At Allied Travel, we guide West Des Moines travelers through the full cruise planning process—from picking the right cruise line and itinerary to timing your booking and handling every detail along the way.

A Great Cruise Is More Than Just Picking a Ship

Booking a cruise isn’t as simple as clicking a few dates. The ship size, cabin layout, ports of call, and onboard atmosphere all play a huge role in how your trip actually feels.

That’s why we bring more than just booking tools—we bring cruise insight. Our team helps West Des Moines travelers sort through the noise, compare cruise lines, and pick the one that matches your travel style, not just your schedule.

With Allied Travel, cruise planning feels easy—but never generic. You’ll know you’re choosing a vacation that’s well-matched, well-timed, and worth every day at sea.

What’s Included in Our Cruise Planning Services

  • Matching You with the Right Cruise Line & Ship:

    Every cruise line has its own vibe. We help West Des Moines travelers find the ship and brand that match their pace, preferences, and destination goals—so your cruise feels like a perfect fit.

  • Smart Cabin Recommendations:

    From cozy interior cabins to oceanview suites, we’ll help you select the right stateroom layout and location for your comfort, convenience, and budget.

  • Itinerary & Port Planning:

    Not every stop is a must-see. We guide you through different itineraries, highlight top excursions, and help balance sea days so your cruise flows the way you want it to.

  • Pre- & Post-Cruise Add-Ons:

    Want to explore your departure city or stay an extra night after the cruise? We can arrange hotel stays, airport transfers, and bonus travel experiences to round out your trip.

  • Group Cruises & Celebrations:

    Whether you’re cruising for a reunion, anniversary, or big birthday, we’ll coordinate group bookings and onboard extras to make your celebration truly unforgettable.

Why It’s Smart to Start Planning Your Cruise Early

The best cruises—prime cabins, top itineraries, and popular ships—tend to book up well in advance. Starting early gives you more options, better deals, and time to fine-tune the entire experience.

Whether you’re eyeing a spring break cruise, summer escape, or milestone celebration, early planning helps turn your dream trip into a well-executed reality.

The sooner you begin, the more confident and relaxed you’ll feel leading up to departure. Get excited—your countdown to cruising starts now.

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”
