Our heritage Founded in 1951, we began as a small hotel in the seaside town of Folkestone, Kent. Noting a gap in the market for off-peak holidays, entrepreneur Sidney De Haan launched breaks for retired holidaymakers. The idea took off, and soon he expanded the Saga concept to hotels and tours around the globe. Under the leadership of Sidney’s son, Roger De Haan, we grew into a complete lifestyle brand for the over 50s. We’re still based in Folkestone, our hometown for almost 70 years, and are proud of our heritage as a company who really cares about our customers, and who champions them in all aspects of their life. 2 Contact your preferred travel agent Contact your preferred travel agent 3 Start dreaming of your next adventure Unforgettable experiences you can enjoy in Europe… Follow the footsteps of St James Explore the Adriatic coast on a small ship Make it your own… Our exhilarating walking tour along Spain’s historic Visit charming harbours and hidden islands as We offer a choice of excursions, pilgrimage route will leave you with a real sense of you cruise the sparkling Adriatic coast on a both included and optional, so accomplishment. small-ship adventure. you can tailor your holiday to your Walking the Santiago Trail – page 18 Adriatic Coastal Explorer – page 38 interests.

Home Line’s ITALIA (ex-KUNGSHOLM) is sailing up the Hudson River to her midtown Manhattan berth. (Port Authority of NY & NJ and HAL) THE PORT OF NEW YORK - WATERFRONT REVOLUTION by Ted Scull 1965, the year our PONY Branch was established, produced a bumper crop of outstanding new ships - Home Lines’ OCEANIC in April, Italian Line’s MICHELANGELO in May and RAFFAELLO in August, and Norwegian America’s SAGAFJORD in October. It was also the first full year that our speaker, Ted Scull, worked at Pier 40, the new North American headquarters for Holland America Line. Pier 40 was not a typical finger pier, rather a square facility with a donut hole in the center for handling freight and passengers. It was designed to save longshoremen jobs on the Manhattan waterfront. At the time, freight traffic was robust, and bookings were good for the passenger ships. But parallel revolutions in shipping were already underway, and sooner than anyone imagined. Containerization would almost completely transform the way cargo would be handled and doom New York’s commercial waterfront in favor of the vast acreage available in New Jersey.

  • The Millergram Is Designed and Formatted by Tim Noble, Our Good Friend from Melbourne, Australia and a Former Navigating Officer with the Blue Star Line
    The & MILLERGRAM by Bill Miller billmilleratsea.com Spring 2016 The Millergram is designed and formatted by Tim Noble, our good friend from Melbourne, Australia and a former navigating officer with the Blue Star Line. BOOKS: More scribbling! I am penning yet another new book these days, Maritime Royalty: The Queen Mary & the Cunard Queens, timed for the 80th anniversary (May 1936) of the beloved Queen Mary's maiden crossing from Southampton to New York. It will be a slightly larger book than usual, more of a glossy commemorative. It will be published by Fonthill Media over in the UK. Some sad news! Mainmast Books over in the UK is closing down as of Apr 1st. Mainmast were a longtime seller of maritime books – certainly one of the very best, in fact – and a highpoint for books on liners. They had a huge and diverse monthly list. Competition with internet book selling cast the decisive blow. A great loss! CARGO SHIPPING: Caused by the likes of downturns in the Chinese economy, worldwide cargo shipping is in a slump. Hundreds of containerships are currently laid-up, awaiting cargo. Meanwhile, Denmark's Maersk Line – the biggest containership operator in the world plus other, vast maritime holdings – has seen its profits crash by over 80%. In response, Maersk has sacked 4,000 employees, both ashore and afloat, and also called South Korean shipbuilders to cancel the building of some projected 20,000-capacity containerships. Page 1 CARNIVAL: Italy's Fincantieri shipbuilders has joined forces with Chinese shipyards near Shanghai to build the first generation of Carnival cruise ships especially for the Chinese market.
