About Me

Where would you love to travel?

My name is Marianne Woody and I am owner of Worldwide Cruises and Tours in Dallas, Texas. I have been in the travel industry for over 20 years. I have traveled to 35 states including Hawaii and Alaska, most of the beach resort areas in Mexico, Jamaica, Punta Cana, many countries in Europe, and to Israel. Travel is my passion and I love to share that with others. Throughout my career, there are a few truly memorable clients: A family of 25 who went on a tour of Italy with a seeing-eye dog. A family group ranging in age from 2 - 96 who went to Australia and then a few years later on an African safari. A group of ladies who go to Mexico or somewhere in the Caribbean just about every year. I can always count on them! Whether you want to take a family vacation to an all-inclusive resort or theme park, explore the beautiful and historic regions of our world or take a leisurely cruise, I can make your dreams a reality.

With its close proximity to Texas, Mexico is an ideal spot for a beach vacation.

European Travel
I love Europe! The hustle and bustle of London and Paris, the ancient ruins of Greece and Rome, the beautiful Alps, the culture, the history, the food – it’s practically impossible to experience it all. If you travel on your own, it's hard to beat traveling by rail.  Just sit back and take in the...Read More ▶

The greatest trip ever!
Reviewed By Bill S. - Kaufman, TX | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Our experience with Marianne was absolutely phenomenal. From start to finish she stayed on top of everything and was outstanding about keeping us in the loop with all the details. She stayed on top of every detail and made our trip to Ireland worry free. We are beginning to make plans to make another European trip and will be placing our complete faith in Marianne once again.

Best Trip Ever
Reviewed By M. Hayes - Dallas, TX | Traveled to French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Marianne has been the best travel agent ever! Traveling can be difficult at times, however Marianne provides great options for us. In fact I give her the dates as well as the vibe we're looking for (beach, food, night life, family friendly, etc.) and she provides destinations. She takes the time to give me a range of options which we love. She's simply the best!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    During my many years as a travel agent, I have had the opportunity to book many great family vacations. Most have been rather ordinary, but there are a couple that really stand out in my mind. The first was for a family of 25 that wanted to do an escorted tour to Italy. The vendor I was using would not allow them to join a regularly scheduled gr...

    From Martin(Ed) and Jana Thornton and Joan and Michael Bowmer on return from their trip to Austria June 30 - July 14, 2013 I wanted to say thanks again for your work in making our trip to Austria as near perfect as possible. We spent time at the events you recommended and we had so much fun exploring the culture, meeting people, and the places were just spectacular.
