Polite and Professional

Helen was polite, friendly and professional and she listened to what I wanted from my Norwegian cruise and quickly and efficiently found the perfect cruise for me with Hurtigruten and arranged it for me ... Im very pleased with the service from Panache and would thoroughly recommend the Hurtigruten Coastal Express ... it's a fantastic experience 😃

Nicole is the best! Nothing is too much trouble and she will search and check to make sure you have the correct information, and the best price. Wouldn’t book with any other company for a cruise.

Initial call through to booking experience was excellent

From initial call to chat through luxury cruise line options to booking confirmation, the experience was excellent. I will be using Panache for further bookings and like that I now have one place to book across any cruise line versus having multi direct agents for each luxury cruise line I would ordinarily have used.

Panache perfection

So we're entering our 2/3 year with Nicola Tempest-Mitchell as our cruise lady and I have to say we're not leaving! Several cruises down, a couple of problems, some whilst on board, sorted with apparent ease, several amazing holidays. These guys are with you fully from finding exactly what you want, to embarkation and throughout the journey and check in after.
Cannot fault the service or attention to detail
