Dreaming of clear blue waters, coastal stops, or relaxing days at sea? A cruise might be the perfect way to unwind—and we’re here to help you plan one that fits you perfectly.

At Allied Travel, we help Ankeny travelers navigate the sea of cruise options—from choosing the right line and itinerary to finding the best time to book and making sure the details are covered.

Whether you’re cruising for the first time or looking for something new, we’ll help you plan with confidence. Let’s make your next vacation a smooth sail from start to finish.

The Right Cruise Takes More Than Just Picking a Ship

Planning a cruise isn’t as simple as choosing dates and a destination. From ship size to cabin types, port stops to onboard experiences—each detail shapes how your trip actually feels.

That’s where our insight matters. We help you make sense of the options, compare cruise lines, and choose the one that truly fits your style and expectations—so you don’t end up on a trip that looks good online but falls flat in real life.

With Allied, cruise planning isn’t about guesswork. It’s about feeling confident you’re getting the right trip—not just a convenient one.

What Our Cruise Planning Services Include

  • Cruise Line & Ship Matching:

    We help you choose the right cruise line and ship based on your travel style, destination goals, and budget—so you don’t end up on the wrong kind of cruise for your vibe.

  • Cabin Selection Support:

    From interior cabins to balcony suites, we’ll help you find the best stateroom layout and location for comfort, convenience, and price.

  • Port & Itinerary Guidance:

    Not all stops are equal. We’ll walk you through port options, excursion opportunities, and sea days to help you pick the cruise that fits your ideal pace.

  • Pre- and Post-Cruise Add-Ons:

    Want to explore your departure or return city? We can help you build in hotel stays, transfers, or extra travel days to complete your itinerary.

  • Group & Celebration Cruises:

    Cruising with friends, family, or celebrating a milestone? We assist with group bookings and onboard arrangements that make the experience feel extra special.

Why It Pays to Start Planning Your Cruise Now

Cruises often fill up months in advance—especially the best ships, itineraries, and cabins. Starting early means more choices, better pricing, and time to get every detail right.

Whether you’re thinking about spring break, a summer getaway, or a special celebration at sea, planning ahead helps turn that idea into something real—and enjoyable.

Give yourself something to look forward to. The sooner you start, the smoother it all comes together—and the more time you have to enjoy the countdown.

“Our wedding was perfect! We had around 40 family and friends at our wedding in Cancun. That was a lot of coordinating! Thankfully Allied Travel took all of the stress and worry off of our plates! They really allowed us the opportunity to enjoy our wedding and our honeymoon at another resort! The hardest part will be deciding where we want to go next! Allied Travel will do all of our resort and vacation planning from here on out! Thank you again!! 5 Stars, A+, 10/10, truly the highest praised rating available!”

“Just returned from a trip to London & Paris that Allied Travel helped us plan. They arranged flights, hotels and train links. Their travel specialist was very accommodating and was happy to help us keep searching till we found the hotels we wanted. These ended up being nicer than we expected. This is the second time we have used Allied Travel to help us arrange a trip to Europe. We plan on using them again for future overseas trips.”

“My husband and I were connected to Allied Travel through a friend and we could not have been happier we did. Outside of booking our own flight, they helped us find our hotels and activities while in Hawaii for our honeymoon. When one hotel put us in a different room than what we paid for, Allied Travel was on top of it and had the situation worked out within an hour…at 11 pm CST. Not being someone that enjoys trip planning, we will absolutely utilize their services for future trips!”
