Preferred Travel & Company

Judy Kella

Independent Travel Advisor

Flight attendant for NWA right out of college for a brief time, then moved to South Florida in the late 70’s to work aboard Royal Caribbean Cruise Line’s 3 ships as Kid/Teen program director. Became a travel agent in 1986 and worked for 2 agencies in Ft Lauderdale over the last 30 years. My travels have taken me to many ports in the Caribbean and traveled to Australia, New Zealand ,Fiji and many places in Europe. Ask me about my recent trip to Croatia along their beautiful coast or the cruise I took to Norway. From top luxury hotels to exotic island escapes, I have a vast range of knowledge and will quickly deliver confirmation on any itinerary. I can work to tailor vacations; from hotel and airline reservations, to cruises and rail journeys, private touring and luxury lodges. I can arrange every detail. From the cities to the outback, wineries, or luxury island retreats, I can help you create your own specialized itinerary.

I’m a “foodie”. Love trying new restaurants in different places I travel . Being from South Florida, I enjoy boating/fishing/snorkeling/diving. Anything around water. Give me a good book, a nice quiet beach and the sound of the waves and I’m happy. My family and friends are my treasures.
