British Inspired Contemporary Design Revealed for Spirit of Adventure

Saga reveals luxury look for their second new ship Spirit of Adventure, which launches in summer 2020,  in new ship’s leisure spaces.


Features include:

  • Jade green tones in spa
  • Rich velvets in Britannia Lounge
  • Brass trim colonnades in The Supper Club
  • Coral and dusky yellow palette for The Grill dining area

With the Best of British contemporary design, the interior designers at London design agency AD Associates have created an eclectic look with big-scale patterns, sumptuous fabrics and striking colour themes.

Chris Finch, AD’s CEO and Founder, said

Potential Saga guests are looking for aspirational interiors with personality that offer a relaxed and luxurious backdrop to fantastic, attentive service.

Nicola Preece, the agency’s Design Director added:

The interiors will embody the best of British contemporary design. The approach is bold and adventurous, eclectic, and with carefully curated use of colour, offering variation, big scale patterns and a layered palette.

The Britannia Lounge

Here the true ‘sense of occasion’ kicks in with iconic furniture pieces inspired by British design providing a relaxed feel. Fabrics include rich velvets, chenilles and woven textures ­in citrusy yellow alongside deep blues and teals.

The Supper Club

The Supper Club’s outer walls are made from glass with brass trim colonnades which act as screens – enticing guests to enter as they hear the live music.

The opulent space plays tribute to British jazz clubs and the bar has deco-style lamp fittings to create an intimate atmosphere while abstract artworks complement the midnight blue and aubergine colour palette.

The Grill
The Grill, the ship’s day to night buffet-dining space, has a bright palette of corals and dusky yellows – reminiscent of a deco ocean-front, summer styling. There’s bold floor-to-ceiling artwork and the space is transformed in the evening using mellow lighting features.

The Spa

A patina bronzed metal finish reception desk and bespoke concertina artwork as a backdrop create a sumptuous feel alongside shades of evergreen and coral. In the spa, jade green tones encapsulate the space and the windows have laser-cut screens with a weeping willow motif to allow delicate streams of light to enter.
