The Caribbean 

This incredible destination is a very in demand cruise route as people revel in the lively atmosphere, the white powdered beaches and the breathtaking sunsets. Each individual island has its own unique culture and displays diverse heritage which you can explore first hand. The Caribbean is famous for its friendly locals and traditional cuisine, which to me sounds like an ideal holiday destination! Relax and immerse yourself in the bright way of life, the Caribbeans the perfect destination to delve into the clear waters and discover the world beyond ours!

But without a doubt, Panache Cruises recommend Puerto Rico. This incredible destination is embedded with an intriguing history, pristine beaches and a lively atmosphere unlike any other. 

The Mediterranean 

The peoples’ favourite: the Mediterranean coast. This region is one of the most popular holiday destinations and you can see why. Breathtaking crystal waters surrounding culturally rich cities and towns with unique traditional cuisine draws hordes of tourists. There are an incredible number of bucket-list destinations in the Mediterranean, including Athens, which is embedded with an immersive Greek history; Rome, which is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site—the Colosseum—and the bustling city of Monaco alongside many more! The Mediterranean is full of incredible ports, docks and harbours, meaning the cruise docks in the centre of your destination which allows you to explore the beautiful cities with ease.

There are so many diverse destinations across the Med.

Without a doubt my personal favourite would be Dubrovnik. The old town itself has been named a UNESCO world heritage site as the city has an abundance of history and architectural beauty. Enjoy a delicious traditional meal whilst marvelling at the unrivalled shaw front view.

The Pacific

Located between Asia, Australia and North and South America, the Pacific Ocean is the largest body of water in the world. Such a huge area means there is an abundance of exotic marine life that you can explore first-hand on snorkelling excursions or learn about through lectures led by onboard experts. A Pacific cruise is highly sought-after; it’s full of remote and distinctive destinations which are not easily accessible via land. Without a doubt, luxury ocean cruising is the best way to explore these breathtaking islands!

Our favourite destinations within the tropical paradise are: Papeete in French Polynesia and Easter Island. The standout bucket-list destination in the Pacific for me would have to be Fiji. 

I’ve always wanted to visit the island and capture the once-in-a-lifetime scenery and simply unwind in the tranquil paradise. The locals are known for their friendliness and laid back persona, while encouraging tourists to explore the intrinsic beauty of the island by immersing them in offshore activities such as snorkelling or scuba diving around the Astrolabe Reef and even swimming with majestic manta rays.
