Porthole Cruise Magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Porthole Cruise and Travel Magazine is a bi-monthly, internationally distributed periodical dedicated to cruise ship travel, holiday cruise destinations, and cruise ship experiences.
History and profile
It was founded in 1993 by publisher and editor-in-chief Bill Panoff, CEO of Ft. Lauderdale-based PPI Group as a trade magazine, but changed format to a consumer magazine in 1996.[1][2][3]
Since 1998,[4] the magazine has issued Reader's Choice Awards, surveying its readers to recognize outstanding cruise lines,[5] ships, destination, itineraries,[4] ports of call,[6] onboard amenities, and shoreside hotels, shopping[7] and excursions.
In 2013, Porthole's parent company, PPI Group, became the media partner of the annual Cruise Shipping Miami industry conference.[8]
