  • Cruising: the Great Restart
    May 2021 Edition Cruising: the Great Restart “Cruises will be the safest place on earth” - Frank Del Rio, President & CEO Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings PanacheCruises.com Elite Ocean, River, Expedition and Yacht-Style Cruising Dear Fellow Cruise Enthusiast, Cruising is restarting and Panache Cruises presents to you our aptly titled guide, Cruising: The Great Restart. In February this year we asked our customers when they thought international cruising would return, and 64% of them stated between July and September 2021. Well, it looks like they will be spot on with their prediction, as we envisage a number of cruise lines to be sailing internationally in July with many more to follow by September. With the UK vaccine rollout at an advanced stage along with Europe, the USA, and other parts of the world making significant progress too, the cruise world is on the cusp of restarting, slowly but surely. It’s truly an exciting time for everyone associated with the cruise industry. The UK’s traffic light system is also up and running, which over time will see more and more destinations opening up to tourism. Of course, don’t be discouraged by some of your favourite cruising destinations being on the ‘amber’ list for now - all of that is likely to change in a matter of weeks as they are given the ‘green light’, giving travellers the confidence to resume exploring the world. Cruise lines have worked extremely hard to ensure that “cruises will be the safest place on earth” according to Norwegian Cruise Line’s Frank Del Rio.

  • The MS Estonia Sinking Was Planned
    return to updates The MS Estonia Sinking was Planned by Miles Mathis First published March 12, 2021 As usual, this is just my opinion, based on personal research. This paper is by request. Just a cursory glance at the facts is enough to peg this sinking as another purposeful scuttling by the ship's owners, to get rid of an old, damaged ship and collect insurance money. Which of course means the deaths were faked. For the MO here, consult my papers on the Titanic, the Lusitania , and the Hindenburg, where we saw their demises were also faked or planned. Unlike in the other stories, Wikipedia doesn't give us much to work with here, but the biggest clues there are the signs of a coverup. As with the Lusitania, the wreckage of the Estonia was immediately hidden by the governments of Sweden, Finland, and Estonia, proving they were in on the fake. The Estonia Agreement 1995, a treaty among Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Denmark, Russia and the United Kingdom, declared sanctity over the site, prohibiting their citizens from even approaching the wreck. That is enough by itself to peg this as a conjob. If there was nothing to hide, that fake “sanctity” would not be necessary. We always see the same phony appeals to the sanctity of the dead in these cons, possibly the worst of them in the aftermath of 911, where we were told asking any questions or expecting any investigations was an insult to the dead. Just the opposite of the truth, of course, since if these people were really dead, both their ghosts and their families would want a full investigation.
