TIE THE KNOT ONBOARD

It’s as if a cruise was designed for romance …

Cruising provides one of the most idyllic settings for getting married, honeymooning or celebrating a wedding anniversary.

A cruise has all the elements necessary for sheer indulgence:

A blissfully romantic setting
Excellent amenities and cuisine
Five-star service
Great entertainment

Whether you want total privacy or are happy to join in with other passengers, there will always be a cruise to suit your needs.

For the more adventurous a cruise offers the opportunity to travel, in comfort, to lots of different places without having to pack and unpack at every stop.

And to add to the glamour, “special couples” might receive special treatment such as cabin upgrades and often free champagne.

Getting married during a cruise means the happy couple can then enjoy the romance of a honeymoon at sea, sailing into the sunset – with, or without, the guests!
