Saga Spirit of Discovery Cruise Ship Tour & First Impressions - Brand new cruise ship design!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a comprehensive tour and first impressions of the Spirit of Discovery, the first new build ship for Saga. Described as a boutique hotel at sea, the vessel features a contemporary interior design intended to evoke a classic London hotel. The tour covers major public spaces including the four story atrium with its sweeping staircase, the grand dining room, and various specialty restaurants like the Jules Holland inspired steakhouse. The creator highlights the extensive art collection, which includes four hundred original works by British artists. While praising the ship for its design originality and refreshing departure from bland cruise ship aesthetics, the creator notes minor design frustrations, such as the inability to see the bow from public areas and a slightly puzzling staircase configuration. The review also examines the outdoor amenities, including the Art Deco inspired Lido pool area and the tiered aft terrace, which the creator initially doubted but ultimately praised for maximizing views of the ship's wake. The video concludes by noting the high quality of onboard facilities like the fitness center and the complimentary bean to cup coffee machines.
