Let’s face it, not everyone is interested in the typical 4-hour white wedding. Some may even say “been there, done that”. So what’s a great alternative? How about getting married at sea? What could be more fun than your wedding festivities lasting 7 days or longer, and spending that week in exotic ports? The best part is you can do this with a small wedding party or invite all of your friends and family to come along.

 

Fun events can be planned both onboard and ashore throughout the week. Think of having a sail away party on deck, beach Olympics on a private island, a wine tasting for sophisticated palates, or amazing shore excursions can be tailored to the couple or the group’s personality. The possibilities are endless!

 

Cruising is the BEST vacation value! It’s practically all inclusive.

·       All meals are included

·       Top notch entertainment

·       Ocean view accommodations

·       Experience different ports of call in one trip

 

Most cruise lines have access to local authorities who perform ceremonies prior to leaving port or during a port call on the cruise. Did you know that you can get married on a beach in the Caribbean or on a Glacier in Alaska? The choices are endless and romantic!

 

Few cruise lines actually have captains who can legally perform the ceremony at sea. Princess, Celebrity and Azamara Club Cruises have ships that are registered in Bermuda and Malta which recognize marriages in international waters.

 

Getting married at sea has HUGE advantages. I’m talking about dollars! It’s much less expensive than a typical wedding with packages starting at low as $1,200. The wedding planner handles everything from the ceremony, event coordination, live music, photos, cake and flowers. It’s a one stop shop. Plus, couples can also enjoy some romantic extras: like breakfast in bed, chocolate covered strawberries, champagne, and spa treatments. 

 

Your friends and family will be talking about your wedding for a lifetime!
