'Exciting next step'
Saga Cruises’ CEO Nigel Blanks said, ‘We are so excited about the opportunity to expand our fleet of river ships to keep up with the ever-growing demand for luxury boutique river cruising. Today’s announcement of four new ships is the exciting next step in expanding our wider cruise offer. It builds on the success of Spirit of the Rhine and Spirit of the Danube which were launched this weekend and on our award-winning ocean cruise offer…’
The news was announced as Saga revealed its annual results and is part of the company’s wider strategic growth plan.
