CHARITY WORK

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. Become a Founders member

We climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and raised over £70,000 for charity!

Make a luxury cruise booking with Panache Cruises and you’ll automatically become a Founders member.

2.

Enjoy the benefits

At the start of the year, our CEO and founder James Cole celebrated his 50th birthday and to mark the occasion, we pledged to raise £50,000 for Reuben’s Retreat, our chosen charity here at Panache Cruises.

Founders members can gain access to exclusive benefits.

3 Free gifts as you move through the tiers 3 Invitation to a full schedule of hosted Founders cruises 3 Exclusive luxury cruise offers in your inbox regularly

3.

3 VIP access to events and ship visits 3 Direct access to Panache Cruises’ founder

One month later, we were already halfway to our target.

Collect loyalty points

There are a couple of ways to collect Founders points.

The team at the summit

Established in 2012 in memory of Reuben Graham, who sadly passed away aged just 23 months, Reuben’s Retreat is a sanctuary for the families of children with complex medical needs, offering them space to relax and make lasting memories.

3 Make luxury cruise bookings with Panache Cruises 3 Refer your friends to Panache Cruises, earning 12,500 points* each The team there also aim to support families who have experienced child loss.

4. Redeem your points

12,500 points is worth £125 off your luxury cruise. Next time you book with Panache Cruises, you’ll already have cash in the bank towards your next cruising adventure. All this is combinable with any luxury cruise discount or promotion available at the time of booking.

5.

Move up through the tiers

The amount of points you’re awarded per pound spent increases as you move up through the tiers. As a Bronze member, you’ll receive one point for every one pound spent, but as a Diamond member you’ll receive two points for every pound spent. Another thing you should know is you’ll never move down tiers. Your membership level is based on lifetime points awarded, and when you spend your points it doesn’t affect which tier you’re in.

Reuben’s Retreat needs £40,000 a month to keep its doors open and that’s why it was so important to us that we do everything in our power to raise as much money as we could.

By May, we’d hit our initial target of £50,000 and as 2025 draws to a close, we couldn’t be prouder to reveal that we’ve now raised over £70,000!

TIER DETAILS

It was the most challenging thing any of us have done – both mentally and physically – but we are so proud of the achievement and even more proud that we were able to raise so much awareness and funds for Reuben’s Retreat.

Of course, our fundraising efforts haven’t stopped there, with other members of the team completing sponsored ultramarathons and volunteering at the Retreat’s Family Fun Day over in Glossop, all in the name of raising as much money as possible.

2025 has been a year of such phenomenal achievement for us here at Panache Cruises and we are thrilled to have had our service and growth recognised on multiple occasions. In fact, if we were to tell you about everything in detail, we’d need a few more pages! As it is, we’ll keep it short and sweet, but we can’t overstate how honoured we are to see the team’s hard work reflected in the awards that we have won this year.

Our Most Outstanding Year Yet

TTG Travel Awards

To then go on to win Luxury Travel Workplace of The Year too was almost too much to take in.”

This latter award was a huge moment for us, as one of the things we value most at Panache Cruises is our warm, welcoming workplace culture and it was wonderful to be recognised for that. Our Financial Director, Kim Fisher, put it best when she said, “Growth isn’t just about numbers – it’s about people, potential and creating space for others to shine.” That’s why we were so over the moon to be included on the Sunday Times “Best Places to Work in 2025” list, as well as winning ‘Best Agency to Work For’ at the Travel Weekly Agent Achievement awards.

Growth and expansion have been at the forefront of the business in 2025 as we push toward our mission of being the world’s largest luxury cruise retailer by 2030. With this said, it was incredible to be recognised on the UBS Fast Growth Index as one of the fastest growing businesses in Northern England as well as being included in the FEBE Growth 100 List for the second year running—our Founder James Cole has promised that “we will be going all out this year to make it a hat trick of appearances.” See you there in 2026!

TTG Top 50 Awards

Luxury Travel Workplace of the Year

We couldn’t possibly talk about growth without mentioning the launch of Panache Expeditions, our new subbrand focused on – you guessed it - all things expedition. The team have worked incredibly hard building a space for our customers to research, plan and book a truly once-in-a-lifetime adventure and so to be awarded ‘Best Newcomer to Expedition Cruising’ at the ECN Awards was a real honour.

Our awards cabinet is now crammed full of some rather lovely trophies, including one for ‘Best Online Travel Agent Award’ at the TTG Media Top 50 Travel Agencies awards. We also attended the TTG Luxury Awards where we were awarded “Luxury Cruise Agency of The Year”, a moment James Cole described as ‘breathtaking’. But that wasn’t all. He continued, “We were up against some very established and highly regarded businesses.

And we’re not stopping there. Just last month, we won ‘Best Specialist Cruise Agent’ at the Wave Awards and we’re already looking forward to what 2026 will bring (though we might have to build a new awards cabinet).

Final Frontier THE

FOR LUXURY TRAVEL

Here at Panache Cruises, we’ve always been passionate about providing unique, innovative experiences, about helping you tick off your bucket list, dream up new travel goals and create memories that will last a lifetime.

That’s why we couldn’t be prouder to introduce Panache Expeditions, a new Panache Cruises sub-brand that perfectly encapsulates all of the above.

An expedition voyage is more than just a cruise.

It’s intrepid adventure, it’s immersing yourself in unfamiliar cultures, it’s finding balance amidst Earth’s natural wonders, it’s walking in the footsteps of history’s great explorers. Long story short, an expedition cruise is a little bit of everything and we can’t wait to dive in with you.

But… what exactly is Panache Expeditions? What can I use the new website for? How is it different from the main Panache Cruises website?

If any of these questions are on your lips, allow us to explain. Panache Expeditions is truly your one-stop shop for all things expedition; any question you can come up with, we can answer.

Struggling to decide which far-flung destination to visit first? Perhaps you’re unsure which cruise line would be best suited to you? Panache Expeditions can help with that.

Zodiac ride in the Kimberley

Even if you’re at the very beginning of your expedition journey, itching to get that adventure of a lifetime in the calendar but with no idea where to start, you’ve come to the right place. Our experts are the beating heart of the business and several members of the team have embarked on expedition adventures of their own, in every corner of the globe. From start to finish, you’ll have one dedicated expedition expert by your side, who will take the time to get to know you, your preferences and your vision and ultimately craft the perfect expedition experience for you, from handpicking daily excursions right down the category of your stateroom. You can meet our friendly team of experts on the Panache Expeditions website and select the Cruise Connoisseur best suited to you and the trip you’ve envisioned. It’s that simple.

So, whether you dream of snowshoeing among vast penguin colonies in Antarctica, swimming with sharks in the Galápagos, finally ticking the Northern Lights off your bucket list or something else entirely—you are certain to find what you need with Panache Expeditions.

In the following pages, you will find out more about our favourite destinations and cruise lines. The adventure starts here.

The

White

with Quark Expeditions

Pristine vistas shot through with vibrant colour, desolate plains teeming with reindeer and birdlife, the warmest hospitality on earth glowing steadily amidst the most unforgiving of landscapes…the Arctic is truly a land of juxtaposition. With so many lenses through which to view this enigmatic realm, who better to lead the way than Quark Expeditions?

Continent

Whether it’s absorbing the folklore and customs of indigenous

communities around a campfire, retracing the steps of Franklin’s lost expedition, whale watching in glassy fjords, or taking to the skies in a helicopter, the land mapped below like a tapestry, Quark Expeditions have perfected the art of capturing the Arctic at its most beautiful and awe-inspiring.

They say that if you can describe Antarctica, you haven’t been and it’s true. No metaphor can accurately convey the feverish anticipation that settles as you traverse the Drake Passage, crossing the threshold from one world to another. No allegory could possibly capture that first step on land, walking where so few have walked before. No adjective comes close to expressing the sense of awe found amidst the continent’s labyrinthine ice structures. When it comes to Antarctica, you could run through an entire list of writing devices and still fall short.

A complete antithesis to the hectic lives and daily stressors faced by many a modern traveller, a trip to Antarctica with HX Expeditions is not merely a cruise, but an intrepid adventure, educational journey and extreme detox rolled into one. From white plains, unblemished by footprints to uncanny silence, broken only by the creaking of the sea ice, reminders of how far you have ventured are everywhere.

A varied array of excursions offer the best seats in the house for up close wildlife encounters, polar sunsets

PANACHEEXPEDITIONS.COM

Remember to look up! Though the region’s black sand beaches, towering cliffs and tumbling falls make it the stuff of gothic fairytales and Norse myth, it is the Arctic skies that steal the show. Summer sees perpetual sunlight illuminating the landscape throughout the aptly named ‘nightless night’, whilst winter ushers in the famous Aurora Borealis, an otherworldly light show at the top of many a travel bucket list.

and listening to mournful whale song beneath the stars. Led by a combination of weather conditions and your own curiosity, the beauty of an Antarctic voyage lies in the way you can never quite predict what adventure the day has in store. HX Expeditions marries unforgettable excursions with expertled learning, ensuring that each journey has a positive impact, not simply on a personal level, but on the future of this ever-evolving region.

From the mirror-like fjords of Svalbard and postcard-perfect villages of Greenland to Iceland’s volcanic skylines and the Canadian Arctic’s midnight sun, the Arctic is a veritable treasure trove of ethereal splendour, rich culture, history and natural beauty perfectly suspended in a delicate balance.

The Arctic with Quark Expeditions is waiting.

Discover the Kimberley from £8,499PP

WITH NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC LINDBLAD EXPEDITIONS FROM £6,799PP

A jewel-like island oasis in the Pacific Ocean and the muse of everyone from Charles Darwin to Kurt Vonnegut, the Galápagos Islands may just be the world’s best kept secret.

|

PANACHEEXPEDITIONS.COM

Over fifty years ago, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions transported the first citizen scientists to the Galápagos. Now, after decades spent honing the art of tropical exploration, they’re here to lift the curtain for a new generation of curious travellers. In keeping with strict conservation laws, every member of the Expedition team—from zoologists to photographers to astronomers—is both an expert in their field and a Galápagos local. This unique first-person insight imbues guests with both a connection to the region’s history and the passion for the region’s conservation which forms the heart of every voyage.

Of course, the Galápagos’ wildlife is its leading light and it’s safe to say any subsequent zoo visit will feel like a sad imitation. Bask on the islands’ golden beaches and find iguanas and the region’s namesake tortoises catching the rays alongside you. A glance upwards is an ornithophile’s dream with over 150 bird species darting overhead, whilst the azure ocean harbours an entirely new world, green turtles, sharks and manta rays all drifting peacefully through a vibrant coral metropolis.

From paddleboarding around Cerro Brujo and hiking lush rainforests to snapping photos amidst Sierra Negra’s otherworldly volcanic rock formations or simply taking a quiet moment as the sun rises over Santa Cruz, every day is designed to guide you along the paths of history’s great thinkers, in one of the last unspoiled paradises on earth.

Rust Cliffs, Turquoise Rivers And Ancient Stories SEABOURN EXPLORES THE KIMBERLEY

Although there aren’t any cruise lines offering itineraries on other planets just yet, the stark rust-coloured cliffs, thunderous waterfalls and coils of turquoise river in the Kimberley means a voyage there comes pretty close.

Nestled in a wild, untamed corner of Australia, the Kimberley is something of an undiscovered gem in the world of expedition cruising, so far off the beaten path that even the most discerning of travellers don’t know to put it on their bucket list—but thanks to Seabourn, that’s about to change. Whether you’re a history buff, nature enthusiast, culture vulture or all of the above, Seabourn are here to show the world that there is something for everyone down Australia’s road less travelled.

Despite Australia’s somewhat nefarious reputation when it comes to wildlife, the flora and fauna of the Kimberley are not to be missed. The region’s crystalline waters are something of a biodiversity hotspot, with jewel-toned birds and butterflies

above, sharks gliding below and languid saltwater crocodiles snoozing on all sides.

Turtles and dugongs abound amidst the rushing tides of Montgomery Reef, which David Attenborough quite rightly described as ‘one of the great natural wonders of the world’. The sandstone islets and wide lagoons revealed when the tides sweep out are just the first in a series of hidden natural wonders, which include the rainbow mists of King George’s twin falls and the surreal Horizontal Waterfalls at Talbot Bay. Nestled among the honeycomb cliffs and sunken mangrove forests is a wealth of culture, kept alive by the Aboriginal people who still call the region home. With Seabourn, you can hunt for iridescent pearls at Kuri Bay, take part in a traditional face painting with the Wunambal Gaambera people and take a tour of Jar Island’s famous Gwion Gwion art, immersed in folklore surrounding how the art came to be.

If the Kimberley wasn’t on your bucket list before, it certainly is now.

SILVERSEA Presents

An overnight stay at the southernmost hotel on earth.

S ILVE R S E A’ S N E W H O T E L - T H E CO R M O R AN T AT 5 5 SOU TH

will allow our guests to begin their expeditions sooner than ever, all in uncompromised comfort.

Bert Hernandez, President of Silversea

2026 sees Silversea open the doors to The Cormorant at 55 South, their muchanticipated 150-room hotel in Puerto Williams, Chile. The name pays tribute to the indigenous cormorant – an ink-black aquatic bird used to symbolise safe passage and good fortune for centuries – as well as the hotel’s distinctive coordinates. Situated at 55° S (a whole 600 miles south of the current holder of the ‘World’s Southernmost Hotel’ title, located in Ushuaia), Silversea’s hotel will serve as the perfect stepping stone from South America to the vast plains of Antarctica.

With more and more guests bumping the White Continent to the top of their bucket lists, all eyes are on luxury expedition lines to set the bar high and create innovative experiences for a new generation of discerning travellers—and Silversea have more than risen to the occasion. Seeking a homeport that truly felt like the edge of the world, Silversea made the bold shift away from Ushuaia – from whence all Antarctica-bound cruise ships have traditionally departed – moving their trio of ice-class expedition ships over the Beagle Channel, into Puerto Williams in 2022.

When conceptualising the hotel, Silversea wanted guests to feel fully immersed in the breathtaking landscapes and natural beauty of Patagonia at every turn. Each room is decorated with an earth-toned colour palette, warm wooden fixtures, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic views of lush green forest or glassy Beagle Channel. In order to further honour the cultural heritage of the region, all walls will be adorned with hand painted murals, and every room will feature unique pieces crafted by local artisans.

PANACHEEXPEDITIONS.COM

“The Cormorant at 55 South is a tribute to the rich culture, breathtaking natural beauty, and storied history of Puerto Williams, immersing guests in their destination before embarking on their journey to Antarctica,” said Bert Hernandez, President of Silversea. “Every aspect of The Cormorant is thoughtfully designed with our guests in mind, ensuring a comfortable and uniquely Silversea experience.

Each room offers panoramic views of Patagonia, and the hotel creates a deep connection to the local community, providing specially designed experiences

that will allow our guests to begin their expeditions sooner than ever, all in uncompromised comfort.”

Guests fretting about lolling around the hotel, twiddling their thumbs whilst waiting for their ultra-luxury expedition ship to collect them need not worry. In anticipation of the hotel’s imminent grand opening, Silversea have unveiled an exciting array of outdoor experiences for the guests to enjoy before embarking on their grand adventure. From hiking in Parque Municipal Ukika to

BY PANACHE CRUISES

kayaking the Beagle Channel to birdwatching excursions, looking out for gulls, pintails and the hotel’s namesake cormorant, guests will need the two-day Drake Crossing passage to rest up before landing in Antarctica!

From the moment of arrival to the day of departure, guests will be received and cared for by The Cormorant’s phenomenal team – all trained in accordance with The Silversea Way and passionate about providing the exceptional service and lasting memories that travellers have to come to expect when voyaging with Silversea.

Explora Journeys moves to

“This collection marks a new era— one that invites travellers to slow down, look deeper and connect more meaningfully with new parts of the world around them.”

So declared Explora Journeys president, Anna Nash, when unveiling the line’s brand-new 2027/28 Journeys Collection, an exciting, globe-spanning initiative due to extend over five continents and almost 200 destinations.

Launching in summer 2026, upcoming ship EXPLORA III is set to break new ground right out of the gate, bringing Explora Journeys’ ultra-luxury offering to Asia for the first time. With 463 oceanfront ‘homes at sea’, highly personalised service and an array of modern amenities and fine-dining venues, EXPLORA III will play the role of perfect host for guests dipping their toes in the jewel-like lagoons, neon skylines and humming streets of Asia.

Nestled between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Explora’s guests will discover a cluster of island nations ripe for exploring. Once the birthplace of ancient civilisations, Asia now boasts a unique culture, rich history and some of the warmest hospitality to be found anywhere, the past and the present co-existing in perfect harmony.

PANACHECRUISES.COM

EXPLORA III’s Asian itineraries will meander through 47 points in nine different countries, with the electric metropolises of Japan, China and Singapore, the spiritual havens of Vietnam and Cambodia and the beaches of Thailand and Indonesia all on the agenda in a first for the Explora Journeys brand.

steaming bowls of pho, freshly caught octopus served with a flourish in a Michelin-star restaurant or lively street vendors hawking everything from Pad Thai to mango sticky rice—travellers to this region will discover for themselves why Asian cuisine is upheld as one of the finest in the world.

The introduction of Asia is a landmark moment for our brand and for our guests,” continued Anna Nash. “It reflects not only our ambition to continually expand our horizons but also our deep respect for the cultural richness and natural beauty of this remarkable region.

With its balanced blend of Buddhism, Hinduism and Confucianism, every

visit to Asia is a profoundly spiritual experience and in keeping with this, Explora Journeys have upheld their pledge to nurture guests’ ‘Ocean State of Mind’. From the bells of Da Nang underscoring a sunrise Tai Chi class to Japanese tea ceremonies to festivals led by the phases of the moon, each experience has been carefully crafted to embody the joy of ‘sanuk’ – finding happiness in everyday life.

Speaking of spiritual experiences, the regional cuisine Explora Journeys’ guests will sample whilst touring Asia is nothing short of one. Plump soup dumplings,

Whichever exciting itinerary guests opt for, they’re guaranteed overnight

stays in at least one of Asia’s most celebrated ports – Hong Kong, Tokyo, Ho Chi Minh City, Bali and Osaka, to name a few – often coinciding with significant calendar events. From strolling through the sugar pink flurries of Nagoya’s cherry blossom season and revelling in the buzz of Shanghai’s Golden Week to sipping tea under the amber canopies of a Kyoto autumn and ushering in Chinese New Year with a breathtaking fireworks display, a trip to Asia with Explora Journeys will be a truly unforgettable adventure.

This is Your Seabourn

Pool deck

On board your Seabourn voyage, nothing feels massproduced or routine. With stunning all-suite accommodation and beautiful public areas (which never feel busy), Seabourn ships feel like private clubs at sea. Wander from the open-air whirlpool to the observation lounge, greeted by name, your favourite aperitif waiting, the pianist already playing your favourite song.

Every detail has been thought through, every comfort quietly elevated.

MOMENT

This is where the true added value lies. Caviar served al fresco beneath a blanket of stars—or on a surfboard at a private beach during Seabourn’s signature ‘Caviar in the Surf’ event—fine wines poured generously at dinner, world-class dining crafted in partnership with celebrated chefs, all included. There’s no constant signing of bills, no mental arithmetic. You are free simply to be present in each moment, knowing that everything is already taken care of.

It’s in these moments that Seabourn reveals its true uniqueness and its ‘nothing is too much trouble’ atmosphere. Every day brings effortless luxury and unforgettable experiences. Next time you’re debating which cruise to take, discover what your Seabourn Moment will be.

The Retreat

ot every memorable moment on a cruise has to be a big, flashy or show-stopping experience. Sometimes the most memorable moments are the small, quiet, intimate experiences that no matter how understated, you’ll treasure forever.

Pool deck

A perfectly chilled glass of champagne appears seemingly from nowhere just as the sun sets into the horizon.

You didn’t ask. You didn’t need to. Your waiter remembered how you like it from the very first evening. That intuitive, almost telepathic service is the essence of Seabourn; ultra-luxury is not a spectacle, but a way of making you feel effortlessly and unmistakably special.

A Seabourn Moment might be a chef-hosted market tour in a hidden Mediterranean port, followed by a private tasting back on board. It might be stepping out onto your verandah at dawn, coffee in hand, with only the quiet rush of the ocean for company. It might even be a member of the crew going out of their way to arrange a surprise celebration—one of the Panache Cruises team experienced this herself on Seabourn Ovation, when her partner teamed up with the Cruise Director to organise a surprise proposal!

A New Era For Oceania Cruises

Panache Cruises Founder and CEO, James Cole, shares highlights from his recent journey with Oceania Cruises. “In early 2025 I had the joy of hosting a group of 32 guests aboard Oceania Cruises’ newest ship, Vista, for a Founders hosted adventure and what a journey it turned out to be. From the moment we sailed out of Los Angeles, there was this buzz of excitement in the air.”

“The food on board was every bit as impressive as the itinerary. Red Ginger continues to be one of my all-time favourite restaurants at sea. And to top it all off, I got to celebrate a big birthday in true style at Polo Grill, where I took on a 34oz Porterhouse steak… and yes, I absolutely demolished it.” “I’m very excited to see what Oceania does to make Sonata bigger and better than before. They’re consistently one of my favourite, go-to cruise lines and this new era of luxury cruising is a fantastic step forward for the brand.”

In an era when cruise lines increasingly chase size and spectacle, Oceania Cruises is making a different and arguably wiser choice with their newly-announced Sonata Class ships.

Oceania Vista set the precedent for luxury cruising with the stunning Allura Class when it debuted in 2023, followed by Oceania Allura a year later. But now, Oceania Cruises is welcoming in a new era of cruising.

Enter…Oceania Sonata. Combining intimacy, culinary excellence and thoughtful, destination-led travel, this ship is scheduled to debut in 2027.

With 1,390 guest capacity, it’s set to be Oceania Cruises’ most spacious and best-equipped ship yet.

Oceania Cruises has always claimed to have the ‘finest cuisine at sea’ and Sonata will be taking this concept to a whole new level, with new dining spots to enjoy on board. And this isn’t the only new feature to appear on the upcoming vessel. Suites will make up 30% of the onboard accommodation and more casual public spaces will be expanded.

Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises says “We are delighted to unveil Oceania Sonata, the start of our exciting next chapter, as we forge our fantastic future as leaders in luxury cruising,” He goes on to note “Each new ship offers an opportunity to reimagine and perfect the travel experience, and as the inaugural vessel of our Sonata Class, Oceania Sonata embodies our vision for the future – one defined by a passion for exquisite cuisine, exceptional service and immersive travel experiences – and we cannot wait to share more news in the coming weeks and months.”

Those in search of once-in-a-lifetime, bucket-list experiences need look no further than Scenic Ikon; guests will be hard-pressed to find a range of technologically advanced amenities that could rival those of this ship.

Where else can you weave through otherworldly topography on an Airbus H130-T2 helicopter one day, and trawl the deep in a custom designed Triton AVA submersible the next? In addition, the ship also boasts a fleet of Zodiacs and a newly enhanced Marina, offering water sports such as paddleboarding, snorkelling and Seabob diving.

THE BIRTH OF AN

T

IKON

he sun-drenched coastlines of the Mediterranean, the rich culture and mythic history of Egypt, the vast frozen plains of Antarctica. On the surface, these places seem to have nothing in common, but one thing unites them…they’ll all set the stage for the Scenic Difference as the line unveils their latest ship, Scenic Ikon.

Sumptuous, spacious and state-ofthe-art, Scenic Ikon is projected to be bigger and more luxurious than even Scenic’s existing Eclipse-class ships, which have thus far dominated the world of yacht-style cruising.

44

|

PANACHECRUISES.COM

Ikon will measure 205 metres and accommodate 270 passengers across 135 all-veranda suites (that’s 37 metres longer and housing 40 more passengers than Scenic Eclipse, for anyone who keeps a record of these things.)

What’s more, Scenic Ikon has been meticulously designed to meet Polar Code 6 and Ice Class 1A Super Standards, meaning she will fare just as well in the unforgiving Antarctic climate as the balmy Mediterranean where she will spend 70% of her time. Excitingly, this provides Scenic Ikon with the unique accolade of being a fully global ship.

All this high-tech kit means that guests can explore the outside world in true style…if they manage to drag themselves away from the luxurious amenities within the ship, that is. Each suite is the very definition of ‘opulent’, complete with personalised butler service, separate sleep and lounge areas and a private terrace. In keeping with the line’s trademark all-inclusive offer, Scenic Ikon boasts the most expansive onboard experience yet, with 15 dining venues (including a tapas restaurant, plant-based eatery and an artisanal gelateria, all of which are new-to-brand) an innovative in-the-round theatre, an array of bars, lounges and social spaces and the two-storey Senses Rejuvenation Spa and Fitness Centre. Days will be filled with immersive shore excursions, diverse entertainment and cultural events, all thoughtfully curated to reflect the unique charms of each destination.

Set to debut in April 2028, Scenic Ikon is off to a flying start, with her first two sailings already sold out. Her maiden season will kick off in Venice and follow a path through the Mediterranean, the Aegean, Egypt and Cape Verde, before heading south for the Chilean Fjords and her first Antarctica season. In total, Ikon will visit 110 ports across 21 countries, introducing the Scenic Difference to a total of 26 new destinations.

Scenic Ikon marks a new chapter for the luxury cruising industry, transporting guests to bucket-list hotspots and isolated hidden gems alike, without ever compromising on style, service and cutting-edge sustainability measures.

Art

They say that three is the magic number and it’s certainly true for Emerald Cruises. With a hat trick of new superyachts on the horizon, their quest to redefine the world of luxury yacht cruising is well underway—and first up to the plate is Emerald Kaia.

Set to debut in April 2026, Emerald Kaia will be the line’s third yacht, but the first to accommodate over 100 passengers (128 to be exact) across 64 high-end staterooms, 88% of which boast private verandas. With a refreshingly contemporary design, spacious layout and selection of home-away-from-home comforts, nobody could be blamed for wishing to luxuriate in their sumptuous stateroom for the duration of the voyage.

It may sound like the perfect way to spend a cruise, but with Emerald Cruises’ most impressive amenities offering yet right outside the stateroom door, the best is yet to come.

With more and more guests opting to leave the stresses and strains of day-to-day life behind in favour of a wellness-focused cruise, it’s little surprise that Emerald have opted to increase the size of their spa

and wellness facilities by 50%.

The all-new and improved Elements Spa will be situated on the lower deck (aptly dubbed the ‘Wellness Deck’) and feature a cold plunge pool, infrared sauna and a salt therapy lounge. In the gym, guests will find facilities for both indoor and outdoor workouts, as well as direct access to a swim-up platform at the stern, outfitted with indoor lounge, aquatic toys and - perhaps most excitingly - an inflatable slide. For those feeling a little less gung-ho, there is a new sun deck at the front

of Kaia

of the ship, where guests can while away the days watching the sunrise, cup of coffee in hand, taking a dip in the pool or catching some rays on the loungers with a book. By night, it’s panoramic views and custom cocktails in the revamped 5,500 square foot Sky Deck, complete with bar, cabanas and lounge, the perfect place for pre-dinner drinks and canapés.

Emerald Kaia, watersports

Of course, cuisine is a highlight on any Emerald Cruise, from fine dining to light bites, so guests will be delighted to find firm favourites La Cucina and the Aqua Café in pride of place aboard Emerald Kaia. However, they’ll also have the opportunity to revitalise their tastebuds in a new-to-brand venue, the Night Market Grill, a speciality dining experience with an Asian twist.

Emerald Kaia’s maiden voyage will depart from Limassol, Cyprus and traverse the Aegean Sea, offering guests the opportunity to celebrate Easter in Greece and experience a private classical concert amidst the ruins of Ephesus, Turkey. Following this, she will call the balmy regions of the Mediterranean, the Adriatic Coast and the Seychelles her home.

Crucially, Emerald Kaia’s larger size and increased number of passengers doesn’t come at the cost of the line’s primary aim. Thoughtfully curated itineraries, off-the-beaten-trackadventures and secluded ports are still at the heart of everything they do, and they are still able to navigate the quiet coastlines and smaller ports that big ships simply can’t access. With two further superyachts on the cards for 2027 – Emerald Raiya and Emerald Xara – luxury, immersion and connection remain the names of the game— and Emerald Cruises is the reigning champion.

Discover the magic of a world so distant from ours and walk the path less travelled. Delve into local cuisine, revel in beautiful traditions and immerse yourself in history and culture on a Mekong cruise with AmaWaterways.

Our founder and CEO, James Cole did just that, describing his voyage as “a truly remarkable and breathtaking experience that will live long in the memory.”

Vietnam is a land of captivating contrasts and unforgettable experiences. Throughout your once-ina-lifetime voyage you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a dynamic fusion of modern energy and rich cultural heritage, including AmaWaterways’ exclusive land programmes which take guests on a whirlwind tour of the nation’s capital, Hanoi, and an extraordinary journey through Ha Long Bay, an optional extension which James asserts is “absolutely worth it.”

Across the border in Cambodia, step beyond the beaten path and gain a rare and intimate glimpse into traditional daily life where culture thrives and heritage runs deep. Be graciously welcomed into a serene Buddhist monastery for a “profoundly moving” blessing ceremony, learn about the

nation’s dark history in Phnom Penh and venture to the ancient site of Angkor Wat. AmaWaterways brings the majestic Mekong River to life in a way that feels both intimate and grand. Aboard their flagship vessel, AmaDara, travellers are welcomed into ultimate luxury combined with colonial flair. Each twinbalcony stateroom invites the ever-shifting landscapes, while public spaces like the Saigon Lounge, pool deck and spa offer serene havens to unwind.

Culinary experiences are equally immersive on board as chefs seamlessly blend locally inspired Vietnamese and Cambodian flavours with world-class dining. Beyond the ship, AmaWaterways’ signature shore excursions reveal the heart of the Mekong from vibrant floating markets and rural fishing villages to ancient temples and silk-weaving communities. It’s not just a river cruise, it’s a sophisticated journey captivating the soul of the region. In the words of James, “I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively over the past 20 years, but this experience is undoubtedly the pinnacle of my travels to date.”

Your next

escape It’s said that the best things come in small packages, but at Panache Cruises, we beg to differ.

In actual fact, sometimes the very best things can be found in quite large packages. In very large, 1,000ft luxury cruise ship-shaped packages, to be exact. That’s right. We’re talking about Big Ship Luxury.

We know it might not be for everyone, but if you treasure the luxury of choice above all else, are seeking the vast array of restaurants, bars, and wellness facilities you’d find on a mainstream ship without sacrificing the sophistication and intimate atmosphere of a smaller one, then Big Ship Luxury may just be for you.

Truly embodying the concept of a ‘ship within a ship’ that is increasingly sought-after by discerning travellers, Big Ship Luxury promises a hassle-free getaway with just the right amount of exclusivity and absolutely anything

you could dream up at your fingertips.

A suite big enough to host a party, your choice of five different seafood restaurants, a theatre performance rivalling anything on Broadway— no sooner have you visualised your next unforgettable experience than it is right there in front of you. The important thing to remember is that whichever big ship cruise line you sail with, ‘luxury’ remains the bottom line.

It’s all in the name.

You may have heard the phrase ‘go big or go home’ and to that we say— why choose? From Cunard’s Queens Grills Suite to Virgin Voyages’ aptly named ‘Massive Suites’, you’ll find that your home-away-from-home is also… well, quite big. Yes, it’s where you turn in for the night, but with panoramic ocean views, separate living and dining areas, a private terrace, your very own hot tub and a personal butler, no one would blame you for spending all day in there too.

Celebrity Edge Villa Bedroom

One thing worth leaving your suite for though is the access to select venues reserved for guests in premium suites.

Imagine tucking into seared lobster in an exclusive restaurant, catching some rays from your cabana on an exclusive sundeck, sipping champagne in an exclusive lounge, everything specifically designed to enhance your experience and replicate the atmosphere you’d find in any five-star hotel. Did we mention it’s all exclusive?

That’s why we’re so proud to partner with some of the world’s leading cruise lines, those who have perfected the blend of all-inclusive and exclusivity. It’s no secret that we have been loyal fans of Cunard’s Grills Suites experience, HollandAmerica’s Club Orange Programme and Celebrity Cruises’ oh-so-luxurious Retreat for a while, and now we welcome a new name to the fold as Virgin Voyages helps us live our Rockstar fantasies—you can read all about it on the next page.

All of the above aligns perfectly with our values here at Panache Cruises.

old, sleek and unapologetically sophisticated, Virgin Voyages sails into the cruise industry with a pulse-quickening energy that sets it apart from the pack.

Launched in 2020 under the visionary lead of Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Voyages was never meant to be just another luxury line. From the outset, the brand promised a reimagining of what cruising could be. The brand has since carved a niche for itself by embracing a contemporary ethos, focusing on sustainability and relaxation, whilst offering a tailored guest experience that juxtaposes the traditional image of cruising.

The ships are adult-only sanctuaries, chic, intimate retreats at sea where relaxation is elevated and every detail is designed to feel personal, immersive and refreshing. These floating havens are more than just vessels; they are offering a refined journey that celebrates leisure, indulgence and the joy of being completely at ease.

Departing from Miami and San Juan, Virgin Voyages’ Caribbean routes are a masterclass in tropical indulgence.

In Europe, Virgin Voyages leans into the romance of the Mediterranean. Picture yourself strolling through the cobbled streets of Santorini, savouring seafood in Split, or dancing until dawn in Ibiza.

For those craving the open ocean, Virgin Voyages offers transatlantic crossings that blend slow travel with high style.

With longer stays, curated shore excursions and a focus on local culture, each port becomes a chapter in a larger story with Virgin Voyages.

They currently sail with a fleet of four contemporary vessels: Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady and Brilliant Lady. Each ship embodies a sleek, modern aesthetic, creating a sense of effortless sophistication. Onboard, guests are welcomed into interiors that rival the world’s most stylish resorts, where every space feels curated for comfort and indulgence.

PANACHECRUISES.COM

Dining is a highlight with Virgin Voyages, with more than twenty unique culinary experiences that together deliver what they proudly call “The very best food at sea.” Guests can indulge in Michelin‑starred chefs’ curated menus across a diverse range of restaurants onboard, including the Test Kitchen for experimental dining, Gunbae for lively Korean BBQ or Extra Virgin for modern Italian classics. There truly is something for everyone.

With a capacity of around 2,700 passengers, these ships strike the perfect balance: large enough to offer vibrant energy and endless entertainment, yet intimate enough to ensure service feels personal and attentive. Whether savouring world‑class cuisine, unwinding in chic lounges, or immersing in unforgettable onboard experiences, travellers enjoy a sanctuary at sea that is both exhilarating and refreshingly refined.

But perhaps the most compelling aspect of Virgin Voyages is their unwavering commitment to sustainability.

In an industry often criticized for its environmental toll from emissions to waste management, Virgin Voyages has made green innovation a core aspect of its ethos. From cleaner technologies to conscious design choices, the brand is charting a course toward a more responsible future on the water.

Choosing Virgin Voyages means stepping into a world where cruising has been completely reimagined.

Featuring contemporary ships, adultsonly retreats, exceptional cuisine and attentive, personalised service, every voyage becomes a boutique-style escape at sea. For those ready to elevate their holiday into something unforgettable, there’s no better time to book and discover why Virgin Voyages is setting a new standard in luxury cruising.
