P&O Cruises has become the first British cruise line to offer same sex weddings at sea, with the first ceremony to be held in the Caribbean in January 2018.
This follows a recent Supreme Court ruling enabling same sex marriages in Bermuda, where all the ships in fleet, except Britannia, are registered.
Azura will stage P&O Cruises’ first same sex marriage in the Caribbean in January
The first wedding, on Azura, will be performed by the ship’s Captain and the marriage licence will be issued by Bermuda.
Says P&O Cruises senior vice president, Paul Ludlow: “I am delighted that following this much anticipated change in the legalities we are now the first British cruise line to be able to arrange same sex weddings on board. ”
A P&O Cruises Weddings at Sea package costs from £1,200.
