Saga River Cruises Dining
Saga River Cruises are proud to provide award-winning, locally-sourced dining through a variety of speciality restaurants. A team of expert chefs will create a menu tailored to the destination you choose to explore in a flexible manner, and for those in-between moments, enjoy various afternoon teas, buffets and even private dining served directly to your cabin. Whichever you choose, there are no hidden costs or supplements to worry about as all meals are included in the price.
Dining onboard a Saga River cruise is made even easier by the flexible approach to mealtimes. Whether you want to enjoy open dining or reserve the same table each night, dinner is always served in one sitting between 7-9pm, meaning that you can eat at your leisure without the worry of being rushed to make space for other diners.
Saga River Cruises Entertainment
With ships that are exclusively for passengers aged 50 and over, Saga River Cruises create a programme of refined, relaxing activities. Between fun-filled onshore excursions, unwind with a massage at the spa or settle down for a film in the cinema. Enjoy golf sessions on the sun deck, or enrich your knowledge with wine tastings, lectures and classes when the weather may not be so forgiving. Whatever the destination, however you’re feeling, there is something perfect for you.
Once the sun goes down, Saga river cruise ships come to life with a programme of entertainment designed to make evenings onboard just as memorable as those hours spent exploring the destinations. Each ship has a main lounge where guests can order their favourite drink, expertly served by the experienced bartenders, and take a seat while exchanging stories of the day with fellow travellers if they fancy socialising. The lounge also doubles as a venue for performances which can range from live bands and classical recitals to cabaret shows and guest speakers. Why not take a seat and see where the night takes you?
