January-December 2020
Hello!
I’m thrilled to introduce our latest Solos brochure which
is bursting with a variety of hotel stays, tours, river
cruises and boutique cruises aboard our exclusive
small ships.
We’ve been providing solo holidays for a number of
years, and with more and more people choosing to travel
solo, the team and I have developed some fantastic
holidays tailored exclusively to solo guests.
Whether you like to enjoy a little independence when you travel,
prefer your own room when travelling with friends, or simply want
to visit a dream destination your partner may have already
visited, you can enjoy the freedom and flexibility that makes
travelling solo so appealing, and I’m sure you’ll find plenty of
tempting holidays in the following pages.

are under 30 guests. You’ll be able to enjoy the
intimate camaraderie of a smaller group, and not

A warm welcome
from our Solo Hosts and Tour Managers
They’re the friendly face in resort, the font of knowledge during your
adventure, and when we ask our guests about their holiday, we’re always
delighted to hear what a difference our dedicated Hosts and Tour
Managers make.
Every Solo Holiday is accompanied by a Solo Host or Tour Manager
who’ll create a sociable atmosphere throughout your holiday.
They’ll introduce you to your fellow guests, share their knowledge
of the local area, arrange smaller group visits and activities, or simply
fade into the background if you prefer a little more independence.
They are fully supported by our UK team who are on call 24 hours a day.

“I have worked for Saga for around ten years, and I thoroughly
enjoy the challenge of ensuring each and every guest gets what
they want from their holiday experience. What makes Saga guests
special is their attitude to travel, their thirst for seeing, doing,
tasting wherever they may be. What makes Saga special is their
commitment to providing these opportunities in a comfortable,
efficient and friendly atmosphere and I'm proud to be part of such
a team.”
Elaine Rowe,
Tour Manager
“I have been working as a Resort Host for around 35 years.
Ten years ago Saga asked me to look after a Solos group
and I've never looked back! It was a wonderful experience
and so rewarding. I spend more time with everybody than on
a standard holiday and so get to know my guests so much
better. Many guests I now think of as true friends as I see
them time and again on various Saga Solo holidays. It's also
wonderful when guests arrive for their first holiday on their
own, full of trepidation and then before the week is out
they're booking another Solos holiday with me because
they've had such an amazing time and made so many
wonderful new friends. That's a great feeling!”
heather Coumbe,
solo host
“From my childhood days I had a passion for nature that made me
study Natural History in Costa Rica, my home country. I started
guiding trips through the rainforests and parks in Costa Rica when
nature tourism was just starting, and then became a Tour Manager
for Saga fourteen years ago.
I feel I have now found the ideal job where I can transmit my passion
in nature to these enthusiastic travellers that come to discover not
only the wonders of the tropics, but the joy of traveling with a
similar group of people.”

tour manager

13Amazing experiences await…
Every solo holiday features an exclusive drinks party – a fantastic
way to socialise with your fellow guests during your holiday and share
your holiday experience.
14Sundowner drinks on the banks
of the Zambezi
Enjoying a refreshing cold drink beside the Zambezi, as
the sun sets on another day exploring Zimbabwe, is a
great time to share stories of your adventure with your
fellow travellers and just simply enjoy the views
surrounding you. You may also be lucky enough to spot
some of the local birdlife and other wild inhabitants.
See page 40 for details.
Spend three nights in Vienna
before your river cruise
A few nights in beautiful Vienna gives you plenty of
time to explore at your leisure. Boasting musical
connections to Strauss, Mozart and Beethoven, the
city is the perfect backdrop for an evening concert,
while a sightseeing tour around the city’s Ringstrasse is
a fantastic way to see some of the beautiful
architectural examples. But for something a little
different, a meal in a historic monastic cellar is sure to
be a memorable moment.
See page 49 for details.
Watch the sun rise over
the Taj Mahal
No visit to India is complete without visiting the
stunning Taj Mahal, and one of the best times to admire
this iconic landmark is at sun rise when the soft dawn
light paints the dome in hues of gold and pink. It’s a
great moment to share with your fellow travellers, and
perfect to capture on camera to share with friends and
family when you return home.

Keukenhof Gardens
Known as the ‘Garden of Europe’, Keukenhof is one of
the world’s largest flower gardens. Every year around
seven million flower bulbs are planted in the 32-hectare

displays of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths. Enjoy a walk
