See a sneak peek of Regent's brand-new ship here!

For nearly thirty years, Regent Seven Seas have proudly delivered unrivalled luxury cruise experiences around the world. With every luxury included, Regent ensure that their guests are free to embrace every moment of their journey, all beginning with a ship which elevates the pinnacle of ocean cruising to new heights.

Ponant’s fleet of luxury, small ship vessels draw an international client base. Guests from the US, Australia, Europe and of course, their home country of France are to be found on every voyage. Le Lyrial was launched in 2015 and has an ice classification (1C) hull, which enables her to sail in both the Polar regions. Her 6 decks and shallow draft of just 15ft, mean that she is able to navigate into much smaller ports than many other vessels – making her a perfect expedition style, luxury cruiser.

With their hallmark of “stay longer, experience more”, Azamara Club Cruises promise to provide guests with incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experiences in awe-inspiring destinations, alongside unparalleled wellness, excursions, and dining.

Katy here, I am one of the Elite Ocean experts here at Panache Cruises and I absolutely love talking to my customers about Azamara and the incredible sailings they have on offer. I hope you enjoy reading about my favourite things about Azamara, plus an insight into their beautiful ships!

Uniworld takes river cruising to a whole new level. Ultra-luxury, truly unique and individual ships, exquisite cuisine, and 6-star service make Uniworld a privilege to sail with.

The Tolman family, Uniworld’s founder and owners, are still involved in the careful presentation of all aspects of the product, from ship design and décor to the menus in the restaurants.

A few years ago I sailed from Athens to Dubrovnik on board the gorgeous Crystal Cruises yacht, Crystal Esprit, and at every step of the journey I was met with exceptional service, incredible food (which is a must for me) and a warm, relaxed atmosphere.

The check-in process was effortless as it’s done in your suite, where you get to meet your butler and I was very impressed to find I also had two dedicated cabin stewardesses too! Hosting just 62 guests on board, the crew are a huge part of the experience and by the end of the week, it felt almost like leaving friends behind.
