Dear Fellow Cruiser,
Welcome to a fantastic new edition of our Founders magazine.
The team here at Panache Cruises have been busy creating the best cruise and land packages for our Iconic Collection.
It’s been a while now since we debuted our Iconic Collection, so if you’re not familiar with the concept, just turn the page and read all about it.
It’s basically our response to the travel world evolving and the needs of our customers changing direction to more immersive, unique and yep, iconic, holidays.
I know that as I get older, I want to cherish more of these kinds of experiences with my family more than ever.
Last year, I was lucky enough to visit India on an incredible Ganges river cruise with Uniworld, which also included ultra-luxurious stays in some of the finest hotels in the world.
One of them was overlooking the Taj Mahal, it was truly once-in-alifetime. There are loads of other similar experiences on my bucket

As always, we endeavour to bring you the best in the business. That means the best prices, the best value and— perhaps most importantly of all—the best service in the industry.
So…where can Panache Cruises take you next?
Have a read and give us a call on 0161 516 7304 when you’re ready.
All the best,
