Ocean of New March - November 2027
WE ARE PANACHE CRUISES
James Cole — one of the most recognized 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 unrivaled 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-traveled, 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 vacation 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 personalized 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.
Our Founders programme rewards luxury cruisers
Our Founders rewards program gives you exclusive benefits and discounts when you book a luxury cruise with us. Collect points by booking luxury cruises with us and move up through the tiers from Bronze level all the way up to Platinum. Refer your friends to Panache Cruises, earn extra points, and then spend those points as cash value off your next cruise; 10,000 points is worth $100. All you need to do is make a booking with Panache Cruises and you’ll automatically become a Founders member with access to all these benefits.
• Free giveaways as you move through the Founders tiers
• Invitation to a full schedule of hosted Founders cruises
• Exclusive luxury cruise offers in your inbox regularly
• VIP access to events and ship visits
• Direct access to James Cole
You’ll also receive exclusive invitations to our Founders cruises, hosted by James Cole. He will share his love and passion for luxury cruising with you aboard some of the most beautiful ships sailing the Seven Seas. The main draw of these beautiful experiences is the sense of community felt on board amongst fellow passengers. 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 connoisseurs 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.
We’re rated Excellent ON

INTRODUCING EXPLORA JOURNEYS
Explora Journeys is the new LUXURY lifestyle travel brand launched by the MSC Group with the ambition to REDEFINE the luxury cruise category.
The concept: Vibrant, cosmopolitan, relaxed European luxury at sea. Instead of cruises, we create journeys – of the mind, and across the oceans of the world, to destinations on and off the beaten track.
On board: Spaces that offer guests relaxed luxury, creating a home at sea. Restoring life’s essential balance with a combination of discovery and appreciation for wellbeing and nature. This is what our new discerning travellers have asked for and this is what they will enjoy on Explora Journeys.
SAIL UNIQUE
Explora Journeys offers guests unparalleled comfort and space, for the first time ever a genuine home-away-from-home at sea.
DISCOVER THE OCEAN STATE OF MIND
Its influence is at the heart of Explora Journeys. The ocean connects us with ourselves, other people, and the places around us. It inspires inner and outer discovery, broadening horizons and triggering new connections.
We call this powerful, transformative and rewarding emotional response the Ocean State of Mind.
“This is the guiding force for everything we do,” says Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman, MSC Group Cruise Division. “Everything we do, everything we offer, is for one reason alone: to ensure our guests reach the Ocean State of Mind. It is the ultimate benefit that makes the Explora Journeys experience unique.”
“Everything we are is BASED on the SEA . The sea gives us energy, lets us breathe… it is at the CORE of who we are.”
ALEXA APONTE VAGO

OUR ALASKA
Deep, unrushed, and instinctively in tune with the world around you, our Alaska is to be explored through the lens of the Ocean State of Mind.
With Explora Journeys, time is on your side. Alaska is vast, wildly remote and striking with its true raw beauty. Here, the sun lingers longer on an ecosystem of fern-covered trails and waterfalls, as bold eagles sweep across the skies. From the Inside Passage to Endicott Arm, Alaska reveals its quiet beauty slowly, seen best by sea.
WHERE WILDLIFE OUTNUMBERS PEOPLE
AND SEASONS DICTATE THE PACE.
Where wildflowers bloom against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and glaciers, and puffins and whales compete for attention with dolphins and seals, Alaska’s presents one of the world’s most animated landscapes.
Listen as the ice shifts at the Mendenhall Glacier; explore the lush landscapes of the Tongass National Forest; or admire the Glaciers of Valdez, Columbia, and Worthington as they meet Prince William Sound. Observe nature at its most powerful at Prince Rupert’s Grizzly Bear Sanctuary or watch humpback whales breach in the Inside Passage.
Quiet and powerful, this SANCTUARY for slowing down is an ODE to Mother Nature - from blue-ice GLACIERS to pristine FJORDS and pine-cloacked ISLANDS .

OUR MEDITERRANEAN
“The sea was sapphire coloured, and the sky burned like a heated opal through air. We hoisted sail; the wind was blowing fair.” So wrote Oscar Wilde as he sailed for Greece and its islands, where every cove, olive grove and flower-strewn mountaintop captured his imagination.
We endeavour to do the same on our explorations of the Mediterranean, combining the beguiling glamour of French Riviera and the Côte d’Azure with island hopping from Sardinia, Ibiza and Santorini to Captain Corelli’s Kefalonia.
WE TIME TRAVEL BACK TO THE CLASSICAL CIVILISATIONS OF ATHENS AND ROME.
Step in awe amidst their ancient ruins and savour the spell cast by Europe’s wealth of great art and glorious architecture. Visits ashore may range from a quiet caffè latte in a shaded piazza corner to a cocktail.
Back on board we channel the people of the Mediterranean, who have long mastered the art of living well.
SUN drenched days and HAZY siestas segue into unhurried evenings with dinner in the WARM breeze– on deck or on land at local trattorias and the Med’s most storied WATERFRONT restaurants.

PIERFRANCESCO VAGO Executive Chairman, Cruise Division MSC Group
LEAVING THINGS BETTER FOR THE NEXT GENERATIONS
The innate respect for the ocean is why Explora Journeys –in partnership with Fincantieri – is committed to building the ships of tomorrow, utilising the very latest in environmentally supportive technologies. All six ships will be RINA Dolphin-certified, ensuring reduced underwater noise, which in turn contributes to the preservation of marine life.
EXPLORA III, IV, V and VI will be LNG-powered, with EXPLORA V and VI also being hydrogen-powered.
Explora Journeys is dedicated to supporting environmental, humanitarian and sustainable development commitments worldwide through the MSC Foundation, a private non-profit foundation established by the Aponte family.
Inspired by the MSC Group’s values and motivated by a deep sense of responsibility for the planet and its resources, the foundation’s mission is to utilise MSC’s global reach and unique knowledge of the ocean to take immediate action that contributes to protecting and nurturing the blue planet. The foundation also supports sustainable ecosystem management, empowers vulnerable communities, promotes inclusive education, and aids disaster recovery efforts.
