Denarius Posted January 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Saga have today announced their intention to integrate the operations of their Saga and Titan brands. https://travelweekly.co.uk/news/tourism/saga-holidays-and-titan-travel-to-be-combined This is imo a sound business decision which will help assure the future of both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo1947 Posted January 28, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Weren't they business partners before now but then went their separate ways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosapphire Posted January 28, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Initially separate companies, then Saga bought out Titan (rumour had it that they really wanted the car and driver fleet,as Titan also ran door to door collection). Saga have at least once attempted to sell Titan, but no takers. At the same time as merging the two, they are apparently putting the river cruise arm under the control of the ocean cruise arm. Makes sense, as on the last cruise I was on some people were on board trying to make advance registrations for the new river boats, and frustrated at being told by the on-board sales department that this was a separate branch, and the potential customer would need to contact Saga ashore. On our only river cruise with Titan, it was surprising how many of the long standing Titan customers were remarking how standards and service had fallen since Saga had taken them over.

LandC Posted February 1, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Titan sell cruises with other lines including Azamara, Fred. Olsen and Hurtigruten, with home pick ups. It would be helpful if they would also offer Saga’s optional included travel insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the new ships, Saga also also sold cruises with other lines - and included the transport AND the optional insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveywavey70 Posted February 19, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2022 The biggest drawback of all of this is Sagas decision to exclude travel agents. They believe that can make it on their own. An expensive mistake that many companies, no longer here, have realised too late was a big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
