WORLD TRAVEL HOLDINGS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF
THE “50 MOST ENGAGED WORKPLACES™” IN THE UNITED STATES

Wilmington, MA – August 23, 2011 – World Travel Holdings (WTH) – the nation’s largest cruise retailer including CruiseOne, Cruises Inc., Cruises Only, Cruises.com and other leading brands – today announced it has been named one of the "50 Most EngagedWorkplaces™" in the United States by I Love Rewards. This annual recognition rewards top employers for their effort to innovatively engage employees.

"At World Travel Holdings, we pride ourselves on employee engagement – not for the purpose of winning awards, but because we know that employee engagement leads to long-term retention, loyalty, performance and a positive corporate culture," said Debbie Fiorino, SVP of Human Resources at WTH. "We work to ensure every employee has a voice and encourage employees at all levels to make contributions towards the success of our collective goals."

WTH carries out a variety of ongoing employee engagement initiatives, including quarterly town halls for employees to give feedback to senior leaders and share ideas in an open forum. The company also holds monthly "Desserts and Discussions" sessions, where presentations are broadcast virtually to other offices and home-based employees. Participants are invited to attend, have dessert and take part in timely discussions. Another key employee program is the "Overboard Award Program", where employees at any level can personally recognize one another in real-time for exemplifying WTH's mission statement – to deliver a remarkable experience.

Finally, WTH features its own ongoing internal awards program, including an annual award given to an employee who most exemplifies the company's culture (Horizon Award), free cruises to the top 25 sales producers (Navigator Awards) and Service Awards which include financial and travel incentives to employees reaching various tenure levels.

"More employers are realizing that the most successful organizations are those that invest in employee engagement," said Razor Suleman, CEO and Founder of I Love Rewards. "We're thrilled to honor those companies that are truly committed to creating positive, thriving work environments."

The "50 Most Engaged Workplaces™" Awards were determined by a panel of esteemed judges, who evaluated applying companies on how they demonstrate the Eight Elements of Employee Engagement™. The Eight Elements of Employee Engagement™ include Communication, Leadership, Culture, Rewards & Recognition, Professional & Personal Growth, Accountability & Performance, Vision & Values and Corporate Social Responsibility.

WTH will be honored alongside other recipients during an awards gala on October 26, 2011 at the W Hotel in San Francisco, California.
