CARIBBEAN & PANAMA CANAL
WE ARE PANACHE CRUISES
James Cole — one of the most recognised names in the cruise industry — launched Panache Cruises in 2020. Guided by one principle, ‘Nothing is too much trouble’, he wanted to disrupt the industry and do things differently.
Fast forward to the present day, and it’s exactly that ethos that still drives us forward. We exist to provide a world-class luxury cruising experience, from your first interaction with us, right through to your return from your cruise and beyond. We meet you where you are on your cruise journey, be that just browsing, ready to book or as one of our repeat Founders members on the search for your next luxury cruise.
We aim to inspire you with relevant, engaging and inspirational content, answering all your questions and needs before walking you through the booking process with a truly personal approach. We know you want to deal with an expert cruise connoisseur, dedicated to you — so that’s what we are. We know you want a truly unique experience, not a ready-made holiday, so we make that happen. We know you want unrivalled financial security and complete confidence that your money is in the right hands — and our ATOL-approved gives you just that. The list goes on.
The truth is, booking a luxury or ultraluxury cruise has been too difficult for too long, with archaic phone systems, multiple points of contact and significant amounts of time spent on hold. We take away all the fuss and put pleasure back at the centre of the process. We give you the luxury booking experience your luxury cruise deserves.

Your own personal CRUISE CONNOISSEUR
Our brilliant cruise connoisseurs are the lifeblood of Panache Cruises. They’re well-travelled, like-minded cruise fans, each a specialist in a different destination or type of cruise.
Some are hardy souls who prefer the adrenaline of an expedition cruise; others are laid-back and choose the luxury ocean life, relaxing on a cabana with a cold drink in their hand. All of them are lovely, engaging and willing to do whatever it takes to get your dream holiday booked.
You’ll only ever be assigned one cruise connoisseur. They’ll get to know you, understand exactly what you’re looking for and make personalised recommendations based on what you like. On average, each connoisseur has around 10 years of experience each, and between them they’ve got well over 100 years! The devil is in the detail, Nothing is too much trouble — however you want to say it — everything is taken care of with your luxury cruise booking by our cruise connoisseurs.
• Transfers to and from the airport
• Car parking, should you require
• Security fast passes and airport lounge access
• Pre-cruise and post-cruise hotels
• In-resort transfers to and from cruise ship
• Tours and excursion booking
• Onboard dining reservations
… and anything else you might need.

You can choose to enjoy mealtimes together, explore ashore together, drink together and share stories in the evenings. You’ll make friends and memories that last a lifetime.
YOU CAN TRUST US
Head to our Trustpilot and you’ll see we’re 5.0-out-of-5.0 stars; the only UK cruise agency so highlyrated. You’ll find hundreds of glittering reviews about our cruise connoisseurwws and the service they offer. We love that. Making you happy motivates us, giving us faith and justification in our hard work. We love that our customers choose us, time-and-again, as their luxury cruise agent.
Part of our difference is that we are industry insiders. We speak to our cruise line partners daily, keeping each other up-to-date with current goings-on. The benefit of such a strong relationship is that we can offer insights and prices you won’t find anywhere else. Our cruise line partners trust us; we even invited them to our staff parties!
We’re trustworthy too. The Travel Trust Association provides us with a trust account where all customer monies are paid until they are required to pay for your cruise holiday. Panache Cruises is also an ATOL-bonded travel company, which means your holiday, cash and all, is fully protected. You can absolutely rely on us with your luxury cruise holiday.

The Seabourn experience is unlike any other form of travel. It is luxurious, yet relaxed … elegant, yet casual … sumptuous, yet understated. These stunning resorts at sea offer the perfect blend of relaxed elegance, impeccable service, all-suite accommodation, exquisite cuisine and highly personalised destination experiences.
Seabourn’s accommodation features a spacious private veranda in nearly all the luxuriously appointed suites. Guests will enjoy a choice of casual to formal restaurants, including new Mediterranean-themed reservationsonly eatery ‘Solis’, as well as six or more open bars and lounges alongside ample deck space, sparkling pools and the pampering delights of the Spa at Seabourn. The allinclusive lifestyle also makes Seabourn a very social place to be, from champagne on deck to aperitifs in The Club which include exclusive fine craft cocktails.
Hidden gems await among the islands of the Caribbean Sea, secluded spots that are off the beaten track and offer a glimpse back in time, into unspoiled paradise. Guests may enjoy a full day at stunning Carambola Beach in St Kitts for our iconic Caviar in the Surf ® beach
party, where crew members wade ashore bearing trays of chilled caviar and ice-cold champagne. Anchored off tiny Jost Van Dyke, in the British Virgin Islands, the ship’s captain may deploy a unique retractable marina for a Marina Day ® with complimentary watersports for a day water skiing, pedal boats, snorkels and windsurfing.
In select destinations, guests may go Shopping with the Chef ® for fresh seafood at local markets, with an expert Seabourn chef as their guide, then dine on locally sourced produce, cheeses and pates at an epicurean deck event. Or go behind the scenes to explore the fascinating history of Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park on St Kitts or Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua, where Admiral Nelson’s fleet were stationed.
Our extraordinary Caribbean offers something for every traveller. From the luxury of all-suite accommodations to complimentary fine wines and spirits throughout the ship, and a tipping not required or expected policy, Seabourn exemplifies the definition of travelling well.
