Message from James Cole - Founder of Panache Cruises
Founded by James Cole, one of the most recognised names in the cruise industry, Panache Cruises prides itself on its team. We don’t just ‘book cruises’, we craft each cruise holiday as if it were our own trip and we leave no stone unturned in creating the ultimate cruise experience.
We have unparalleled experience and knowledge, but that doesn’t mean we do everything the way it’s always been done – quite the opposite, if we can see a better way of doing something then we embrace it.
We know you want a completely personal service, so we deliver that. Our Cruise Connoisseurs provide a single point of contact throughout your experience with us.
We know you want bespoke holidays that are carefully crafted to suit you, so that’s how we do it.
We know you want a truly unique experience, not an ‘off the peg’ holiday, and we excel in making that happen.
We know you want unrivalled financial security, so with our ATOL approved Trust Account, we give you just that. Your money is 100% safe with us.
Our team is our business. Our people have flair, spirit, confidence, enthusiasm and energy but most of all, we are creative perfectionists.
We simplify the process. Our totally personal service removes the need for automated call centres

PLACES TO EXPLORE
Revel in the amenities and space that can be had as you experience the world from the security and comfort of The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet™. Your perfect, luxury cruise awaits, inviting you to explore the resplendent spaces hiding amongst the epic landscapes, ancient ruins, historic cities and wondrous marvels accessible through the myriad of ports to which we sail.
Allow us to be your guide as we continue to explore the world around us, from the locals you’ve longed to see, to the hidden gems in places you’ve been before. Experience some of our favourite excursions as we traverse the world to engage each destination in its most glorious state.
INCLUDED & UNLIMITED SHORE EXCURSIONS Immerse yourself into every destination by taking advantage of our hallmark inclusion of thousands of incredible, Unlimited Shore Excursions. These excursions are curated with the goal of providing more ways to engage your interests and indulge your passions, from food and wine to art and architecture. That includes over 350 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, providing unique opportunities to experience world history in powerful and tangible ways.
GO LOCAL TOURS Sometimes, the best solution for anyone looking to uncover off-the-beaten-path experiences is to start thinking like a local. Go Local Tours provide a more direct way for you to learn the culture of a destination through the communities within. Spend a day at a family-owned goat farm in the countryside of Andalusia to learn the generations-old way of making cheese or observe skilled local artists in their personal studios on Palma de Mallorca. Experience the world through the eyes of those who actually live there and discover the best of what you didn't know about your favourite destinations with Go Local Tours.
GOURMET EXPLORER TOURS Taste the cultures of the world with our specially curated, Master Chef-led, Gourmet Explorer Tours, unique to sailings aboard Seven Seas Splendor® and Seven Seas Explorer®. Be treated to a particularly French dining experience with Michelin-starred Master Chef René Bérard at his private estate, along with a Provençal cooking demonstration in Provence or be led through the open-air, seaside market in Nice and partake in an exquisite lunch at Château Èze in Èze. Please your palate and expand your culinary knowledge with each of our delectable Gourmet Explorer Tours.
SULTAN QABOOS GRAND MOSQUE, MUSCAT
REGENT CHOICE EXCURSIONS offer another level of engagement. Their unique itineraries like our Gourmet Explorer Tours and/or smaller group formats require a discounted, supplementary charge, which is why we make sure to only select the best. Whether you’d prefer to soar over a glacier by helicopter or be romanced in the halls of a palace by a string quartet, these excursions are sure to deliver the ultimate experiences in whatever you’re seeking.
INCLUDED: PRE- AND POST-CRUISE LAND PROGRAMMES
The most exotic locations beg for more time to experience their sights and sounds, taste their flavours and witness their history. Travel inland to some of our world’s great wonders and soak up the regal remnants of kingdoms past, from Singapore to Sharjah to Cape Town and beyond. However you choose to engage with destinations, you’re sure to discover something amazing on our well-planned Land Programmes to complement your voyage. Our INCLUDED 2 or 3-Night Pre- or Post-Cruise Land Programmes comprise hotel accommodation, transfers, select meals and specialised tours.
SERENE SPA & WELLNESS™ TOURS Transcend the moment as you expand your mind and strengthen your body with a Serene Spa & Wellness™ Tour. Soak in a restorative, mineral-rich thermal spring in Rome or centre your chi with a taiji (tai chi) class on a beautiful and serene beach on Palma de Mallorca. Be refreshed by a Mediterranean breeze as you calm your mind and strengthen your focus through a yoga class overlooking the seaside town of Taormina. Restore and heal your mind, body and soul as you travel throughout the world with our Serene Spa & Wellness™ Tour.

Unrivalled financial security
For complete peace of mind, we are members of the Travel Trust Association (TTA) and fully comply with their code of conduct. Established in 1993, the TTA has over 600 travel agents and tour operator members. The TTA provides us with a trust account where all customer monies are paid into until they are required to pay for your cruise holiday.

Panache is an ATOL bonded travel company, which means that in the unlikely event of our insolvency you can continue to enjoy your cruise holiday if you have already departed, or you have the option to be fully refunded if you have yet to travel. ATOL protection also extends to the collapse of an airline.
Finally, we only partner with cruise lines that are ABTA and ATOL protected which means that when you book with Panache Cruises your money could not be in safer hands.
