Spirit of Adventure

Spirit of Adventure is a boutique mid-sized cruise ship operated by British line Saga Cruises. Built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, she was delivered on September 29, 2020, and made her official debut on July 26, 2021. Designed specifically for travelers aged 50 and over, she accommodates up to 999 guests across 554 all-balcony staterooms. She was christened in Portsmouth by Commodore Inga J. Kennedy, retired Head of the Royal Navy Medical Service, honoring healthcare workers. While sharing structural dimensions with her sister ship Spirit of Discovery, she features a distinct interior design identity crafted by an independent design firm to give her a unique aesthetic and atmosphere.

The ship's public areas emphasize refined comfort, cultural enrichment, and relaxed social spaces without the crowding of mega-vessels. Leisure facilities center around a comprehensive wellness complex complete with a hydrotherapy pool, saunas, steam rooms, and dedicated spa treatment rooms. Evening entertainment and lectures take place in a state-of-the-art 444-seat theater, while central gatherings cluster around signature social spaces like the two-level Britannia Lounge. All voyages operate under Saga’s signature all-inclusive pricing framework, which covers specialty dining, all beverages, gratuities, unlimited Wi-Fi, room service, and private door-to-door chauffeur transport between home and the departure port.

Dining options span four distinct restaurants along with several cozy bars and lounges. Culinary highlights include The Verandah specialty restaurant, casual alfresco dining venues on the outdoor decks, and diverse multi-course menus served across her primary dining rooms, all included at no additional charge.

Accommodations consist entirely of exterior rooms with step-out verandas and zero inside cabins. Cabins range from Standard and Deluxe Balcony staterooms to expansive Midship and Panorama Suites, styled across three distinct decor palettes using pastel greens, light timbers, or sophisticated dark woods with warm accents. Crucially, over 100 staterooms are specifically tailored for solo travelers without single supplements, accounting for roughly 20 percent of total capacity.

Spirit of Adventure suits mature travelers seeking a mid-sized ship with refined comfort, all-inclusive amenities, and access to longer, culturally focused voyages from UK ports. Record your past or upcoming cruise aboard Spirit of Adventure in your account on The Cruise Globe.
