GET ON BOARD

Raise a glass to Saga Sapphire sailings in 2019 – the ship is going all-inclusive plus there’s a free chauffeur service within 250 miles of the port, plus travel insurance and wi-fi.

Saga also offers a no-tipping policy on the 720-passenger ship to avoid surprise extras, and there’s a free shuttle from ports to town centres.

Sapphire will leave the line in May 2020 after an eight-year stint and her farewell itineraries will include Norway, the Mediterranean, the British Isles and a 33-night Grand Finale taking in Egypt, Israel and Turkey and the Greek Islands. saga.co.uk/cruise
