Lighthouse Travel Group was born from a journey of recovery, resilience, and a passion for helping others experience the world. This is Scott's story — and your invitation to travel.
"They thought of everything we didn't even know to ask for. The most effortless trip of our lives."
— Margaret & Thomas H.Lighthouse Travel Group was founded by a group of passionate, experienced travelers who believed that planning a luxury trip should be as enjoyable as taking one. We've sailed on the world's finest cruise lines, stayed in Europe's grandest hotels, and explored the wine regions, ancient cities, and hidden corners that most travelers never find.
We bring that firsthand knowledge to every itinerary we build. When we recommend a suite at Villa d'Este or a private cellar tasting in Burgundy, it's because we've been there — and we know it will exceed your expectations.
Our clients are discerning travelers — executives, families, couples celebrating milestones — who value their time and expect the very best. They come to us because they want every detail handled, every surprise eliminated, and every moment of their journey to be extraordinary.
"Failure is not an option."
In May 2025, my life changed dramatically when I suffered a major stroke.
The past year has been one of the most challenging journeys of my life. I've had to work hard to regain abilities that I once took for granted, and I'm continuing my recovery every day — including learning to walk again and working to regain the use and control of my left hand and arm.
There have been good days, difficult days, frustrating days, and days when progress seems slow. But I've learned that every step forward, no matter how small, is still progress.
Rather than allowing what happened to define my future, I decided I needed something positive to focus on — something I could build, something I was passionate about, and something that would give me a new purpose. That's how Lighthouse Travel Group was born.
Travel has always represented something special to me. It's about discovering new places, experiencing different cultures, creating memories, and having something exciting to look forward to. Today, I'm building Lighthouse Travel Group around that passion.
I specialize in helping travelers plan cruises, luxury vacations, resorts, river cruises, and personalized travel experiences. My goal isn't simply to sell you a vacation. It's to listen to what you want, understand what matters to you, and help create a journey that fits you.
Building this business while continuing my recovery hasn't always been easy. But Lighthouse Travel Group has given me something incredibly important: purpose.
Every day I'm working on two journeys at the same time — my journey toward recovery and my journey toward building a successful travel business. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
My experience has taught me not to take things for granted, to appreciate progress, and to keep moving forward even when the road gets difficult. That same determination is something I bring to every client I work with.
Whether you're dreaming about a luxury cruise through the Mediterranean, a European river cruise, a relaxing resort getaway, or simply the vacation you've always wanted to take — I'd love the opportunity to help you make it happen.
Your journey is important. Your vacation should be personal.
Failure is not an option.

Lighthouse Travel Group
You tell us where you want to go. We take care of everything else. From the private car at your front door to the champagne waiting in your suite, no detail is too small and no request is too large.

We take the time to understand who you are, what you love, and what you're celebrating. Every itinerary we build is one-of-a-kind — designed for you, not a template.

Luxury Travel Specialist
When you work with Lighthouse Travel Group, you're assigned a dedicated advisor who gets to know you personally — your preferences, your travel style, the occasions you're celebrating, and the experiences that matter most to you.
Your advisor is your single point of contact from the first conversation through your return home. No call centers, no automated systems, no starting over with someone new. Just one trusted specialist who knows your trip inside and out — and is reachable whenever you need them.
Our advisors have personally traveled to the destinations they recommend. They've stayed in the suites, sailed on the ships, and dined in the restaurants. That firsthand knowledge is what sets us apart — and what makes every trip we plan truly exceptional.
Client Stories
"We told them we wanted to celebrate our 30th anniversary in Europe. They gave us two weeks we will never forget — a private concert in Salzburg, a château dinner in Burgundy, and a boat on Lake Como. Every single detail was perfect."
Robert & Catherine M.
Greenwich, CT
"I've traveled first class before, but never like this. From the car at my door to the suite in Monaco, everything was seamless. My advisor anticipated things I didn't even know I needed. I will never plan a trip any other way."
James W.
Palm Beach, FL
"We brought three generations of our family on a Mediterranean cruise. Lighthouse handled everything — the flights, the transfers, the shore excursions, even a birthday dinner for my mother. It was the trip of a lifetime for all of us."
The Harrington Family
Scottsdale, AZ
"Our Alaska cruise on Princess was absolutely breathtaking. Lighthouse got us a veranda cabin with the perfect glacier view, pre-booked the helicopter dog sledding in Juneau, and arranged a Denali extension that was the highlight of the entire trip."
David & Susan K.
Naples, FL
"I called Lighthouse on a Tuesday and was on a Seabourn sailing to the Greek Isles by Friday. They handled everything — business class flights, a night at the Grande Bretagne in Athens, and a private tour of Santorini. Absolutely flawless."
Margaret T.
Sarasota, FL
"We've used Lighthouse for four cruises now and they just keep getting better. This year they put us on Viking through the Norwegian fjords. Waking up inside Geirangerfjord was something I will carry with me for the rest of my life."
Bill & Linda R.
Charlotte, NC
"As a solo traveler, I was nervous about cruising alone. My Lighthouse advisor matched me with the perfect Cunard sailing — the Queen Mary 2 transatlantic. I made lifelong friends at the Captain's Table and arrived in New York feeling like royalty."
Patricia H.
Boca Raton, FL
"The Maldives overwater villa Lighthouse booked for our honeymoon was beyond anything we imagined. They arranged a private sunset dinner on the sandbank, couples' spa treatments, and a seaplane transfer that was spectacular. Worth every penny."
Michael & Ashley D.
Atlanta, GA
"We've been loyal Lighthouse clients for over a decade. They know our preferences better than we do. This year's Regent Seven Seas world cruise segment through Southeast Asia was the most extraordinary travel experience of our lives."
