I’ve just booked an Azamara cruise with Kat Trinder. First time with Panache and an amazing and personalised experience. What a difference from other agencies I’ve used. Kat was prompt, friendly, efficient and so knowledgeable. Advised on cabin choice, arranged flights and transfers, and booked a great looking hotel at the end of our cruise. Thank you so much Kat - I feel I’m in super safe hands.

Angela Above and beyond

Debra Wouldn’t consider booking with another company

This is the 3rd cruise we have booked now with Catherine at Panache. Once again amazing personal service from Catherine, so happy we found her and Panache a year ago. Wouldn’t consider booking with another company again. Nothing is too much trouble for Catherine and we are so thrilled that we managed to book with her once again. Thank you so much x

Helen Genuinely helpful and informative

This is our first booking with Panache. Georgia has been a delight to discuss everything with, so genuinely helpful and informative. We now have every confidence in our holiday and are certain to use Panache again.

Julia Really nice and helpful

I’ve just booked my first cruise with this company Panache Cruises. Scott was really nice and helpful and we are looking forward to a wonderful cruise!!!

Rachel Nothing was too much trouble

I have booked for the 3rd time with Panache Cruises, (second time with Catherine). Catherine looked at different options for our cruise. We planned 2 cruises in Australia and New Zealand with some time in between the two cruises to do some independent travel in Australia. Nothing was too much trouble and Catherine’s knowledge and advice helped us book our one in lifetime experience.

Catherine provided excellent service when we booked our previous cruise with her. She kept in touch before we departed and then contacted us on our return home to ensure everything had gone to plan, excellent service and I have no hesitation booking with and recommending Panache Cruises.
