Part of Dove Travel & Cruises International, the Nashville travel agency serving Tennessee since 1994.
Shelbyville is the Walking Horse capital of the world, home to the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration every August, a courthouse square laid out in 1810 that became the model for county seats across the South, and the Duck River running past the pencil factories that once made it the Pencil City.
Nashville International is about 58 miles away, with flights to Florida's cruise ports, the Caribbean, Mexico and the main hubs. For a cruise without a flight, Mobile about 6 hours and New Orleans about 8 hours by car.


A travel agent in Shelbyville does not need an office on the square. Dove Travel & Cruises International works with Shelbyville travelers by phone and email from Nashville, about an hour up I-24 and Highway 231, and does everything a local desk would: compares cruise lines and resorts, holds cabins and rooms, books the flight from BNA, arranges insurance and sends every document electronically.
Every Shelbyville traveler gets a single point of contact with a direct line, not a call center. Cancelled flight, moved itinerary, lost document: you call your agent and it gets handled.
Since 1994 the agency has held ASTA, CLIA, IATA and ARC credentials and a BBB A+ rating, which is what lets a Shelbyville travel agent hold space and negotiate directly with cruise lines and resorts.
As a travel agency serving Shelbyville, our strongest lines are cruises, all-inclusive resorts, Disney and escorted tours. From Bedford County a cruise can start without a flight: Mobile sails in season about six hours south and New Orleans year round about eight, or we fly you from Nashville to Florida the day before and include the hotel night.
Church groups, family reunions and school-break weeks are planned the same way: group space held early, each household's payments tracked, everyone on the same itinerary. There is no planning fee; the cruise line, resort or tour operator pays the agency, so the price matches booking direct.
Quotes for Shelbyville travelers arrive in writing with taxes, port fees and payment dates shown, so there are no surprises at final payment.


Tell us the dates, the budget and who is going, and whether the trip has to fit around Celebration week. Within a business day your Shelbyville travel agent sends a short list with real prices, flights from Nashville included, instead of forty browser tabs of guesses.
With the deposit paid, your agent locks the cabin or room, arranges transfers and excursions, confirms passport rules and offers insurance, then sends every document electronically.
On the road, the same agent is a phone call away. That is the difference between a Shelbyville travel agent and a booking website.
