Saga?s Spirit of Discovery to explore ?Natural Scandinavia?

More details have been shared on Saga Cruises? new ship, the Spirit of Discovery, and its on-board ?Explore Ashore? concierge team which will look to help guests make the most of their time as they explore Scandinavia next summer.

Neil Cron, the line?s shore excursion manager, said: ?While many of our guests opt to join our exciting range of tours, many are hugely independent and well-travelled so once the gangway is lowered in port they are keen to jump ashore to discover a region. The Explore Ashore team has been created to help guests make the most out of a destination ? so if picnicking on Yyteri Beach in Finland sounds fun they can help plan the perfect day from booking a return taxi to organising a packed lunch or giving advice on hiking routes and ?must-see? attractions.?

Spirit of Discovery will launch next summer with voyages including an exploration of ?Natural Scandinavia? geared toward lovers of art and the great outdoors. The cruise departs on August 17, 2019 and sails around the Baltic, weaving a course through the islands that surround Stockholm.

Tours include canoeing at the ?Gateway to Lapland? in Kemi, a river-rafting adventure in Lule? to experience the raw beauty of Sweden?s arctic Lapland or travelling aboard a river cruiser through the Finnish countryside before sightseeing in Pori by road train.

Those who prefer to get in touch with their arty side can join a new excursion to Skagen, which is known for the purity of its light and the school of painters drawn to its wild scenery, to visit art galleries and the studio of artist Peder Munk Ravn. Guests inspired by archipelagic scenery can capture their impressions on paper during watercolour lessons on board.
