Saga introduces more domestic cruises

An additional four round-Britain cruises have been introduced by Saga for next summer.

The sailing durations are between six and eight nights with prices discounted by 35%.

The lead-in with the discount applied is £1,367 per person for six nights on Spirit of Discovery from Dover to the Shetland Islands on July 24, coinciding with Lerwick hosting a tall ships race.

The ship will be deployed on an eight-night south coast itinerary from Tilbury on July 16 to coincide with the Rolex Fastnet yacht race.

Spirit of Adventure will sail from Dover for the Scilly Isles on August 28 before embarking on a full circumnavigation on September 3, also from Dover.

Chief executive Nigel Blanks said: “Our round-Britain cruises always prove popular with guests. As they’re quite short, they’re a great way for newcomers to cruising to find out if it’s for them, and these new ones will take in some fantastic sights from yacht and tall ship races to the incredible coastline of Britain, which is really best seen from the sea.”

The new deployment plans follows P&O Cruises adding another domestic departure for 2024.
