Weddings & Honeymoons
Nothing quite compares with the romantic notion of getting married at sea as cruising provides one of the most idyllic settings in the world. It also provides an exciting way to celebrate a honeymoon or wedding anniversary.
A cruise has all the ingredients required for that special day: a
supremely romantic setting, excellent facilities and cuisine, five-star
service and terrific entertainment. Whether you choose to enjoy your
privacy or mingle with other passengers, there is a cruise to suit your
needs. Getting married at sea ensures the special couple can enjoy the
romance of a honeymoon (including sailing into the sunset) with or
without guests.
Add to the ambience of being at sea, a cruise offers the opportunity to
travel in comfort and style to lots of different destinations without
having to pack and unpack at every stop. Special couples may even
receive special treatment such as cabin upgrades and often free
champagne which differs from cruise junk to cruiseboat
Weddings At Sea
Couples can actually marry onboard certain junk boats, but maritime
regulations require the boat has to be either in port, or less than
three miles from land for the marriage to be legal. Many cruise junks
offer a dedicated wedding organiser to take care of arrangements on
behalf of the couple including the minister. However, the bride and
groom can often bring their own minister, priest to conduct the
official ceremony.
There are usually two ways to conduct the ceremony, either in the
dedicated chapel onboard or alternatively, the cruise line can organise
the wedding in one of the ports it visits. Packages can include
arranging such details as musicians, cakes, flowers, photos and
limousines. Cruise boats are also able to arrange a ‘renewal of vows’
service during the cruise and this ceremony can be conducted by the
boat’s captain.
Cruise junks that will marry at sea:
Prince, Princess, Lagoon Explorer and Red Dragon
Honeymoon Cruises
Cruising is an increasingly popular and romantic choice for a
honeymoon. It's a relatively hassle-free way to holiday and relatively
easy to budget for because the price includes so much. Honeymooners
often receive special extras on their trip including champagne or a
commemorative photograph depending on which cruise junk they’re
travelling with. Honeymoon cruises are so popular it’s not uncommon for
more than 05 honeymooners to travel on one Red Dragon cruise at any one
time!
Anniversary Cruises
Why not rekindle your romance and enjoy an Anniversary cruise? Most
cruise boats offer packages and benefits to help mark the occasion and
recreate the romance of the special day. Some cruise junks offer
packages to celebrate special anniversaries like silver or golden
weddings. Cruise junks without specific anniversary packages can also
make arrangements for a gift, a cake or champagne to be delivered to
the cabin. These can be booked once board or prior to sailing by the
passengers or even family and friends.
