Saga Sapphire

Whether you wish to dine in style in the sophisticated 620-seat main restaurant, Pole to Pole (with four intimate, separate zones styled to reflect the continents of Africa, Asia, Europe and America), or book a seat for no extra charge in the the speciality, Asian inspired restaurant, East to West, there are plenty of dining options to choose from. The Verandah and Grill offers a relaxed dining experience with healthy continental buffet breakfasts, buffet lunches and waiter-served dinners where you can watch your food be prepared in the open kitchen.

From St Andrew´s crazy golf on the top deck of the ship to The Clubhouse games room, where you can get competitive with such games as shuffleboard, table tennis and table football, there are always activities to get involved in on-board Saga Sapphire. There is even a PC and learning zone, The Academy, where you can take part in tutorials. You will be spoilt for choice by the many on-board bars, lounges and swimming pools, from the Aviator Lounge where you can enjoy beautifully-themed decor dedicated to heroes of the skies to the Cooper´s Bar dedicated to beloved comedian Tommy Cooper, including a classic humour picture gallery and fez shaped lampshades

If you are a dancer at heart you will love the Britannia Lounge, a venue offering dance classes, live bands and singers, so you can dance the evening away. Britannia Lounge also offers elegant afternoon tea each day. You can even unleash your competitive streak by taking part in quizzes before being dazzled by theatrical stage shows.

A perfect place to relax in the day and soak up the sun is the Beach Club, boasting a British seaside scene. You can make the most of the large outdoor pool, relax in one of many deck chairs and enjoy gourmet fish and chips and ice-cream. You will also find plentiful sun-loungers at View From The Top, which offers panoramic sea views, hot tubs and, in the evening, films under the stars as a big-screen open-air cinema. If you are looking for some quiet time you can unwind in the comfortable, spacious library or enjoy being pampered at the tranquil Aqua Spa, which also provides its own heated pool, hot tubs, sauna and steam rooms.

All Saga cruises cater exclusively for those over the age of 50, so there are no kids’ areas or games rooms on-board Saga Sapphire.
