Discover FLORIDA

Sun-drenched Florida is a traveller’s paradise that features an abundance of  beaches, natural areas, the best theme parks in the world, shopping, sightseeing destinations, and historic locales. With its abundance of things to see and do, Florida is a top vacation spot for Canadians all year long. Because of Florida’s popularity, prime Florida accommodations sell out early during peak travel times. You’ll want to book early to avoid disappointment.

And Florida is so flexible. Stay at one or two different accommodations, add an  extra attraction or excursion… the choices are endless.


Central Florida

The Orlando area is a larger-than-life playground for families. Of course, there are the famous theme parks, but there are also museums, outlet shopping, nature excursions, endless dining, and more. Lake Buena Vista has the closest accommodation options to Walt Disney World Resort. Kissimmee features affordable accommodations and fun shopping opportunities. Davenport, just 15-20 minutes from Disney, features a beautiful array of Holiday Homes, condos and townhomes – and Holiday Escapes features the best of the bunch.


Simply decide where you want to go, when and for how long, then contact a Maritime Travel agent.
