

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.

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.

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. This is subject to the normal insurance policy conditions and these booking conditions.

the travel services that make up your package. These terms are incorporated into this booking; and (b) any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of and conditions under which compensation can be claimed for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage.

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.

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.

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, Commonwealth & Development 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.

The Saga Price Promise

Travel solo with confidence

Early bookers will never lose out! Not only are you assured the holiday of your choice but if we reduce our brochure price after you have booked, we’ll work out the difference and give you your money back.

More than a fifth of our customers are solo travellers so we make sure we offer single rooms at no extra cost on as many hotel stays and tours as possible. For periods when there is no single supplement to pay, hotels have given us a set number of rooms; once these have been booked we may still be able to offer single rooms but there will probably be a supplement to pay. Therefore it’s always best to book early to be in with the best chance of securing a room at no extra cost.

Fly from an airport near you It’s often easier and more convenient to fly from a local airport, so wherever possible we give you the opportunity to do so.

Group sizes On our tour departures you could travel with up to 47 other guests. If you travel on one of our specified small group tours, you will be travelling with no more than 25 other guests.

Our thoughtful touches When you travel with Saga you can look forward to some fantastic excursions, which are often included in the price, plus a host of activities and entertainment tailored to Saga guests.

As you would expect, these are an example of what may be available and are subject to demand – you’ll receive full details when you arrive.

The excursions we include as part of your holiday will be operated in English – either by an English-speaking guide or, where necessary, through headsets.

At all accommodation we request rooms on the ground floor or first floor if there’s no lift, and we make sure that heating, air conditioning or ceiling fans are a feature where necessary. All bedrooms will have a private bath or shower and wc as a minimum.

Please note: Check-in is usually from 2pm and at most hotels you will need to check out by 11am.

Greater flexibility Wherever possible, we offer you the chance to tailor your holiday to suit you.

Whether you want to add extra nights to the beginning or end of your holiday with one of our extensions, upgrade your flight or room, change your board arrangement or spend extra weeks in your chosen destination we can often help with your requests.

Please speak to our Travel Consultants about your requirements when you call to book.

Q is for quality As accommodation ratings vary from country to country, we show both the local star rating of a property and our own Q-rating based on the variety of food, facilities and standard of rooms.

QQQQQ represents the finest, while Q+ hotels offer something a little extra – perhaps a great location or outstanding service. Similarly, ships are given their own rating, with !!!!! being the finest.

We strongly believe animals should be treated fairly within the tourism industry. As ABTA members, we have a duty of care to ensure that the excursions we offer to our customers meet the Animal Welfare guidelines supplied by ABTA. These guidelines include not supporting activities that involve unnatural behaviour, or those that could be perceived as unacceptable or discouraged practices. We regularly review on-going excursions that involve animals, along with any feedback from customers and outside sources.

Travelife – sustainability in tourism We’re thrilled to be working with a number of hotels that are Travelife Gold Certified. The Travelife scheme helps ensure that certified hotels are reducing the amount of rubbish being produced, safeguard children and the local environment, promote the culture and heritage of the area and protect human rights.

Environment contribution tax We are unable to include the environment contribution tax for Greece, Majorca, Minorca, Sicily and Sardinia, this has to be paid locally by all guests.
