Making a difference

Saga exists to deliver exceptional experiences every day while being a driver of positive change in our markets and communities. Our colleagues live and work throughout the UK, and we operate colleague hubs in London and Kent.

We are proud to support communities through our colleague volunteer days and charitable giving and we encourage our colleagues to participate in events that not only support charities, but also help to bring us together as one team:

  • We offer every colleague paid volunteering days each year, including up to 12 days for uniformed volunteers
  • The Saga workplace lottery distributes money to charities and good causes
  • We support colleagues who are fundraising for charities of their choice through our matched funding scheme
  • As part of our payroll giving scheme, colleagues can donate to charity directly from their salary
  • Saga is proud to be a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, a recognition scheme that rewards the efforts of organisations which provide support to this community
  • We provide educational bursaries for the children and siblings of our ship crew, with 443 children receiving an educational bursary during the 2022/23 academic year

Our history

From humble beginnings to cruising around the world - we’ve come a long way in 70 years. Here are some of our highlights along the way:

Now a rapidly growing holiday company, Saga pioneered tourism in the Algarve, as well as adding further destinations throughout the UK. We also developed the concept of direct marketing. This meant our customers could deal with us directly, instead of through travel agents.

1970s
We continued to expand, adding new destinations in Spain, Romania and Yugoslavia. In the UK, we became British Rail’s largest passenger customer as we chartered trains to carry travellers to and from our holiday destinations across the country.
