A husband-and-wife team of influencers have contributed more than £2m of sales for one North West cruise company

Richand and Helen Chalu were 49 when they gave up their day jobs in 2020 to become full-time cruise and travel content creators.

The couple, who have three grown-up children, have clocked up 85 cruises and share their vlogs with the 71k subscribers to their YouTube channel ‘Visit With Us’.

They also act as ambassadors for luxury cruise retailer Panache Cruises and have just reached £2m in sales for the Chorley-based company.

James Cole, CEO of Panache Cruises, said: “It’s an amazing achievement to have generated more than £2m in sales.”
