The over-50s specialist on Wednesday (22 September) posted a pre-tax half-year profit (six months to 31 July) of £700,000, up from a loss of £55.5 million over the same period last year.
However, the group’s travel division’s half-year loss grew from £34.2 million to £51.2 million, with both its touring and cruise arms largely unable to operate due to the pandemic.
Saga resumed cruise operations on 27 June with Spirit of Discovery; second new-build Spirit of Adventure enter service a month later, departing on its inaugural cruise on 26 July.
