On all cruises we set aside a number of cabins within each level at a discounted fare, with the highest discount of 35% for ocean cruises and 25% for river cruises available on selected levels. 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 discount fare.
Please note: During busy periods for holiday bookings, the early booking discount can reduce rapidly. We recommend that you book early to benefit from the best booking discounts and to secure your preferred cabin.
When promoting new cruises for the first time, we contact customers on our Advanced Registration list first, allowing then 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 cruise goers and then everyone else.
Enjoy the on-board celebrations
Step ashore to explore the historic sights of Malaga, from the Moorish citadels of Alcazaba to the ruins of Gibralfaro Castle, and enjoy special events in celebration of 30 years of Saga Cruises. Then, cruise into the Grand Harbour of Valletta, overlooked by honey hued forts built by the Knights of St John in the 16th century. Continue to the Adriatic and Croatia’s Dalmatian coast where the cities of Split and Dubrovnik are brimming with historic sights, such as the Diocletian’s Palace and the Onophrian Fountains. The region is rich in natural attractions too, such as Krka National Park.
On Italy’s Puglia coast visit Brindisi, a picturesque seaside city with remnants of its Roman past, before cruising to Corfu. Admire picturesque Mouse Island and Corfu’s plentiful beaches and beautiful bays, and perhaps visit medieval Corfu Town, which is guarded on both sides by Venetian fortresses. Continue this all-inclusive cruise to the Mediterranean in 2027 to Sardinia and see the grand churches, watchtowers and shuttered townhouses of centuries-old Cagliari. Another historically significant city awaits on Spain’s Murcia coast, Cartagena. A prized port since the Carthaginians wrapped it in ramparts, the surrounding hills are crowned by castles and its harbour is protected by an 18th-century sea wall. Finally, you will be greeted by the unmistakable sight of Gibraltar’s limestone rock as Spirit of Adventure cruises into the port of Gibraltar. Contrast the city’s Palladian architecture with its typically British sights, and perhaps see the stalactites and stalagmites in the network of caves on the Upper Rock.
