Sun Sentinel Names World Travel Holdings A Winner of the South Florida Top Workplaces 2025 Award

Nation’s Largest Cruise Agency and Award-Winning Leisure Travel Company Soars to #4 Finish

 

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (May 12, 2025) – World Travel Holdings, the parent company of South Florida-based Dream Vacations/CruiseOne, a homebased travel agency franchise, has been awarded a 2025 Top Workplaces honor by the Sun Sentinel for a record-setting 11th year in a row (every year since the award’s inception). World Travel Holdings placed #4 out of the 44 companies ranked in the medium-sized employers’ category. World Travel Holdings’ Dream Vacations/CruiseOne brands house the lion’s share of the division’s talented and experienced employees out of its Fort Lauderdale headquarters.

 

“Climbing to the #4 spot in the mid-size employer category—especially in our first year being recognized at this level—is an incredible achievement and one we’re deeply proud of,” said Debbie Fiorino, chief operating officer of Dream Vacations/CruiseOne. “This milestone is a testament to the strength of our culture, the dedication of our teams, and our ongoing commitment to creating an environment where people feel valued and inspired. Being the only employer listed as a Top Workplace for all 11 years reinforces that when you invest in your people, the results speak for themselves.”

 

The Sun Sentinel Top Workplaces list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage  LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes, including employees feeling Respected & Supported, Enabled to Grow, and Empowered to Execute, to name a few.

 

The company’s 11th consecutive placement in the awards program reflects its commitment to fostering a positive work environment. To see the full list of winners, visit the Sun Sentinel Top Workplaces website.
