Saga Cruises’ Restart Delayed Until Late June

Saga Cruises has announced that it is pushing back its restart date from early May to 27 June.

In addition, the debut of the line’s newest ship has been delayed again until late July.

Saga holiday operations will resume in mid-May.

“The health and safety of our guests and crew has been our number one priority and throughout the pandemic we have made all decisions with their wellbeing in mind,” a statement from Saga said.

“Following the release of the government’s roadmap out of lockdown, we have taken the decision to delay the resumption of our holiday and cruise operations until May 17 and June 27, respectively.”

“As part of this decision, the inaugural cruise of Spirit of Adventure has been moved to 26 July. We have contacted all our guests who have been impacted by these changes and are discussing their options with them.”

The enhanced health and safety protocols implemented for cruise operations remain on track and the line’s policy of only accepting guests who have been vaccinated remain the same.

Saga became the first cruise line to mandate vaccinations for all passengers.
