Spirit of Discovery and her sister ship Spirit of Adventure, due to launch in August 2020, mark a pioneering new era for Saga cruises. They are the only small, new, luxury ships being built for the British market. At an overall length of 774.3ft and a beam of 102.4ft, Spirit of Discovery will sail up to 999 passengers around the world with over 500 crew aboard. Saga, the UKs only independent cruise shipping company, has shown its firm commitment to Britain by registering Spirit of Discovery in London and she will sail under the Red Ensign. She will be officially named in a glittering Garden Party and ceremony in Dover’s Great Western Docks next Friday by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall. Picture date Friday 28th June, 2019.
