SAGA CHAT – Adult Only Cruisers area of special small, personal ships

Cruise Chat is the greatest way to share and discover. SAGA CRUISE group by Doris Visits on the Facebook platform is the place to meet friendly like-minded cruisers. Cruisers who like cruising. Our friendly family has members who are new to cruising right through to some very experienced sailors.

We celebrate these wonderful small ships that can get into special ports. A third is expected, you will hear about it here. SAGA has also joined with Jools Holland for a special dining nightclub. SAGA is for adults with a suggested plimsol line at the age of 50 years old. We hope that is now the lower middle age as we will never see it again unless digitally enhanced and changed. 

SAGA cruise chat group – over 40’s if travelling with someone over 50. Both ocean ships SPIRIT of DISCOVER, SPIRIT of ADVENTURE and the river ships.

On this Facebook Group for SAGA cruises, there is always someone to help on with questions or even a member to share specialist knowledge from diet to mobility. Our Doris Visits chat groups are not a place to moan, even if we do occasionally criticise it has to be done constructively or in a helpful way. Our groups are for those cruisers who love cruising. If someone says they hate the ship, we take that as an invitation for us to remove them from the group. Actually, we don’t – the members report them, we only react. 

With our associated Doris Visits YouTube Cruise Port Guide Channel, presented by Jean, you will find the films we made as cruisers stopping at the world’s cruise ports. Films from fellow guests are listed here. On our YouTube channel, there are specialist playlists on shopping, botanical gardens and religious buildings at destinations. We follow cruise routes… yes, we take you there – virtually.

The main Doris Visits website has a menu for every cruise ship with filmed tours and cabin tours. The destination menu has over 1,000 world ports. We post more including insurance links, tips and PCR testing links.

For those who read on the ship – we have a menu of cozy cruise mysteries and cruise thrillers. The Cruise Ship Crime Investigators series is from us, from years of cruising and knowing the ship above and below decks. Income from the books goes back into the online platforms and widgets.

As Jean Heard and I (Stuart St Paul) sail the globe, her doing her one-woman show Royal Mistresses, and me talking about my books and movie career, we make more films.

Travel Insurance and Antigen Tests are essential. We list some cruise travel insurance companies used by guests and some Antigen Test bodies. We advise that you shop around and read ALL the small print, and use insurance and tests appropriate to your travel requirements and contracts that you are entering into.
