No,Alicyclic compounds needn't be saturated always.

The cyclic organic compounds which, in general don't possess aromaticity or anti aromaticity are known as alicyclic compounds. As it is clear from the name itself that it is aliphatic and cyclic. Since aliphatic compounds can be unsaturated hence the alicyclic compounds can also be unsaturated.
