As an insatiably curious traveler, you long for a journey that will change your perspective. A journey that will bring you way closer to the world’s greatest natural and cultural wonders, sparking your curiosity in inspiring ways.
Of course, planning a journey that transforms takes time—and an insider perspective—to do right. And when you’re already hustling hard at home and work, you simply don’t have the hours to pour into intensive research, complicated logistical planning, or figuring out which travel resources you can truly trust.
That’s where True North Travel Co. comes in. We let you dream BIG—and then we take care of all the details. We take your vision and create the best authentic travel experience on your behalf. Think of us as your intrepid (and well-connected) travel scout, carving out your shortcut to a spectacular adventure.

"I have used Mallory and True North Travel a few times now and I HIGHLY recommend. I had to change my flight a few times and Mallory was so good about it. The app that we used on our phones was extremely slick — I was so impressed. Her customer service, attention to detail and professionalism is second to none."
"We have become dependent on Mallory's knowledge and access to travel resources. When we are looking to take a trip, we provide some information and our budget, and Mallory does the rest, offering professional (and 'insider' tips and information), collaborating with us to create a great travel experience. She is responsive in her communications and highly attentive to our needs. We have been consistently satisfied and impressed with our travel experiences when working with True North Travel ."
"Mallory was recommended to us by a family friend and she was exceptional. She is detail oriented, professional, honest and very communicative. We were nervous about booking another trip during the pandemic but she has put our minds at ease by taking care of all the details and providing us with all the necessary information and precautions. We will never book our own travel again!"
"I've been a client of Mallory for four years now. She's assisted me in the planning of numerous trips to a variety of destinations, and most recently, an Alaskan cruise (which she had to book, cancel and rebook for me because of the pandemic). Mallory has been such a pleasure to work with as she's confident, friendly and professional. She goes above and beyond to make sure that every part of our trip is seamless, whether it's transportation, hotel accommodations or the events we attend while on vacation. To say I value her knowledge and expertise is an understatement. I look forward to doing business with her well into the future.”
"Very thankful we had Mallory to help us. She has helped us with two trips now. This last trip was a bit stressful getting all the documents and necessary requirements fulfilled. Mallory made sure we had it all together and had a Plan A, B … and C for our tests and travel in case things changed last minute. Mallory was a referral to us a couple years ago and she is amazing to work with. If you are looking for a very knowledgeable travel agent for domestic or international travel, please contact her."

True North Travel is a luxury travel consultancy, thus as with any other professional service we charge fees for our expertise and time. We charge a non-refundable Professional Planning Fee for the custom itineraries we design; this is due before we begin researching your itinerary, after our initial consultation call.
Our standard Research and Design Fee is $350 - full trip planning and concierge services, up to 14 days and up to 5 people
$550 for a group (6+ travelers).
Annual membership fees range from $3,500-$5,500 depending on number of annual trips and number of travelers.
Additional fees may apply for a la carte services and groups. Group trips are subject to varying fee structures based on the trip.
We will always discuss our fees with you before moving forward with any travel arrangements.
Air Ticketing Fee: A non-refundable ticketing fee of $50 will be charged for each airline ticket booked through our travel agency. This fee covers the administrative costs associated with processing and managing your flight reservation. Maximum service fee cap of $250 per transaction regardless of the number of tickets.
We make every effort to ensure your travel experience is exquisite. We leverage an extensive network of partner, affiliate and personal relationships to achieve this for you and provide invaluable access. Significant time and effort goes into designing and managing custom trip designs as well, however we understand that circumstances change and the current pandemic travel climate can be unpredictable - thus it may become necessary for you to cancel your travel plans. As such, we highly recommend protecting your trip investment with a recommended insurance policy. You may be able to add any travel service fees to your claim for potential reimbursement.
All cancellations must be advised in writing.
Cancellation policies vary and are implemented by the supplier. Please verify with your Travel Advisor if you have any questions on their cancellation policy. While you may feel some circumstances warrant leniency on cancellation penalties by suppliers, it is not for True North Travel Co. to make this decision, therefore we always recommend travel insurance for this reason.
All travel services provided by True North Travel Co. are subject to the following cancellation policy fees unless otherwise noted:
Hotel, Resort & Villa Cancellations
$150 per confirmed room cancelled. For villa rentals fee applies to total number of rooms.
Custom Trip Design, Cruise, Tour and Air/Land Packages

$175 per confirmed traveler when paid in full.
Cancellation fees for our services cover for any potential loss of revenue due and may be waived at the discretion of our team based on circumstances.
All service fees are non refundable and non transferable.
Our cancellation fees are independent of any fees imposed by supplier or operators for cancellation.
All clients must agree to this policy via our Client Services Agreement prior to services being rendered.
For any trips planned after October 1, 2020, cancelling your trip will result in up to 10% of the total trip cost for a cancellation fee for a highly curated trip
or $200 cancellation fee per package booking
VALUE- True North Travel has access to the same, if not better pricing than available online, and we can secure exclusive VIP benefits, amenities, access, and extras. Our clients rely on us to make travel planning more efficient and enjoyable, to save them time and money, and to lend expertise which makes a world of difference. We work on your behalf before, during, and after every trip. If there is a hiccup; we are there to resolve the problem, so our clients can relax and enjoy their time. We work for our clients – not the travel supplier, so our main concern is always the traveler’s needs.
TIME- Our travel partners are true experts in planning and curating the very best travel experiences, and we can create a wonderful itinerary for you in a time-efficient way. We are experts in organizing complex trips involving large groups, multiple destinations while using several suppliers and outfitters. If you enjoy doing the research and planning-great! Our clients decide the level of their involvement for each trip. If you prefer having us handle all the details, we can do that, too.
PEACE OF MIND- We are your trusted partners in planning and booking memorable and tailored travel experiences. We get to know our client’s preferences and the best options for their desired travel experiences. This eliminates risk and results in exceptional experiences each and every time.
For many clients, paying a small fee to know that their entire trip has been customized and vetted – and knowing they’ve got someone who will be on call before, during, and after their trip – is well worth it. Fees aside, a travel advisor is still going to save you money (and will definitely save you time).
At True North Travel, we will manage as much or as little of your trip as you would like. We can handle all aspects including transfers from your home to the airport, luggage services, flights, hotels, all activities, restaurant reservations, rental cars or private drivers, private aviation, yacht charters- you name it, we can deliver it. If you are looking for someone to help with only one or two details of your trip, we are happy to assist with anything you may need.
