Whether you’re tying the knot, honeymooning, renewing your vows or celebrating a special anniversary, a cruise ship provides all the right ingredients – an unbeatably romantic setting, five-star service, incredible dining and the chance to explore enticing faraway locations together.
Travel with friends and family, mingle with other passengers or just enjoy your privacy – the choice is yours.
If you’re planning on getting married at sea, there are various options. For the licence to be legal, the vessel must be in port, or no more than three miles from land. Some boats have their own chapels, or marry in one of your voyage’s ports of call.
Many cruises lines have wedding organisers to organise all the arrangements, from cakes, musicians, confetti and a photographer to paperwork.
While ship’s captains can conduct renewal ceremonies, the only way for British couples to be legally wed by a ship’s captain is on the Grand Princess, a Princess Cruises vessel. But other lines, including P & O, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean, can host marriages at sea with someone else officiating: operators will supply a minister.
With so much included, you’ll find a wedding and honeymoon cruise trip cost-effective compared to the price of marrying at home. Once you’ve tied the knot, you can start your honeymoon immediately, and literally sail off into the sunset!
Honeymoon cruises are a wonderful way to relax as you embark on married life. Most lines lay on VIP extras, from champagne and flowers to commemorative photos and even, occasionally, cabin upgrades. (Take along your marriage certificate to claim these benefits.) Those marking anniversaries may also receive a gift such as a cake or flowers.
Check out the packages your operator offers on wedding and honeymoon cruises. Why not treat yourselves to a penthouse cabin for added luxury?
Whether you want to be bewitched by the Mediterranean, enchanted by the Caribbean or dazzled by spectacular Alaska, there’s the perfect honeymoon or wedding cruise to suit every couple.
But don’t leave anything to chance. Book your cruise of a lifetime early to guarantee first choices of destination, departure dates and cabin.
