Spirit of Discovery

The Club by Jools Holland

Recalling the famous music lounges of the 1950s, The Club by Jools will combine sumptuous cocktails and dining with live music. The cuisine will rival the world’s best supper clubs, with classic starters such as Cornish Crab Cakes and Baked Four Onion Soup. Among the sumptuous mains, you can look forward to Grilled Half Lobster, Surf n Turf Fillet and Grilled Dover Sole with Braised Young Leek and Artichoke. As with all the restaurants aboard Spirit of Discovery, dining in The Club by Jools is included in your fare.

Jools and his band will be playing live on several cruises, the first three of which can be booked now.

The Grand Dining Room

You told us that getting to taste the authentic flavours of the world is every bit as exciting as exploring them, so here you can expect the finest à la carte cuisine served at breakfast, lunch and dinner, in classic surroundings. It will offer open seating, with dinner always served in a single sitting. And like every restaurant on the ship, you’ll receive the highest levels of service from our team of friendly waiting staff.

The Dining Room will also be the venue for the greatest of all cruising traditions – a grand afternoon tea, freshly prepared and served each afternoon.

The Grill

With separate spaces to eat both inside or out, the Verandah and Grill will be two restaurants in one. It will offer a delicious help-yourself buffet at lunchtime, then, in the evenings our waiters will serve dishes ‘à la minute’. Adding to the theatre of the venue, you’ll also be able to watch the chefs at work in a fabulous show kitchen, as they prepare a range of tasty meals before your eyes, often using local produce.

There’ll also be an emphasis on healthier options, should you want them. The Verandah and Grill has been designed to give you the option of a more casual, relaxed fine dining experience, with the same outstanding levels of world-class cuisine.

East to West

Looking to try something completely different at dinnertime? Spirit of Discovery’s variety of restaurants will mean you’ll be able to do exactly that. So make your evening reservation in another free-to-dine eatery, such as East to West, this exciting Asian venue. Here your taste buds will be tantalised by the flavours of the Orient, thanks to an array of authentic dishes and a frequently changing menu.

Impeccably presented, our chefs will bring to the table the full diversity and vibrancy of Asian cuisine, from classic favourites to those with a contemporary twist, such as sizzling beef fillet in Balinese sauce and blackened tilapia with fennel.

Coast to Coast

In a first for Saga, Spirit of Discovery will also have her very own seafood restaurant, serving British and locally-sourced fish, shellfish and other fruits de mer. Offering a modern seafood dining experience every evening on board, Coast to Coast will focus on minimalistic cooking that allows the food to speak for itself.

So whether you want the ‘catch of the day’ simply grilled or pan fried, or have a palette for more adventurous tartare, ceviche and shellfish dishes, all will be on the menu at no extra charge.

View menu

Wine included

A choice of house red, white, rosé and sparkling wines will be available at each mealtime, at no extra charge. In addition, there’ll be a hand-picked connoisseur selection to purchase both by the glass and by the bottle.

Day and night in the ship’s lounge

All our ships have a main show lounge, the venue for a range of entertainment every evening. From live bands and classical recitals, to guest speakers and cabaret shows, it’s the place to take your seat in the evenings and enjoy an ever-changing programme of colourful entertainment.

Cooper’s Bar

Our comedy-themed bar aboard Saga Sapphire is the perfect place to have a pre-show drink. Adjoining the main lounge, it’s easy to nip next door when the curtain comes up.

A change of pace in the Drawing Room

Looking for something different? There’s always an alternative programme of entertainment taking place in Saga Sapphire’s drawing room. Perhaps you’ll be there as it’s transformed into a jazz club, or why not take to the floor for some late-night dancing.

The Spa

Looking to indulge in a spot of pampering? Spirit of Discovery’s serene Spa will be your haven. It’s going to be the perfect place to pamper yourself, relax and re-energise. What better way to unwind after a busy day ashore! After you’ve stepped inside, an inviting hydrotherapy pool will be located beside a steam room, infrared sauna and five private areas for an array of indulgent treatments. It’s just one aspect of the ship’s healthy living programme, which will also include a cutting-edge gym, Pilates, yoga, tai chi classes, and one-to-one sessions with fully-trained fitness experts.

The Salon

Just off the main Spa area, you can step into another world of pampering and indulgence: the beauty salon. Here you can enjoy a range of beauty treatments and wellbeing services, from hairdressing to manicures and pedicures, even eyebrow and eyelash tinting, and waxing. These and many more services are available on the beauty salon menu. Whether you want to look extra special for a formal night or other occasion, or simply want to treat yourself, make sure you book your appointment on board with one of our fully trained beauty professionals.

The Fitness Centre

If you want to really get active throughout your cruise, head for the cutting-edge gymnasium on the Sun deck. Offering views across the Britannia Lounge and out across the front of the ship, it’s a place where you can always feel your best, thanks to a selection of exercise machines and the latest equipment. Nearby is the adjoining Fitness Centre. Our health and wellbeing expert is on hand to offer advice, tailored exercise regimes and bespoke one-to-one sessions, whether you’re a gym regular or are just starting out. These areas are just one aspect of Spirit of Discovery’s healthy living programme, which also includes Pilates, yoga, and lighter options at every mealtime, within all of our fine dining restaurants.

Explore Ashore

On every cruise you can enjoy our exciting new service, Explore Ashore. Led by our team of travel experts, it heralds a brand new way to plan your time ashore.

Britannia Lounge

In a nod to Saga Cruises’ legacy, the ship features a large, fully-glazed observation lounge, just like our first-ever ship, Saga Rose. And like its namesake, the Britannia Lounge is an exciting, multi-purpose venue where you’ll always find something to see and do. During the day, it’s the venue for talks from guest speakers, or simply relaxing while admiring spectacular views. Then, later at night, it comes alive with dancing and live performances. Continuing the ship’s theme of choice, there’ll be two sets of entertainment each evening across various genres including singers, musicians and lecturers.

The Living Room

The ‘hub’ of Spirit of Discovery will be the bright and inviting Living Room. This vibrant, sociable venue will be the place to meet friends, grab a coffee, go shopping, or relax with an after-dinner cocktail. Open day and night, it will serve gelato, fresh pastries and homemade cakes. Then as the evening beckons, it will become a champagne bar, open until late.

The Library

With the feel of a cosy coffee shop, The Library will have an extensive selection of fiction and reference books. So it’ll be perfect for researching your next port-of-call, surfing the web, and catching up with your family and friends back home via email and Facebook. Better still, the open kitchen area means you can help yourself to a complimentary tea, coffee and slice of homemade cake, while relaxing with some ‘me’ time. In the adjoining craft area you can also enjoy a range of free classes and workshops, the perfect way to learn new skills and enrich your cruise experience.

Special Diets

Fine dining is an integral part of the cruising experience and we can cater for most dietary needs as long as you let us know in advance. You can make us aware of your requirements at the time of booking or if you have already booked, please
