Honeymoon, Destination Wedding, Travel Specialist

Rome at the golden hour

Maria Northcott is the founder of Steward and Porter Travel, a boutique travel agency specializing in thoughtfully designed, high-touch travel experiences. She works with busy professionals who want more than just a trip. They want a seamless, elevated experience from start to finish.

Her path into the travel industry began early, working as a reservations agent at a ski resort in Park City. Years later, in 2020, she made the decision to turn a lifelong passion into her profession, building a business rooted in service, trust, and attention to detail.

At Steward and Porter Travel, the name reflects a philosophy. Travel should feel effortless. Every detail is handled, every transition thoughtfully planned, and every experience carefully curated so that you can simply arrive and enjoy.

With more than 30 countries on her passport, Maria brings both personal experience and professional expertise to every itinerary. She is especially known for designing relaxed, luxe honeymoons, celebration trips, and complex multi-destination journeys throughout Europe. Greece remains a personal favorite, not only for its beauty, but for its culture, history, food, and genuine hospitality.

Her approach is highly personalized. No two trips are ever the same. Whether it’s a multi-stop itinerary through Italy and Croatia or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, Maria designs each journey to reflect how you want to travel, not just where you want to go.

Based in Maine, Maria balances her love of travel with a deep appreciation for home. When she’s not planning her clients’ next adventures, you’ll likely find her reading, staying active, or spending time with her three cats.

Her philosophy is simple: travel should feel exciting, seamless, and deeply rewarding. With Maria as your advisor, you’re not just booking a trip. You’re investing in an experience designed entirely around you.
