Find the Right Cruise for the Way You Travel.
Cruise vacations can be easy once you're onboard. Choosing the right ship, itinerary, cabin, sailing date and package is where the decisions start adding up. Loftis Travel helps families, couples and first-time cruisers sort through those choices and build a cruise vacation that fits the people actually taking the trip.

Cruise Planning Starts With the People Traveling
The biggest ship or cheapest fare is not automatically the best vacation. The right cruise depends on who is traveling, what they enjoy, how much downtime they want and what matters most once they're onboard.
Family Cruises
Kid-friendly ships, family cabin options, activities, dining, entertainment and itineraries chosen around the ages and interests of everyone traveling.
Couples Getaways
Cruises with the right balance of dining, entertainment, relaxation, destinations and upgraded experiences for a trip built around the two of you.
First-Time Cruisers
Straightforward guidance on cabins, packages, embarkation, dining, gratuities, ports and what to expect before you ever step onto the ship.
Cruise Planning From Someone Who Actually Cruises
Paul has firsthand experience cruising with his own family and approaches recommendations from a practical traveler's perspective.
Cabin location, embarkation day, traveling with children, pre-cruise hotels, dining, ship layout and what is actually worth paying extra for can all affect the vacation in ways that are difficult to understand from a booking screen alone.
Loftis Travel helps compare cruise lines, ships, cabins, itineraries and add-ons so you are not making a multi-thousand-dollar vacation decision based on one fare or one online review.
Tell Me About Your CruiseFrom “We Want to Cruise” to Booked
You do not need to know the ship, cruise line or itinerary before reaching out.
Tell Me Who's Traveling
Share your travelers, dates, departure preferences, budget and what everyone hopes to get from the trip.
Compare the Best Fits
I research cruise options that make sense for your family, couple or group instead of overwhelming you with every available sailing.
Choose Your Cruise
We compare the strongest options, including ship, itinerary, cabin and important extras.
Prepare for Sailing
I help keep the details organized leading up to embarkation so you can focus on the vacation.
There Are More Decisions Than Most First-Time Cruisers Expect
That doesn't mean cruising has to be complicated. It means choosing well at the beginning can make the entire trip easier.
Which Ship?
Ships within the same cruise line can offer very different experiences. Bigger and newer isn't always automatically better for every traveler.
Which Cabin?
Interior, oceanview, balcony and suite categories each involve trade-offs, and cabin location can matter almost as much as cabin type.
Which Extras?
Drink packages, Wi-Fi, specialty dining, excursions and other add-ons can change both the experience and the final cost.
What Happens Before Sailing?
Travel to the port, hotel stays, check-in, documents and embarkation planning all happen before the vacation officially begins.
Decisions Loftis Travel Can Help You Work Through
The Ship Is Part of the Destination
On a cruise, the ship itself can be a major part of the vacation. Dining, entertainment, pools, children's programs, nightlife, cabin layouts and overall atmosphere can vary significantly from one ship to another.
That is why Loftis Travel looks beyond the headline fare and helps compare the experience your travelers are actually likely to have onboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know which cruise line I want before contacting you?
No. In many cases, comparing cruise lines and ships is one of the most useful parts of the planning process.
Can you help with family cruises?
Yes. Family cruising is one of Loftis Travel's primary areas of focus, including helping compare ships, cabins and onboard experiences for families traveling with children.
Can you help someone who has never cruised before?
Absolutely. First-time cruisers often benefit the most from having someone explain cabin choices, packages, embarkation, dining and other details before booking.
Can you help with the hotel before or after my cruise?
Yes. Pre- and post-cruise accommodations and related travel logistics can be incorporated into the overall trip planning when appropriate.
Do you only book one cruise line?
No. The goal is to compare appropriate options and help identify the cruise that best fits your travelers, priorities and budget.
