Epic Trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Nicole B. - Bay Shore, NY | Traveled to Italy | Europe
I can’t thank Donna Schoen enough for planning such an incredible trip to Italy, followed by a Mediterranean cruise. Every detail was handled so smoothly—from flights and transfers to hotels, tours, and excursions. I never had to worry about a thing, which allowed me to simply relax and enjoy the experience. Exploring Italy was a dream come true, and the Mediterranean cruise was the perfect way to see so many beautiful destinations without the stress of logistics. Donna Schoen really listened to what I wanted, made excellent recommendations, and even checked in along the way to ensure everything was going well. This trip exceeded my expectations in every way, and it would not have been possible without such thoughtful planning and expertise. I will absolutely use Donna and Cardinal Compass Travel again for my future adventures and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free and unforgettable travel experience.

My Travel Stories

With our seaplane pilot, Chris.

My Key West Adventures

Key West quickly became one of my favorite escapes—I loved it so much that I’ve returned three more times! Each visit brought new adventures, from flying by seaplane over turquoise waters to explore the historic Dry Tortugas, to circling the island on a thrilling 34-mile jet ski tour. I never tire of the island’s charm—colorful streets lined wit...

Client Testimonials

50th Birthday Vacation Success!
I'm so grateful to Donna Schoen of Cardinal Compass Travel for planning such a wonderful 50th birthday cruise to the Bahamas and helping us make the most of our time in Fort Lauderdale. Not only was the cruise seamless and stress-free, but the local recommendations made all the difference. We would have completely missed out on some amazing experiences if it weren't for her suggestions-like exploring the Everglades on an air boat ride and spending time along Las Olas Boulevard. Those little extras really made our trip special and gave us memories we'll never forget. It was clear that Donna truly listened to what we were looking for and went above and beyond to make sure our vacation was tailored perfectly to us. I'll definitely be using Donna again for future travels and highly recommend Cardinal Compass Travel to anyone who wants a trip planned with care and expertise.
