Last reviewed: August 11, 2026. North South Travel is a Vancouver-based boutique agency whose official website documents customized luxury travel planning, corporate travel management and honeymoon-focused travel content. The business has been locally owned since 1981 and lists an office on West 10th Avenue in Vancouver.

For couples seeking a Vancouver honeymoon travel advisor, North South Travel presents an advisor-led approach to planning flights, hotels or villas, itineraries, tours and cruises. Its site includes romance and honeymoon material for destinations such as Argentina and Chile, Africa, the Maldives and the Caribbean, while the final trip scope depends on the couple’s consultation and proposal process.

Services and specialization

North South Travel’s confirmed leisure-planning services include flight booking, hotel or villa selection, customized itineraries, safaris, food and wine tours, escorted tours and cruise options. The agency describes both corporate and leisure divisions, so this profile concentrates on the leisure services that are relevant to a honeymoon rather than treating it as a wedding-planning company.

Honeymoon and romance travel are documented parts of its travel content. Examples on the official site include a honeymoon itinerary in Argentina and Chile, luxury safari honeymoon content for Africa, and romantic resort material for the Maldives and Caribbean. These examples show destination ideas and advisor expertise; they should not be read as a promise that every itinerary, resort or offer is currently available.

Leisure travel alongside a separate corporate travel division

Service area and who it may suit

The confirmed physical office is in Vancouver, British Columbia, and the company says it has served Vancouver’s Westside, including Kitsilano, for more than 40 years. Its published destination material is international, covering a range of long-haul and resort travel ideas.

It may suit Vancouver couples who want a consultation-led honeymoon plan rather than assembling every element independently, particularly where flights, accommodation, transfers, touring or cruising need to work together. The official site does not state a defined remote-client service area, so couples outside Vancouver should ask whether planning and document support can be provided for their location.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the agency’s personalized process: it begins with a complimentary 15-minute consultation, moves to a more detailed discussion, and provides up to three initial proposals before the itinerary is refined collaboratively. The company also states that its advisors provide support before, during and after travel.

North South Travel is a Virtuoso member. Its own website says this network can provide access to certain hotels, experiences and amenities, and its planning page notes that upgrades and credits depend on the relevant booking and availability. This is a documented network affiliation, not a guarantee of perks, room upgrades or preferred pricing for a particular honeymoon.

A practical limitation is that the website does not publish a standardized honeymoon package catalogue, a complete fee schedule or a stated response time. Couples should obtain the scope, advisor assignment, inclusions and terms for their specific itinerary in writing.

Pricing

North South Travel does publish some pricing information. Its professional trip management fees vary with trip complexity and duration and start as low as $50 per person. The company states that this fee is non-refundable and requests an upfront fee before preparing proposals after the initial consultation.

A published Paris-and-Maldives sample itinerary starts at $8,500 CAD per person and says the estimate is subject to availability. That example is not a general honeymoon price or a quote for every couple. Airfare, destination, dates, accommodation category, insurance, supplier terms, taxes and any additional planning fees can change the total; request a current written quote before booking.

Initial 15-minute consultation: complimentary

Contact and booking

The official site lists North South Travel & Tours Ltd. at 3702 W 10th Ave, Vancouver, BC V6R 2G4, telephone 604-736-7447. It also provides a “Start Trip” route and a contact form for prospective travellers.

For a honeymoon enquiry, provide likely travel dates, departure city, traveller count, destination ideas, budget range, preferred pace and any must-have experiences. This gives the advisor a basis for the stated consultation and proposal process. Do not rely on a directory listing alone for availability or pricing.

What couples should confirm

Before paying a planning fee or supplier deposit, confirm which advisor will handle the trip, the exact planning-fee amount, what the fee covers, and whether it is separate from supplier payments. Ask for a written itinerary showing flights, accommodation, transfers, excursions, dates, cancellation rules and payment deadlines.

If Virtuoso amenities are important, ask which benefits apply to the exact hotel and rate, whether they are subject to availability, and whether any are excluded. Also confirm travel insurance options, passport and visa responsibilities, accessibility needs, airline fare rules and the support process if a disruption occurs while travelling.
