Welcome to Global Cruise Vacations! I’m Michael Schad, and travel is not just my profession, it’s my passion. With over 23 years in the travel industry, I’ve had the pleasure of helping countless families and individuals create unforgettable memories. I specialize in luxury travel, family vacations, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, and guided tours.
My background in Electrical Engineering and an MBA in Marketing & Finance has equipped me with a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen, allowing me to lead teams and drive innovation in the travel industry.
On a personal note, I am a proud father of two wonderful children—a 14-year-old son and a 9-year-old daughter. We love spending our time kayaking, fishing, boating, and exploring theme parks together. My own travel experiences with my family inspire me to create personalized and exceptional travel adventures for our clients.
