I had an email from Saga stating that Summer 2025 cruises will go on general release next week.
-
We’ve just booked one of the Scandinavian cruises in July 2025. A Standard cabin on D Deck worked out at £272 pppn with a 35% discount. Prices seem to have gone up a fair bit!
-
Saga are calling people who pre-registered in 2021 and earlier. We pre-registered in January 2022, so are hoping to get a call soon.
-
I wonder when Saga will start making the calls.
-
01293874810 or 08009885165 These are the numbers I’ve stored on my phone I hope one of them works!
-
When did you pre-register? Folks will post on here when they get the call. If you are still in S.A. then an option would be to ring Saga and ask when you are likely to be contacted.
-
That’s a shame, we liked him. He was due to be on our next cruise on SoD in May.
-
Itineraries have to be planned well in advance in order to book the ports, so perhaps Saga leave it until the last minute to decide what price to charge for their cruises. We are also looking at 2025 itineraries with Regent, Azamara and Silversea but want to see the Saga itineraries before we make a decision. Some of the offers expire on 29th February, so it’s going to be touch and go!

Fred Is Hiring! But is it changing?
LandC replied to twotravellersLondon's topic in Fred. Olsen Cruise Line
The balcony cabins have no balconies, and the Junior Suites and Suites are in fact just balcony cabins, with a few canapés provided. Unless people are prepared to pay for a premier suite they do not get the suite experience. -
Spirit of Adventure - does room service include alcohol?
LandC replied to SailawaySarah's topic in Saga Cruises
I think it depends on your cabin grade. For those lucky enough to be in a suite, bottles of your favourite tipples are provided by your butler for your in-suite bar. We usually order from room service if we want a drink in our cabin. -
We got the free shuttle to Porto when we docked at Leixoes on Spirit of Adventure. There were road works and it took about 25 minutes. We also rate Saga very highly, and are waiting for the summer 2025 itineraries, which we hope be be available to book soon!
-
We received an ocean cruise brochure today, together with an invite to pre-register for summer 2025 cruises, which are coming “very soon”. We pre-registered some time ago, and hope we won’t have to wait much longer! The brochure states that from 2025 the shared chauffeur service will be offered nationwide to everyone on the UK mainland.

Fred to Stop Smoking on Balconies at Last?
LandC replied to tring's topic in Fred. Olsen Cruise Line
You’re right tring, it is a mess. No smoking on balconies and flexible dining has got to be the way to go. We will wait and see what happens now that the new CEO is in post. -
Saga on Track to Deliver Significant Growth in 2024
LandC replied to Host Jazzbeau's topic in Saga Cruises
This is good news Jazzbeau, thanks for posting. I see you are on a Silversea cruise at present. We did that itinerary on Azamara in the opposite direction (Sydney to Auckland), and loved it. We have yet to try Silversea. Saga customers have been notified that it wants to enter into partnership arrangements to enable them to offer more cruises to more guests in the future. Let’s hope these results will enable Saga to forge a successful partnership arrangement. -
If you were on the same cruise as Windsurfboy (see his comments on this thread), then I think you should put your complaint in writing. Saga should pay compensation for the missed ports as they were caused by technical problems with the ship.
-
I hope the remainder of the cruise goes according to plan.
-
One of the passengers has posted on another site that Captain has announced there is a technical issue with the generator. SofA returning to UK to get it checked out.
-
When we boarded SofA for the Christmas cruise there were no books in the library. However, halfway through the cruise they appeared! The dining rooms also only provided salt and pepper in sachets for the first half of the cruise, then salt and pepper pots appeared. We wondered if these were measures taken against the spread of Norovirus. If so, it worked, because we only heard of a couple of cases on board.
-
I understand from another social media site that the ship is staying in Portsmouth until Monday morning to avoid an incoming storm. Shuttles have been provided to visit local attractions.
-
I’m pleased that you have had some success Windsurfboy. I hope others who were on the same cruise will persevere with their complaints.
-
Have you had a response from ABTA?
-
I phoned Saga about another matter today, and also asked when Summer 2025 itineraries would be sent to people who had pre-registered. I was informed that an ebrochure will be emailed around the end of February.

Noble Caledonia - Blacklisted After 39 Trips

Thanks for your reply Charles2108. I hope you enjoy your future cruises. -
Noble Caledonia - Blacklisted After 39 Trips
LandC replied to Charles2108's topic in Other Cruise Lines
Charles2108 I have just found your post in the Roll Call section of this website, and was very concerned to read it, as we have a cruise booked on one of the Sky vessels. Was your cruise on MV Elysium? I haven’t been on that vessel, and wondered whether the Cruise Director is employed by NC, or by the ship? I would hate to think that he might be on our cruise later this year!
