The answer to your question is basically, "that depends on how you define an ocean".
Saturn is a planet that is categorized as a "gas giant"; meaning that it's atmosphere is made up primarily of hydrogen and helium, and that since the gravitational pull of the planet is so great, the atmosphere just becomes more dense as it approaches the center of the planet. There IS a molten core to Saturn, but the border between the core and the "atmosphere" may be considerably less defined than things are here, on earth.
The gravity on Saturn is so great that humans could not survive, since we would be immediately crushed under our own weight.
The atmosphere is so dense that it is difficult to distinguish it from liquid, and as such, results in the reluctance to say definitively that there is or is not an ocean.
The thick atmosphere of hydrogen and helium act much the same as would a liquid ocean, even though the two gasses are still technically not a liquid.
If you want to call the hydrogen and helium atmosphere a liquid at those pressures, then yes, Saturn is all ocean. If you want to claim that the atmosphere is a gas, then Saturn has no ocean other than the molten core.

Does saturn have an ocean on it?
No, there is no water on Saturn.
Which planet if it was to brought on the ocean will float?
Saturn will float in ocean as it has least density of 0.70 gm/cm^3..
What planet would float if you could find an ocean big enough?
Saturn
Is Saturn the god of the ocean?
No, Neptune is the Roman God. Poseidon is the Greek God.
If you had a big enough Ocean could Saturn float in it?
Saturn is a gas giant made mostly of hydrogen and helium, so it would not float in water like a solid object. However, if you could find a massive enough ocean made of hydrogen and helium at the right temperature and pressure, Saturn's density is lower than this hypothetical ocean's density, so it could "float" in that specific context.
Do objects with large masses always have a large density?
The density of the planet Saturn is less than ' 1 '. If some kind of enormous ocean of water existed somewhere, Saturn could float in it. Even though Saturn has quite a fair amount of mass.
Do any other planets in the solar system have an ocean?
Apart from Earth, there are no other "known" planets with an ocean. However, there is a good chance than a moon of Jupiter - Europa may have an ocean under it's crust, and Titan - a moon of Saturn - HAS an ocean of ... methane.
Is Saturn mostly made of frozen water?
Saturn is made up of crushed up comets (dusty, dirty snowballs), crushed up asteroids (big rocks), and various gases such as hydrogen and helium. Mainly gases and crushed asteroids though.FUN SATURN FACT OF THE DAY: If there was an ocean big enough to hold it, Saturn would float.
What percent of earths density does Saturn have?
Earth is the most dense of the planets, at 5.51 gm/cm3 .Saturn's density is 0.687 gm/cm3 ... about 12.5%of Earth's density,and less than the density of water. Which means that if you could findan ocean big enough, Saturn would float in it.
Would you weigh less standing on Saturn?
Saturn is the lighest of all of the plantes for it's size. If you were to stand on it's surface, you would weigh less than standing on Earth's surface. If you dropped Saturn into an ocean the size of space, then it would float because it is less dense than the water.
How is jupitermoon ganymede bigger than Saturn moon titan?
Why scientists believe a liquid water ocean might exist on the moon
What planetcan float in water?
That would be Saturn, since it lacks in density it would be light enough to float in an ocean big enough for it.
