Saga Cruises to honour Camilla, Queen Consort with coronation celebrations

Saga Cruises is hosting coronation-themed events on Spirit of Discovery in honour of its godmother, Camilla, Queen Consort, and King Charles III.

The vessel will depart Portsmouth on May 6 for a 15-night Spain and Balearics cruise.

Passengers can watch the coronation ceremony on board in the ship’s theatre, drink a “specially created” cocktail and listen to the Orpheus Male Voice Choir, which will perform before before the ship departs, at which time the National Anthem will play.

The ship will then host a coronation-themed dinner, put on a celebration show and throw a party.

Saga Cruises chief executive Nigel Blanks said: “We are incredibly honoured that Camilla, Queen Consort is the godmother of our ocean ship, Spirit of Discovery, and in honour of the coronation we will be pulling out the stops on board to celebrate.

“Britain is wonderful at celebrating these state occasions and we’ll be joining in with music, food, drink, flags and bunting.

“As the ship departs Portsmouth, we’ll be inviting our guests to join us for the national anthem ahead of an evening of entertainment and celebration.”
