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.

Admire Scandinavia’s springtime scenery
Set off on an all-inclusive cruise to Scandinavia in spring aboard Spirit of Discovery. Visit one of Sweden’s trendiest cities, Gothenburg, and Visby, where the medieval old town has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Cruise through the scenic Stockholm archipelago for an overnight stay in Sweden’s capital city, renowned for its art and architecture. Another picturesque approach awaits at Finland’s capital Helsinki, which is surrounded by over 330 islands. Perhaps browse the stalls of its historic Market Square for local produce and see Helsinki Cathedral at nearby Senate Square.
Continue to Estonia to explore the cobbled streets and timeworn spires of UNESCO-listed Tallinn before calling at medieval Ystad, a new port for Saga Cruises.
In Denmark, contrast the cosmopolitan capital Copenhagen, where highlights include the Nyhavn Canal, Tivoli Gardens and Christiansborg Palace, with the rugged landscape and white sand beaches surrounding Skagen, known for its artistic heritage.

Visby, Gotland, Sweden
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
The medieval walled city of Visby stands as a reminder of the Hanseatic League’s power and influence. Set on the strategically located island of Gotland, it was the Baltic’s main centre of trade during the 12th to 14th centuries. Limestone towers and red-roofed merchant houses are encircled by remarkedly well-preserved 13th-century ramparts, and the unique UNESCO-listed townscape is dominated by the towers of St Mary’s Cathedral which was constructed between 1190 and 1225.
Included excursion
An included excursion will reveal some of the city’s main attractions.
Optional excursions
Enjoy a ride aboard a vintage train through Gotland countryside.
Stockholm, Sweden
Arrive 1100 on May 21. Depart 1200 on May 22.
Spread across an archipelago of 14 islands, Sweden’s capital offers a scenic approach by sea. Its distinct districts are linked by scores of bridges. The most notable and oldest quarter is medieval Gamla Stan, home to the Royal Palace and a warren of narrow lanes crowded by 16th and 17th-century gabled merchant houses.

Helsinki, Finland
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Surrounded by an archipelago of over 330 islands, Finland’s capital is aptly known as the ‘Daughter of the Baltic’. The historic Market Square is filled with stalls selling a wide variety of local produce and marks the heart of the city. Nearby lies architect Carl Ludvig Engel’s Senate Square, home to the neoclassical Helsinki Cathedral, and Tempeli Rock Square with its Rock Church. Ferries set sail from here for Suomenlinna fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Included excursion
An included excursion will showcase the city’s array of grand architecture and more.
Optional excursion
Seek out sights associated with composer Jean Sibelius, such as a quasi-abstract sculpture dedicated to the city’s most famous son or visit the Rock Church on Tempeli Rock Square.
Tallinn, Estonia
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Timeworn spires and watchtowers pierce the skyline of this former Hanseatic trading port that has earned its place on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Cobblestone streets lead up past merchant houses to the top of Toompea Hill, crowned by St Mary’s Cathedral which was founded in 1240. Tallinn’s medieval history is juxtaposed against its more recent cold war past that is laid bare in the KGB Museum.
Included excursion
Enjoy an included walking tour through the old town of Tallinn.
Optional excursion
Head out into the Estonian countryside to visit Kadriorg Park, a Baroque palace built by Peter the Great and dedicated to his wife.

A new port for Saga Cruises, Ystad is a medieval town on Sweden’s southern coast. Charming half-timbered buildings and colourful houses line the cobbled streets of its historic heart, also home to 13th-century Grayfriars Monastery. Some may recognise Ystad as the hometown of BBC detective Wallander. Further along the coast is the megalithic monument of Ales Stones, comprising 59 standing stones in an oval formation.

An included excursion is a great way to explore your surroundings further.
Optional excursions
Visit the Ales Stones, a megalithic monument believed to have been constructed at the end of the Nordic Iron Age.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
The cosmopolitan Danish capital is an eclectic mix of architectural styles which attest to its long history. Once a small village, it was fortified when Bishop Absalon of Roskilde built a castle here in 1167. Attractions include Tivoli Gardens, characterful Nyhavn Canal graced with 17th-century houses, the Baroque-inspired Christiansborg Palace and Rococo Amalienborg Palace, residence of the Danish Royal Family. The Little Mermaid Statue, which has been plucked straight from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy-tale of the same name, graces the waterfront.
Included excursion
An included excursion takes you on a scenic canal cruise through Copenhagen.
Optional excursion
A visit to the Christiansborg Palace reveals its resplendent interior.
Skagen, Denmark

Skagen is set at the northern tip of the Jutland Peninsula, near the confluence of Baltic and North Sea. A group of artists, drawn by Skagen’s special blend of exceptional light quality, rugged landscapes and simple way of life, established a colony here during the late 1800s. Their legacy can be found throughout this popular holiday destination which continues to attract visitors with its shifting sands and white sand beaches, colourful cottages and relaxed atmosphere. The Skagen Museum features work by Karl Madsen, Peder Kroyer and Viggo Johansen.
