Sometimes vacations are just that - a chance to get away and relax. And sometimes they're something more - a trip built around the chance to see or do something unique, a trip focused on something that has always fascinated you.

McTavish Travel is happy to help you either way but our experienced vacation travel team gets a special kick out of planning those unique journeys.

Take cruising for example. There are cruises that cater to all kinds of special interests: Expedition voyages to exotic places such as Antarctica, the Amazon rain forest and Africa; theme voyages with entertainment ranging from jazz festivals and classical music concerts to golf clinics and murder mysteries at sea; barge trips on Europe's canals and rivers.

Education is another special interest of many travellers and we have the expertise to help you learn more about your favourite subjects -


there are trips featuring everything from Italian cooking classes, fine dining and wine tasting to art and antiquities.

Adventure travel is big - especially among our younger clients - and McTavish Travel is happy to help arrange vacations for folks like divers, climbers, paddlers, house-boaters, hikers and bikers.

And the wide world of sport has more than its share of players and fans. If you're a golfer we can help you tee off in all kinds places - Scotland, Ireland, Portugal's Algarve are just a few of the wonderful golfing destinations you can play.
