  • 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.

  • June Rts for Celebrity Cruises
    SOMEDAY IS HERE Celebrity Cruises Leads Industry with First Cruise Ship Approved to Sail from a US port New-luxury ship Celebrity Edge to depart Ft. Lauderdale on June 26 First American Female Captain, Kate McCue, Will be at the Helm for Historic Sailing MIAMI (May 26, 2021) – “Someday is here.” That was the one-line tweet Celebrity Cruises CEO and President Lisa Lutoff-Perlo used to announce the news today that on Saturday, June 26, the exquisite Celebrity Edge will be the first cruise ship to sail from US waters in more than a year. Captain Kate McCue, the first and still only American female Captain, will have the honor of leading the fleet – and the industry – back into operation. Celebrity Edge will depart Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, setting sail on a seven-night cruise of the Caribbean in what promises to be a historic moment for the brand and the industry. Celebrity Edge was given the green light by the CDC to be the first ship back in the water, having met all new standards for providing a healthy cruise experience for its guests and crew. “For the past 15 months our conversations with friends and loved ones about seeing the world have been accompanied by the phrase ‘someday.’ I’m beyond proud and excited to say that day has arrived,” said Celebrity Cruises CEO and President Lisa Lutoff-Perlo. “The power of travel has a way of healing our souls as we connect with cultures, sights, and experiences that bring greater joy and renewed energy to our lives.

Most of the cruise companies have gained their clienteles trust and have a prominent place at the cruise industry. The majority of them were founded in the second half of the 20th century, and specifically for cruising, some other were founded over 100 years ago as cargo shipping lines. After many failures and mergers in the 1990s , many companies that were used as company brands, within the big corporations came to rise through the constant support of their customers and the loyalty that they provided. Due to the constant changes in the industry, ship owners are always on the hunt in order to keep their vessels updated, by renaming, renovating or even selling them from time to time .The main purpose of a cruise company in general, is to provide to their customers leisure travel, cruise tours, and entertainment and many more amenities, in order to differ from their competitors.
