Honeymoon Cruise, Cruise Weddings

Cruises are one of the most popular types of vacations for good reason. There are ships of just about every size, style and taste available! And where there’s a body of navigable water, you’ll probably find a cruise of some sort available.

If you are a knowledgeable cruiser, then let’s find out what you like and don’t like, and find the right cruise for your occasion. If you haven’t cruised at all or in a long while, much has changed, and we invite you to read more about today’s cruise options on TravelStore’s comprehensive cruise website.

Can we really have a cruise wedding?
Yes, however in most cases the ceremony has to take place while the ship is in port before the ship sails, and you probably won’t be married by the ship’s captain. To have a wedding onboard, you have to be booked to sail as passengers on the cruise. By having the ceremony on the ship prior to sailing, your guests can come aboard for the ceremony and reception, but will disembark before sailing.

Since many couples want to enjoy a cruise honeymoon, getting married onboard ship is an efficient and convenient way to have their cruise wedding and start their honeymoon, without having to travel anywhere. And if you live in a major city on the coast from which cruise ships depart, this option can work out very nicely. A few ships, Princess Cruises, for example, also have wedding chapels onboard their newer ships.

If you are already married and wish to renew your vows, this can be done at sea. 

Does a cruise make for a good honeymoon?
As stated earlier, there are no "right" or "wrong" answers. A cruise can be a terrific honeymoon adventure, and most every cruise line offers newlyweds special nice touches tomake this special occasion all the more memorable. What's important is to understand the differences between cruise lines and cruise ships, and find the right one, as well as the right destination, that can best fulfill your honeymoon dreams. Getting married on a ship is hugely popular, with thousands of weddings being conducted each year.
