A shining testament to the value of being an authentic leader and never sacrificing your integrity, Lutoff-Perlo details the ins and outs of her extraordinary 40-year career. She has risen to the top in a male-dominated industry, while refusing to compromise her values and bringing countless others along with her. Along the way, she ultimately transformed and redefined relaxed luxury cruising with the launch of the bold, innovative Edge Series ships in 2018, which drove unprecedented demand and propelled the brand’s financial performance. She climbed the corporate ladder from the very bottom and overcame countless obstacles to reach the top of the cruise industry.

In Making Waves, Lutoff-Perlo walks readers through her triumphs, hardships, and learning moments. She breaks down her unique leadership style as the former CEO of Celebrity Cruises that catapulted the company to heights no one thought possible, simply by caring deeply for people and putting others first.
