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.

Combine traditional Germany with vibrant Dutch cities
Enjoy an all-inclusive, 7-night river cruise through the heart of Central Europe, where you will visit a succession of traditional towns and cultural cities, before sailing onto the diverse Dutch waterways. Embark Spirit of the Moselle in Koblenz and sail to Linz am Rhein, a new destination for Saga River Cruises. Enjoy a guided walking tour from your ship into the medieval centre of the town. In Bonn, see sights such as the Romanesque Minster Cathedral and the University of Bonn, on a tour by coach and on foot. Look forward to a full day in the city of Cologne, where you can choose between a walking tour of the medieval Old Town, with its churches, guilds and merchants houses, or opt for a tour of the UNESCO-listed Cologne Cathedral.
Continue into the Netherlands to visit Arnhem, known for its connection to one of the famous battles of World War Two and the subject of the epic war film A Bridge too Far. See more of the city on a walking tour to the central square to admire traditional Dutch architecture. Join a tour to see some of the highlights of Utrecht, where the medieval heart of the city is overlooked by the 14th-century Domtoren bell tower. Finally, explore the harbour town of Hoorn on the edge of Lake IJssel, once home to the founders of the Dutch East India Company. It has many historic buildings as a result of its early seafaring wealth, some of which you will see during a walking tour.
