  • Join us as we embark Saga's Spirit of Discovery. The Spirit of Discovery is currently the newest ship in Saga's ocean fleet. The trip shown in this video was a preview cruise ahead of the ships naming ceremony. It was mostly attended by travel agents and I was invited to attend. Saga have no editorial control over my content.
    During the cruise I stayed in a single balcony cabin which was by far the bigger cabin that I've ever been in. The fact that it is a cabin for solo's incredible. Check out the tour of the ship here: • Deluxe Single Balcony ...

    ** A little explainer about the 'paid promotion' popup box - CZcams defines paid promotion as 'accepting anything of value from a third party to make your video'. As mentioned in the video I was invited onboard by Saga on a press trip, I'm never paid beyond this but the gifted cruise fare means I need to tick this box. All opinions are my own and no cruise line has control over my content. ** 🎉🎉

    Being loyal P&O customers, It was videos like yours which persuaded us to try Saga, we have been on 4 trips with them now and 3 more booked. We won't be going elsewhere.

      Aah! This is the comment I was looking for.
      We’ve also been loyal P&O cruisers, just simply because they have the best itineraries for those of us who don’t want to fly-cruise but, to be honest, their cruises are hit and miss!
      We’ve just had a “meh!” Christmas/New Year cruise on Arcadia. I much preferred the ship to the Ventura, which, for a big ship was pretty cramped, but the vibe was pretty lacklustre.
      On our trip we came across a Saga ship twice and noticed that all of the cabins had balconies, so I looked them up.
      The prices are amazing for what is on offer - I particularly like the fact that you are picked up from home and returned afterwards! That sold it for me. All of the other All Inclusive perks (free tours in selected ports, free shuttle buses at each port and travel insurance), tipped me over to book a cruise for June.
      I’m expecting to be so impressed that I’ll book somewhere further afield for next year, because Saga itineraries are just as (if not more) extensive as P&O!
      And did I mention that they collect you from your doorstep? I just LOVE that idea, I’m getting tired of driving to and from Southampton…
      I’m so excited for this! 😊🎉

    I've been exploring solo cruise options today and for the money, I thought Saga was fantastic in what it offers. So I came to CZcams to see what info I could find, and I found you, brilliant. The cabin you have looks like a deluxe cabin going by the info on Saga website I found whilst researching. Anyhow, I've paused to comment, and so on with the video. I feel excited and have a good feeling about this. I found a cruise to the Adriatic that looks amazing, my fingers ed I get to do that net year. Thanks so much for this video!

      But what's it FOR? That rail 1/2 way up that doesn't come out far enough to be used as a hanging rail (and anyway it should be hung at the top for that); if it's a makeup area there should be a mirror.
      So I'm as baffled as Emma. Anyone have some serious suggestions? Anyone seen something like this b4? (Cos I'm kinda thinking that maybe they got confused in the assembly)
