Saga, the insurance and travel company aimed at the over-50s, has apologised after customers were sent a brochure advertising a cruise “exclusively for Brits”, prompting a furious backlash.

Twitter user Anthony Bale, who is a university professor, said his mother was “outraged” after being sent the magazine, the front page of which outlined the characteristics of the cruise.

He posted a photograph of the promotion, which read: “Exclusively for Brits. Exclusively adults only. Exclusively for over-50s.”

Here’s the offending brochure:

Anthony Bale (@RealMandeville) Outraged phonecall from my mother: she was shocked to receive @SagaUK brochure advertising cruises “exclusively for Brits.” She asked me why they would say this & if it’s legal. 🤷🏽‍♂️
