After taking thousands of travellers to hundreds of ports and voyages that have spanned the globe, Saga Ruby will be gracefully retiring in December 2013 after a glorious 40-year career.

It's with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to this much-loved ship - a firm favourite with Saga cruisegoers since she joined our fleet in 2005 - but with 18 months before her final voyage and plenty of magical destinations left to visit, you can still enjoy a cruise aboard this British-built classic who truly is the last of her kind.

"There's something special about Saga Ruby. Perhaps it's her classic lines and elegant profile, or the fact that she's the last cruise shp to have been built in Britain. But I think it's simply that she epitomises the magic and romance of a bygone age of cruising". Captain Stephen Angove.
