Dining

A grand tradition of cruising

Fine dining has become one of the time-honoured traditions of cruising, so our team of chefs on board Saga Ruby work tirelessly to ensure your meals are of the highest standard, cooked to perfection and impeccably served.

Delicious breakfasts

The most important meal when you have a day of activities ahead. You could start with a tea or coffee brought to your cabin while you choose whether to enjoy a leisurely breakfast served in the impressive Dining Room or help yourself from the freshly prepared breakfast buffet in the Lido.

You might even prefer to eat in your cabin, which you can do whenever you wish for no extra charge.

Leisurely lunches

Mid-morning coffee is followed by a hot or cold buffet luncheon in the Lido.

Alternatively, you can enjoy a waiter-served lunch in the Dining Room. There is an open seating policy in the Dining Room for lunch and breakfast, so you can sit where you wish.

Dinner served at one leisurely sitting

Dinner is always an anticipated occasion; sometimes stretching to six courses, you will be able to choose from a selection of appetisers, a dish from the tureen and a fresh salad.

There is always a large choice of main courses, including fish, game, meat and vegetarian dishes, and you can follow this with dessert from a delicious selection of tarts, pavlovas, soufflés and exquisite petits fours.

Each evening meal is served at one leisurely sitting. This means you can dine any time between 7pm and 9pm, so you will never feel rushed to finish your meal.

Dinner on board Saga Ruby is served in the Dining Room. You may also choose to dine in the View restaurant, which offers a more intimate alternative as it seats only 28 people. There is no extra charge - all you need to do is make a reservation on board.

Late-night buffets

After the evening’s entertainment on Saga Ruby, you can round off your evening with a late night buffet in the Lido, Help yourself to a tempting choice of sandwiches, pastries and cakes here.

Catering for special requests

If you have special dietary requirements we will do our best to cater for your individual needs – please advise us at the time of booking. Selected special diets may incur an additional charge.
