About Tony & Barbara
Tony has held senior management and director roles within the UK travel industry for over 30 years, predominantly in the tour operating and airport sectors. His experience has always been focused on business development, together with PR and Marketing. His passion for travel has taken him worldwide to over 60 countries.
Barbara also worked for a number of years within the Marketing Department of two UK airports. She later went on to set up her own Marketing, PR and Events Company alongside running an exclusive private members club in Cheshire.
We are thrilled to partner with Tony and Barbara at Panache Cruises as their passion and excitement for travel - particularly cruising - is infectious!
Tony and Barbara took early retirement and have continued their love of travel across the world including enjoying a number of cruises. It was during their stay in Barbados early in 2024 that the couple bumped into the Founder of Panache Cruises, James Cole, who Tony had known for many years and had in fact worked with some 20 years ago!
The couple were delighted to be asked to join Panache Cruises as Ambassadors, attending events and functions alongside the team and liaising with customers to chat about all things luxury cruising.
Tony and Barbara are keen supporters of Panache Cruises' Founders programme — a loyalty club of sorts which gives members points per pound spent on every booking, which they can then redeem against future bookings.
Founders members and business guests of Tony and Barbara were recently treated to an exclusive afternoon tea event at Mottram Hall Hotel & Spa. The event was supported by Scenic and Emerald Cruises and hosted by James Cole, Founder and CEO of Panache Cruises.
You'll be sure to see Tony and Barbara at more of these events in future!
