Saga plc, the UK based company that offers a range of products from financial services to travel to those over the age of 50, says its cruise bookings for next year exceed pre-pandemic levels.

Current booked cruise load factors for the company’s two 998 passenger capacity high end of the market ships stand at 70% for 2021/22, following government capacity restrictions on early cruises, and 59% for 2022/23 departures; bookings for next year ahead of pre-pandemic levels.

“We have successfully recommenced our Travel operations, including the launch of our newest ship, Spirit of Adventure. I am delighted with the positive feedback received so far and encouraged by the strong pipeline of future bookings,” CEO Euan Sutherland said in a statement.
