Outstanding Help and a Better Price Too

Melisa was brilliant from start to finish.
She took the time to properly check availability for us and even found an option a week later at a better price. She guided us expertly through every step of the booking process, and we felt completely looked after throughout. A really professional, reassuring service.

Manisha was so very helpful

Manisha was so very helpful. Patience and efficiency personified. As an 80 something the booking process can be daunting and it is so important one is not “rushed”. I was relaxed and comfortable throughout.
She called me back as arranged the next day, giving me time to think through and consider all my options.
Thank you Manisha! Thank you Saga

This was the coastal experience week…

This was the coastal experience week cruise starting May 29th in Croatia on MV Amorena. Tour manager Bobby with his fountain of knowledge and sense of humour and the excellent crew who could not have been more helpful and friendly. Marko produced excellent dishes everyday and Tamara served us with courtesy. and friendliness at every meal and kept our glasses topped up. . The captain kept us safe along the beautiful coast and Tanya kept our cabins cleans. ‘ The rest of the crew worked tirelessly and the highlight was when the sails were hoisted by the them enabling us to sail in the breeze.
