Is your love as deep and wide as the ocean? Alright, we admit that line might be a little cliché. But, there’s nothing cliché about a cruise ship wedding. If you are planning a destination wedding, your first thoughts are probably of tropical resorts. But, don’t overlook the possibilities of a ceremony at sea. Planning a cruise wedding has all the perks and benefits of a destination wedding with the added magic and excitement of the sea.
Perks of planning a cruise wedding
Much like a destination wedding at a hotel or resort, getting married on a cruise ship is a fabulous way to extend the celebration into a vacation with family and friends. Cruise weddings are also incredibly affordable and simple to plan. But, unlike a resort wedding, you don’t have to narrow down a world of choices to just a single destination. Since a cruise lets you experience several ports within a single trip and gives you plenty of care-free days at sea, you’ll get all the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation.
Among the reasons for planning a cruise wedding is the amount of flexibility in planning your big day. Opt to have your ceremony at sea, at a destination port stop or aboard the ship prior to departing.
