No, we have never sent any kind of probe to land on Saturn. This isn't possible, because the planet doesn't really have a solid crust for anything to sit on; thus the categorization 'gas giant'. Essentially, it is just a huge gas cloud surrounding a very dense metal core on the innermost part of the planet.

However, there were several probes that did flybys of the planet and took pictures of it. Cassini was one of the more recent ones that took beautifully clear images of Saturn's rings; before that came Voyager, which was sent out of the solar system. Before we lost clear contact with the probe, it passed by and sent us information about the planet.

But the Huygens probe has landed on Saturn's moon, Titan

No. Nothing can ever land on Saturn as it does not have a solid surface. However, The Cassini space probe is currently in orbit around Saturn since 2004, however, and the Huygens probe that accompanied it landed on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, in 2005.

Yes. The Voyager 1 probe did a flyby of Saturn in 1980 and the Cassini-Huygens probe entered an orbit around Saturn in 2004, and remains there to this day.
