There are two overnight port calls; the first in New York to see the iconic streets decked ready for the big event with Christmas lights aplenty, followed by Bermuda to welcome in the New Year.

Guests can also rehearse and perform in a Broadway-style show on board Spirit of Discovery as she sails across the Atlantic.

Saga Cruises are calling the voyage aboard their first ever newbuild ship, the Fairy Tale of New York, named after one of the most popular Christmas songs in the UK.
