Dear Mr Fernan, thank you for your review and for returning to Panache for a second time – we’re so pleased to hear it was another enjoyable cruise. It’s great to know that your tour guide and chef made such a positive impression, and that despite the unforeseen change to the itinerary due to local bridge works, you were still able to experience all the highlights. We really appreciate your understanding and flexibility. We’d love it if we could bottle up our crews and send them across the fleet too! Rest assured, we hold the same high standards across all our barges, and we look forward to welcoming you on board again for your next European Waterways adventure.
