Saga River Cruises

Take everything you know and love about holidaying with the UK’s favourite over-50s travel expert and transport it to European waterways, joining Saga River on handcrafted itineraries that allow you to explore the Douro, Elbe, Rhine or Danube effortlessly.

Saga’s first purpose-built river cruise ship, Spirit of the Rhine explores Dutch waterways and her namesake Rhine River. Dining has been created in collaboration with Michelin-star winning Scottish chef, Nick Nairn, while every area of the ship feels contemporary yet cosy. There is nothing dated about this over 50s expert and Saga ships bring design that makes every nook and cranny feel inviting. Bars feel a pleasure to pass your time at before dinner in restaurants that wouldn’t look out of place beside London’s Fitzrovia’s best brasseries. Cabins are some of the most generously sized on the rivers today, many with floor-to-ceiling picture windows offering your own private view of scenery that makes sailing between destinations part of the appeal. Second Saga River ship, Spirit of the Danube, will recreate the same British sensibilities and style on the Danube from 2022.

Saga holidays are famously inclusive – it’s what keeps you coming back. Just like Saga Ocean holidays, every Saga River cruise includes VIP door-to-door travel service, not to mention a selection of included excursions in every port, dining to include speciality restaurants, a choice of wines, beers, spirits and cocktails, plus those lovely little extras like room service and Wi-Fi.
