About Penguins Preferred
Penguins Preferred is an independent luxury travel advisory practice founded by Stephanie Ng, a former Fortune 500 technology executive with decades of firsthand cruising experience. We specialize in expedition and luxury cruising, with deep expertise in Antarctic and expedition travel. As an independent affiliate of Master Travel, Travel Experts, and Virtuoso we offer our clients access and relationships that independent booking cannot replicate. We believe affluent travelers deserve a trusted expert, not a search engine.
What sets us apart is genuine firsthand experience across dozens of ships and lines, real relationships with cruise line contacts, and an honest advisor who will tell you which ship actually fits your travel style. We handle everything from initial consultation through on-trip support, ensuring your luxury travel experience exceeds expectations. Whether you're a first-time luxury cruiser or planning a bucket-list voyage to Antarctica or the Arctic.
