The representative Nicola Tempest-Mitchell was really good in finding a suitable river cruise. The dates we wanted were in the next two months.
Hopefully the River cruise is going to be as good as the booking experience.
service was verry good
First time booking with Panache
First time booking with Panache. Karen Aspinall was very personable, took time to explain everything, was helpful and accommodated our requirements entirely.
River cruise
Everything explained very well by Nicola who got us an excellent deal on a river cruise just explained to her what I was looking for and she did the rest
Personal and professional service
Karen at Panache was extremely helpful and really took the time to understand the type of cruise experience we were looking for. Her recommendations were perfectly in tune with our travel style, and throughout the booking process she was both personal and professional. We felt valued as customers and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and Panache Cruises.
Extremely helpful and easy to deal with
Helped me through the process of booking a river cruise, extremely helpful!!!!
Highly recommend using Panache Cruises
Nicola was able to answer all of my questions and talk through the options for our cruise to Alaska. She investigated with the cruise lines to get the best price deal on offer and quickly rang back with an update. The details were sent through by e mail so we had the full information to enable us to select the best cruise for us as first time cruise folks. We got better deal than going direct to the cruise lines themselves. It was easy to book. Great service. Would recommend.

Booked my 4th cruise with Karen at Panache Cruises yesterday. Another excellent experience. As ever Karen is friendly, quick, efficient and extremely helpful. Got me a great price too. The whole process from quote to booking was seamless. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Karen and Panache to anyone looking to book a cruise.
Speedy and efficient for booking.
Speedy and efficient for booking.
Scenic group is the only cruise company to demand FULL payment ONE WHOLE YEAR in advance. Others it's 3 months which gives them first consideration.
Sadly, this is the only option for the Seychelles at the moment!
Fabulous Elitsa at panache cruises!
I love booking with Panache cruises!
Elitsa is so helpful and knowledgable. She helps guide me every time I book a cruise.
She knows the cruise lines, which one is best for the places I want to visit and I love discussing them with her.
She also has loads of patience as I often ask her for different quotes on different lines in different parts of the world all at once, and she just does them all and leaves me to digest them all without any pressure at all.
I highly recommend Elitsa and Panache cruises anytime you need a cruise to anywhere!!
