USA Silversea Expedition Antarctica by Panache Cruises

SILVERSEA ANTARCTICA FLY CRUISE

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.

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.

You’ll also receive exclusive invitations to our Founders cruises, hosted by James Cole.

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.

Expeditions are meticulously planned and executed by a team of naturalists, biologists, geologists, and historians to provide an enriching and unforgettable journey. On board, Expedition Leaders deliver illuminating lectures that offer an overview of the day’s discoveries to fully immerse guests in the natural beauty of Antarctica.

ZODIAC CRUISING

Witness wildlife and majestic landscapes up close by Zodiac — from passing through towering icebergs to capturing a whale breaching the water’s surface. The nimble Zodiac enables you to navigate narrow inlets, reach islets, and glide by ice floes. Captained by experienced operators, nearly every excursion is hosted on these sturdy vessels, allowing for both planned and impromptu adventures as wildlife dictates and conditions allow.

KAYAKING ADVENTURES

Immerse yourself in the raw beauty of these regions through guided kayaking tours, where you forge personal connections to the polar wilderness. Marvel at the majesty of a glacier or watch spellbound as a leopard seal swims right alongside you. Under the guidance of certified kayak instructors, you’ll paddle through fjords and some of the world’s best natural aquariums.

LANDINGS AND GROUP HIKES

Our Expedition Leaders host guided walks ashore — identifying exotic species, unique glacial formations, geological structures, and other fascinating features. Experience the thrill of setting foot on far-flung lands and conquering new territories. Whether you’re following in the footsteps of famous explorers or greeting a colony of gentoo penguins, you’ll gain a deep and lasting understanding of this remarkable land.

EXPERT INSIGHT

Our Expedition Team members have spent decades exploring Antarctica and are eager to share their extensive knowledge and experience with you. These Expeditions are enriched by daily briefings and lectures from naturalists, biologists, and historians who bring each destination to life with their expertise and guidance. Their detailed insights into the ice, land, and wildlife adds a fascinating dimension to your personal explorations and discoveries.

OUR EXPEDITION SHIPS

Our three Expedition ships — Silver Cloud, Silver Endeavour, and Silver Wind — are equipped with Zodiacs and kayaks for deeper exploration and up-close encounters with wildlife. Their intimate size, accommodating between 220 and 274 guests, allows for navigation to the most remote regions on earth while maintaining the Silversea standard of anticipatory service and exclusive amenities.
