teamtravel.ca is a division of Lloyds Travel & Cruises.

Lloyds has been saving money for Canadian groups since 1952. Choirs, bands, church groups, sports teams, family reunions, and dance clubs have all benefited from our expertise in getting you the best possible price available. Whether your destination is Whistler, Europe, the South Pacific or a cruise ship, we've done it all.

From youth soccer to adult hockey, college basketball to high school rugby, Lloyds has your team trip covered. With experienced sports travel specialists, everything for your trip is carefully handled – no need to worry. Whether you’re flying internationally or domestically, just overnight or for a 2-week annual tournament, we can manage all the travel details. Our knowledgeable staff can help design a trip to accommodate your particular specifications.

We have arranged team travel trips for basketball, soccer, hockey, softball, volleyball, rugby and more. Whether its a game, tournament, leisure, or special interest, we’ve done it all.

Our teamtravel.ca website attracts a lot of first time clients and after that it is all referrals. Wondering how we can help you with your sports team travel? Give us a call at 1.800.800.7252.

"Lloyds has been organizing our annual Waterboys roadtrips for the BC Lions for years and we couldn't be happier. The attention to detail and first class service is always exceptional. They continue to rise to any challenge we throw their way."

Groups & Events

Since 1952, Lloyds Travel & Cruises has been organizing group travel for businesses, governments, universities, colleges, schools, sports teams and events, weddings, associations, professional development, artists, faith missions, and knitters (we do one Adventure Knitting group trip a year!!!).

We have relationships in several countries across many different interests. We have seen and solved just about every hurdle imaginable and have, as a collective group, the ability to create life-long events for you. We can help, whether you want to:

• get 650 family members to Maui from twelve different gateways;
• create an all-inclusive environment at a non-all-inclusive hotel;
• get married after sunset in Jamaica, legally;
• get a French Immersion school group set up with a facility in Quebec;
• introduce a group to volunteer activities in Africa;
• create an incentive for your clients that is nothing they have seen before; or,
• set up an amazing weekend jaunt for your favourite pro sports team VIP's.

Family Reunions

Family reunions are quickly becoming a hot topic with most destinations and resorts. We have the team to pull it all together for you, whether it be a group of 15 to:

• a few cabins in the Gulf Islands of BC,
• a destination in the Caribbean or Mexico,
• a bike trip through Europe, or
• a Cruise to Alaska.

School Groups

Our school group business has grown quickly and rapidly. Just the liability issues alone permit us to save school groups money, time and exposure to legal recourse.

Weddings Away

What can be better than getting married on the beach in Mexico? Why, saving money, of course, and spending some quality time away from home with close family and friends. We can help you create that memorable trip that you will all be talking about in the years to come.

With the ownership of our Breakaway Vacations company and their own wedding location in the Gulf Islands, we generate a lot of Weddings Away business. This is really all about relationships with tour operators and specific hotels, in addition to our experience.

Leave all the complicated things to us. We can get Uncle Nishi into the wedding group even though he isn't flying with the tour company most of your party is using. Aunt Marg is in a wheelchair? No problem. Solving how to get married after dark in Jamaica? Done that.

We are professionals and do our job very well and the best part is we actually save you money!! More information is available on our Lloyd's site here.

Corporate

From 20 travellers a day to one per week, our Corporate Travel Services for budget management of your travel costs range from assigned dedicated agents to tailored web-accessed bookings with detailed usage and financial reports.

Our special events team can also deliver focused incentive products to assist your management team to move your yardsticks downfield in a measureable and cost effective way.

Executive Retreats

A successful Executive Retreat must have zero distractions (unless organized), be easy to get to, and offer the ability for the group to get to know each other better. Developing trust, establishing goals and hitting targets within an executive team is your job; ours is to provide you with the perfect environment.

Knitting

Whoever said “knitting’s tame” hasn’t been with Judy on one of the knitting tours she designs and escorts. Whether it’s cruising aboard a small yacht in the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador, taking the ferry to Tancook Island off the coast of Nova Scotia, attending a Broadway hit in New York City or sampling the tastes of the North End in Boston, there is adventure and, of course, there is knitting. Knitters from across Canada and the United States register early to reserve a place in Judy’s Global Knitting Adventures.

A listing of Judy's current adventures are listed here.
