About Princess Travel
Princess Travel is a family run, full service travel agency.
Ever since Salvatore Scannella, the founder of Princess Travel, sailed on the SS independence in 1959, he has been infatuated by the love of travel and especially ocean liners.
In 1965, he began working at the “Italian Line”, who owned the legendary liners: Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaelo, Michelangelo & Cristoforo Columbo. In 1973, he managed a travel agency on Staten island for three years before opening Princess Travel in 1976.
Sal's son Gian, who has been traveling most of his life, has been working beside him since the beginning of 2000. Virginia Indelicato, Lorraine Cotogno, and Elaine DeBenedictis make up the rest of our team and all have more than 15+ years experience booking travel.
