Saga Ocean Cruises FAQs

Do Saga have a flexible cancellation policy?

No, Saga Cruises do not currently have a flexible cancellation policy. However, they do provide flexible cancellation cover should you need to cancel due to coronavirus medical conditions prior to your departure date. Please note this is only available if you add on Saga’s optional travel insurance

Do I need a COVID-19 vaccine to travel aboard a Saga cruise ship?

Yes, you will need to have up-to-date COVID-19 vaccinations including a booster dose with the last administered date at least 14 days prior to departure aboard your Saga Cruise ship. On the day of arrival at the port, it is advised to have your digital NHS QR code ready prior to boarding. This will be needed while visiting ports. The NHS paper certificate will be accepted as long as this covers the full duration of the cruise.

Saga have revised their covid protocols for sailings departing after the 19th of June:

Guests will now only require a negative lateral flow test (administered when guests arrive at the port). The use of face masks on board will no longer be mandatory for guests. Social distancing among guests and restrictions on table sizes will be lifted. Guests who come in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID will no longer be required to isolate; instead they will be tested and will only be required to isolate if they test positive themselves.

Do Saga Cruises cater for special diets?

Saga Cruises cater for most dietary needs as long they are alerted in advance, please inform us prior to sailing so we can pass this information on.

Do I have to pay extra to dine in speciality restaurants?

No, speciality restaurants are free of charge aboard Saga Cruises.

Can I smoke on board Saga’s ships?

Smoking and vaping is permitted in the designated smoking area. On Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of Adventure this is the port side aft on Deck 11.

How many formal nights can I expect on my cruise?

Not all cruises will have formal nights but generally you can expect 1 to 2 for every 7-nights spent on board. Saga Cruises believe it is impossible to overdress on formal nights. A long glamorous dress are perfect partners for an elegant champagne dinner and a tuxedo and box tie are the ultimate in sophistication.

Is Wi-Fi available on board?

Yes, there is Wi-Fi available and it is free of charge.

Can I pre-book my shore excursions?

Yes, you can pre-book shore excursions. Saga Cruises will send you excursion information around 6-8 weeks before departure.

How do I pay for gratuities?

Gratuities and service charges are included in the price of your Saga cruise so you do not need to budget for tips once on board.
