Penny T. Zeilman ~ Travel Concierge, Land Programs

Penny began her travels throughout the Caribbean 22 years ago as a diving professional. Organizing and escorting scuba excursions to the crystal clear waters off many islands offered the opportunity to become very familiar with the diverse touring options available.

Deciding to go from beneath the surface to working on the surface, Penny began her career in the cruise industry in 1996. Working as Shore Excursion Manager on Commodore Cruise Lines was her first taste of ship’s life. From this three star operation, Penny took a giant step up to Regent Seven Seas Cruises in 1998. Working as Tour Manager on this six star cruise line gave her a true insight into the luxury market and its guests’ desires for something different ashore. Having had the opportunity to work on the cruise lines’ different ships has provided Penny with a wealth of knowledge to draw upon in her current position of developing and overseeing tour operations in the Caribbean and South America.

In addition to her tour operation duties, she is also a member of the Regent Travel Concierge staff who are busy designing hotel, land and shore excursion programs that reflect the upscale image of the line as well as providing discerning guests with a truly diverse choice of tours from adventure to exclusivity to the down right unusual.
