Explore Ashore on a River Cruise
Immerse yourself in the cultures of Europe cruise excursions
River cruising’s main attraction is exploring a number of towns and cities in a single trip, unlike a traditional holiday. It’s like having numerous city breaks in one go. But where could you visit and why should you explore ashore with us?
Excursions included on every cruise
Every Saga river cruise includes a selection of excursions in the price, designed especially for you.
Our river cruise excursions allow you to explore the port and its surrounding areas while learning about its culture and history, often with a local guide.

Accessibility and Support
River cruises and small ships
It is important to be aware that most river vessels and small ships do not have lifts and the stairs between decks can often be steep.
Some excursions involve a fair amount of walking, sometimes over uneven surfaces.
Please also note that on river cruises and small ships it’s common for two or more ships to moor alongside each other at a berth, and on these occasions you’ll need to walk through the other vessels when embarking or disembarking. We are not able to confirm in advance when this will be the case.
If you have a disability or reduced mobility and are considering a river cruise or a small ship cruise, please contact one of our advisors on 0800 300 400 to discuss the suitability before booking.
Excursions
Excursions will vary in terms of how active they are. They can range from panoramic tours where the majority of sightseeing will take place from your vehicle, to strenuous activities covering uneven terrain and walking distances of over a mile.
We’ll send you a detailed itinerary for your holiday at least eight weeks before departure with information regarding excursions. If you’re in any doubt as to the suitability of the excursions, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss these with you.
If you require a wheelchair or scooter to take part in an excursion, this will need to be collapsible so it can be safely stored in the coach. You’ll also need to be able to fold or dismantle your wheelchair or scooter yourself and lift it into the coach’s luggage hold, or be accompanied by a travelling companion who can do this for you.
While we always try to use the most comfortable, well-equipped vehicles for our excursions, we are often limited by what’s available in a particular destination. So regrettably, if you’re unable to manage the steps on to a coach or other vehicle, you will not be able to join the excursion. This is due to the variety of vehicles used dependent on destination. In addition, as the vehicles used for excursions differ from place to place, there may be restrictions as to what mobility aids can be carried.
Age Restrictions
Our river cruises are exclusively for over-50s. You can travel with a companion who is over 40 though.
Dress Code
A big part of the cruising experience is what to wear and we know how important it is for many of our guests. During the day we advise casual wear, with the evening dress code starting from 6pm.
Ladies generally choose to wear a smart dress or an elegant blouse or top with trousers or skirt. Gentlemen can wear a smart open neck shirt and trousers. A jacket is optional, and we would ask that polo shirts, t-shirts, shorts and denim are kept for casual wear during the day.
You are welcome to dress up for the welcome drinks reception and Captain’s dinner.
Smoking Policy
The smoking area varies on our river cruise ships, so please ask one of our onboard team.
There’s no smoking anywhere else on board, including on cabin balconies.
Wi-Fi
All our ships have free Wi-Fi. Although it can sometimes be a bit patchy because of the nature of river cruising.
Special Dietary Requirements
The ship will be made aware of any dietary requirements if stated at the time of booking and will do all they can to accommodate these.
If you have forgotten to tell us, then please call 0800 506 066 and one of our guest advisors can add this to your booking.
It is also a good idea to mention this to your Saga Cruise Director when you board and they will try to arrange alternative dishes wherever possible.
There will always be a vegetarian options available.
