The two ocean ships are almost identical. The cabins are the same on both ships. The £346 million ship Spirit of Discovery also has over 1,000 pieces of art. Around 400 are originals. The SoD has now been followed by the Spirit of Adventure and both are at sea.
We have a full ship tour here.
Have you read the thriller CRUISE SHIP ART THEFT? A book where art is systematically stolen and to report it would cause the thieves to vanish with all they have taken so far. The first two books in the series are now out as audiobooks and are great to read on the cabin balcony.

DID YOU KNOW?
- That although you have to be over 50 to cruise with SAGA, your partner does not. They have to be over 40.
- That four-times around the wide promenade deck is one mile of great exorcise?
- That on formal nights, the same meal is served in the buffet, so those who do not wish to dress do not miss out.
- That most rooms have an interconnecting door so you can connect with family, a friend or a carer without them having to be in the same room.
