JUDY PERL CRUISES RENAMED JUDY PERL WORLDWIDE TRAVEL
Expanded Company Reflects Increasing Expertise on Both Land and Sea
Maggie Mantia Joins as SVP
NEW YORK, NEW YORK (November 2013) – Long noted for her expertise in bespoke cruise and cruise charter travel, Judy Perl has rebranded Judy Perl Cruises as Judy Perl Worldwide Travel. The new name acknowledges expanded client demand for both land and sea travel, and the company’s own expertise in both types of vacations.
Based in New York City, the company was founded in 2001 by Judy Perl, a 30-year travel industry veteran who began her career with Seabourn and Cunard cruise lines.
Said Ms. Perl, “We are excited to offer our clients the finest curated travel experiences in the world. Our staff’s extensive land and cruise travel knowledge translates to the creation of trips that offer perfection and distinction to every detail.”
New programs this year include a diverse range of international travel options such as Playbill’s “Broadway on the High Seas” cruise to Tahiti and French Polynesia featuring well-known stars of Broadway musical theater, a concept created by Judy Perl; a land-based Save Venice, Inc. fundraising program; and Silversea’s expedition-vessel cruise to Siberia, hosted by Judy Perl.
As part of the expansion, Maggie Mantia has joined Judy Perl Worldwide Travel as Senior Vice President. Ms. Mantia brings more than 30 years’ experience in cruise lines and land travel. She is also an expert in MICE travel. Most recently Vice-President, Charter and Incentive Sales Worldwide at Regent Seven Seas/Oceania Cruises and Cunard Line, Mantia has also been a director at E.F. MacDonald Travel Company (now part of Aimia, the world’s largest global loyalty company) and a luxury cruise consultant at David Morris International. Ms. Mantia can be reached at mmantia@judyperltravel.com.
