I’ve just booked a holiday to denia hotel with saga and my travel consultant Risa was excellent. I hope I’ve spelled that correctly. Risa was extremely thorough and answered all my queries. I was especially grateful that she was able to get me a flight out earlier as I will be in Spain before going to Denia.

Extremely helpful Booking Service

Have been forced by local circumstances to make an alteration to booking made several months ago necessitating change of flight times. Accepted by Karolina in brilliant "non panic" terms, returning as promised the following day with full details of alternatives with costs. Duly accepted and put to use.

Despite travelling around the world…

Despite travelling around the world with Saga over many years we were very sad about our experience this afternoon. My husband has a faulty knee replacement joint it appears and we had just been told it must be replaced. We have booked to go to Sicily in May and rang Saga hoping to move our trip to September so that his surgery can be completed asap. This request was refused and our attention was drawn to the terms and conditions that say we would lose over £2500 if we cancelled. No exceptions. We cannot afford to lose this money so we’ll defer surgery and he will limp through the holiday which, incidentally, was booked a year ago to celebrate our Golden Wedding.

Manage My Acount closed for a week!

They asked for payment via Management My Account, but following the link it says that feature is closed for maintenance for a week. A WEEK! Are they all working from home? So, can't get on to manage my account, or to pay.

A five star holiday let down by the Galapagos ship

A five star holiday let down by the key Galápagos part on the MV Legend cruise ship. We boarded the ship late and effectively missed a day for snorkelling because of its unavailability due to maintenance. The ship’s engines were extremely noisy which made it difficult to sleep and it appeared to have no stabilisers. This was a shame as the rest of the holiday exceeded my expectations.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re delighted that so much of your holiday left such a strong impression, but we’re genuinely sorry that the Galápagos cruise element fell short of what you expected.

Your comments give us important insight into where we can make improvements with our cruise partner and we will review the concerns you’ve raised so we can address them directly and work to ensure future guests enjoy a smoother and more seamless experience.

We do hope that you will join us again soon.

Best Wishes,
