Sterling Travel of Camarillo announces purchase of Ventura-based Radio Cruises.

(Camarillo, CA) —Twenty years ago, Larry Tatelman opened the doors to Sterling Travel. Together with his wife, April, they have built one of the most respected travel firms in the country with an international list of clientele.

Sterling Travel announced today it will expand the firm´s global interests and opportunities with the purchase of Ventura-based Radio Cruises.

"Sterling Travel is an expert at hosting and escorting cruise groups," Tatelman said. "The purchase of Radio Cruises is a natural extension of what Sterling travel already does best."

April and Larry started hosting celebrity cruises featuring Ventura County radio personalities to bring listeners onboard. The concept took off and led them to produce several more celebrity-hosted cruises including national radio hosts, acclaimed authors and sports figures. Today, the Tatelman´s are celebrity cruise masters, arranging cruises hosted by national hosts and personalities.

"We provide the traveler an experience they can´t get by just booking a cruise, providing added value and extensive interaction with a personality they listen to and share values with," Tatelman said. "Guests have the opportunity to meet like-minded people to share their travel experiences with and to make new friends where they live."


"Radio Cruises has escorted more than 10,000 guests since its founding and has a tradition of exceptional service, which is a hallmark tradition of Sterling Travel," Tatelman said. "April and I are excited to expand our business and getting to know our local community through shared vacation experiences."
