Yes I too got the email. The quote below is from that email which, given that it was sent out Thursday evening, only leaves two days for "more news"! 🤔 😂 Perhaps they were referring to news about ALL 2025 cruises 😁. Who knows! "Keep your eyes peeled for more news about our 2025 cruises later this week" Edited November 2, 2023 by Medeba typo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david05 Posted November 6, 2023 #54 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Our go to cabin is a standard cabin for 2 people on C deck. Out interest I looked at the discounts on such a cabin for the 2025 cruises - 5 still have a 35% discount and 4 have a 30% discount. Cabins on E and D deck have no better or lower discount (and in at least one case an E deck cabin is currently more expensive than C deck). If you want an E or D deck cabin it certainly pays to pre-register and the earlier the better but you may not lose out on the higher deck standard cabins if you haven't pre-registered (or register late), although how quickly the discounts fall once the cruises are available generally is another matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosapphire Posted November 6, 2023 #58 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I received that email 2 hours ago, saying "general sale tomorrow" First thing this morning the 2025 cruises were live on the website (search all ocean cruises,list by departure date, go direct to page 5). Seems it is possible to make a booking now, so they must already be on general sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandC Posted November 14, 2023 #64 Share Posted November 14, 2023 We didn’t book any winter cruises. The Adriatic cruise looked interesting, but we felt that the departure in February was too early for this itinerary. We have pre-registered for April to December 2025, and look forward to hearing from Saga soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked a 2024 5 day cruise a couple of days ago (it still had a 35% discount on E deck cabins) and I took the opportunity to ask about when the summer 2025 cruises would be available for those who had pre-registered. I was told 'probably' January/February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandC Posted November 14, 2023 #66 Share Posted November 14, 2023 January/February sounds a bit late, bearing in mind that the Winter cruises were released two months earlier than last year. We’re on SofA for the Canaries Christmas cruise, so if I haven’t heard anything by then, I will ask on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Winter 2025 release was almost 2 months ahead of the date the 2024 Winter schedule was released (January 2023 if I remember correctly). The Summer 2024 itineraries were released in February 2023, so I'm hoping that Saga are keeping to same time gap between releases. That would mean the Summer 2024 itineraries could be release in December or January at the latest. Fingers crossed for either of those options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBoy20 Posted November 30, 2023 Author #68 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Advised yesterday by Saga that 2025 Summer release would be late March/early April. I assume that date is Public Launch & pre-registered would start early March. Was hoping it might be Jan/Feb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan was to book a Saga cruise of 14 nights or more in the Summer as my "sheet anchor" and then work around it, but by March early booking discounts on my alternatives (river cruises) may well have dissappeared. So they may well have to be my first port of call if I see something that attracts my attention, with Saga as my second string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really doesn't sound right - the 2025 cruises they have reelased are departure dates January - March, with both ships returning early/mid April. So (a) there are not going to be any departures in April, or (b) they hope that the pre-regs will fill the early cruises so they don't need to worry about the general release, or (c) the agent has given the wrong dates. I am assuming (c). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be puzzled too if I read that comment without the sudden realisation that I had posted the comment without remembering that 2024 (release date) comes after 2023(now) and before 2025(sailing dates). How can I forget a whole year in between?! Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandC Posted December 31, 2023 #74 Share Posted December 31, 2023 We’re currently on board Adventure for the Canarian Christmas cruise. I asked the Saga World rep. when people who had pre-registered would receive the Summer 2025 itineraries. She didn’t know. Not very helpful, sorry! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have expected the Rep to have contacted Saga HQ by E-Mail & advised you of the reply. If the info I received at the end of November still stands the the E- Brochure to Pre-registered customers should be issued around the end of Feb with Public Launch around end of March/early April. My own view is that most other Cruise Lines have already launched the 2025 programme & Saga miss out by delaying theirs!. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
