Saga adds new Patagonia, China and Greece tours

Saga Travel has unveiled five new tours including one to “the ends of the Earth” in Patagonia, plus trips in China and Greece.

The operator’s Patagonia: A Tour to the End of the Earth itinerary takes in Buenos Aires, Tierra del Fuego, Torres del Paine, the Perito Moreno glacier, plus a Lake Rico cruise. The 14-night tour, including flights, starts at £3,899 and can be extended to add a four-night fjords cruise.

Saga’s 14-night Immerse Yourself in China tour includes a visit to the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City and the hutongs of Beijing, the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors, a tai chi lesson, a Lake Yuecheng cruise and a panda experience. Prices start from £2,899 including flights.

The 10-night Undiscovered Greece tour, from £1,199 with flights, includes Athens and the Byzantine cities of Ioannina and Thessaloniki.

Other new tours from the over‑55s specialist include the nine-night Copenhagen to Berlin, from £1,649, and 16-night From the Danube to the Dalmatian Coast, from £2,349.

All five new tours, the first of which departs in October, will feature in Saga’s new Exclusive Preview brochure, due out this week, and in its winter-sun campaign from April.

Joe Sutcliffe, head of travel product, said: “At Saga we don’t just like to follow the beaten track, we like to beat a new one of our own. We want to help our customers keep doing the things they love, whether that’s visiting a much‑loved regular holiday spot through to trying something genuinely new and different.

“Whatever our age, our appetite for travel is not diminished; in fact, it’s often the opposite, with people taking more holidays a year than at any other time in their lives.”
