WEDDING, HONEYMOON, ANNIVERSARY CRUISES

GET MARRIED ON A CRUISE OR CELEBRATE AN ANNIVERSARY!

Being aboard a ship can be the perfect setting for a honeymoon, wedding , anniversary or for reaffirming your vows. It's so romantic!

Here are some tips on ceremonies at sea:
You can have the ceremony on deck or in a ship's lounge on the day of embarkation. You must make arrangements well in advance. Some people have the entire wedding party sail with them on the cruise. Others just have a ceremony and reception on board before the cruise, then go on the cruise themselves.

Weddings: Don't forget to bring passports and notarized documentation of any previous divorces. Most places have waiting periods. In some countries a government official must come on board and officiate the ceremony. Sometimes it's easier to have a legal ceremony at home and reaffirm your vows in a second ceremony on board.

Renewal of vows: Some ships have an afternoon or sunset ceremony for couples who want to reaffirm their wedding vows, usually officiated by the captain.

Programs: They can be simple and complimentary; or they can range in price from less than $100 to several hundred dollars, to a custom $20,000 wedding. Typical features include souvenir wedding album, wedding cake, champagne, limo service from the airport, flowers, a framed photograph. There may be complimentary champagne or a fruit basket or flowers in your cabin on your arrival, wine with dinner, a souvenir video, or even a future cruise discount. One cruise company gives honeymooners a future anniversary cruise for half-fare.
