Our Story: Meet Scott & Stephanie

The Velvet Passport wasn’t born in a corporate office; it was forged through decades of real-world travel.

For years, Scott lived on airplanes, logging over 40 weeks a year in the sky as a corporate sales executive. Meanwhile, Stephanie was mastering the complex logistics of coordinating large-scale travel for sports teams, clubs, and family adventures while raising their children.

When their kids transitioned to college and the military, Stephanie turned her lifelong passion for seamless planning into a professional career. The business grew so rapidly that Scott retired early from his corporate career to join forces with her. Together, they launched The Velvet Passport—combining executive logistical precision with high-end, personalized care to make travel rewarding for busy professionals, couples, and families alike.

And the excitement hasn't stopped: for two years running, Virgin Voyages has recognized Stephanie as one of their Top 10 advisors! Let us use our insider connection to book you on our absolute favorite cruise line.
