The Traveling Compass

As travel advisors, we help busy people invest their time off in travel to make priceless memories. It shouldn’t be that way. Just the way vacation should be.

At The Traveling Compass, we know that planning luxury vacations for your family or group can be time-consuming, overwhelming, and nerve-wracking on top of your already busy schedule. Researching and booking everything from flight connections to unique must-do experiences or remarkable hotels and river cruises to robust trip insurance can easily become an exhausting dicey game of internet chance,

causing your vacation to be full of irritation, worry, and regret…and maybe a family conflict or two. When we plan vacations for our clients, they feel excited, relieved, confident, and relaxed. Our white glove one-time professional planning fee includes destination advisement, expert recommendations, trip research, booking, travel document preparation, trip preparation, reservation management, and during-travel client care, allowing you to sit back and relax while we put together a vacation that is exactly what you want.

A: Your bags have to play catch up. The cruise line and the airline will work together to get your bags to the next destination where they can meet the ship.

What to do in the meantime? For our clients who had this happen this week- they could relax knowing that they had trip insurance that covered baggage delay. Everyone in their party had $500 per person to buy the essentials they needed to make it on the ship until their bags arrive.

Because they got our pre-packing tips, they knew that they needed all their important documents, money, medications, and change of clothes in their carry on so they didn't have to panic for the next day or two. Now, they are just getting some souvenir wardrobe items courtesy of travel insurance.

Because they had a great travel advisor, we were able to coach them on getting the documentation they would need for their claim so that they don't have anything to worry about when they got home...and hear a friendly voice telling them how to go about getting their luggage redirected.

Travel is full of surprises- but you can have an expert on your side!

Q: Client question- what's the best excursions for my Alaska cruise?

A: It depends on your top reasons for going to Alaska- but our clients routinely rank Dog Sledding Kennel visits as a favorite along with helicopter glacier landings and flight plane animal scouting.

On one of our favorite cruise ships- you don't even need to leave the deck to mark adorable pup sightings off your bucket list. Puppies in the Piazza with Princess cruises brings all the cuteness of sled dogs right onboard.

Thinking Alaska for 2025? Our experts are ready to help you find the best itinerary, stops, and experiences to make your Alaska dreams come true.

Do we help Harry Potter lovers? Yes we do.

Often our Disney loving families at SOME point want to take their muggle children to see "Harry Potter Land" which you will find at Universal Studios. Universal is a great destination for older kids with lots of big, fun, fast rides and the magical experiences of Harry Potter. We are putting the finishing touches on a very special 10-year-birthday celebration for a special boy who is about to get his Hogwarts letter!

This is a great option for a long weekend or shorter trip. Or, we can help you add it on to a Disney trip for a magical vacation that visits ALL the fantasy worlds.

Booking the right family vacation when you are traveling with extended family involves way more than just finding a beach somewhere. We were just working with a client this week to find a resort...

♦️That could make everyone from 2 year olds to 80 year olds happy
♦️Had places for couples to chill and littles to play
♦️A variety of food options
♦️Would work for families flying from opposite ends of the country
♦️Could accommodate a family with lots of teens in one room
♦️ Would not have super long layovers for the tiniest child flying for the first time...

We balance the variables so you don't have to and keep the group on track. Work with a travel planner to take the stress out of big group family travel. It's time to be together again.

Happy 4th of July from all of us at The Traveling Compass!

"Is there somewhere else you would suggest?" ~Client

This is a POWERFUL question to ask your travel advisor. While our clients often come to us with great ideas, sometimes we hear what they are looking for and know the perfect spot...totally not where they were looking. As advisors, we use our expertise to help you find the perfect fit for your trip. You always get more when you use a travel professional.

Happy Father’s Day to all our traveling Dad’a who put the fun in vacation!
