The ultimate in wedding luxury
Skip the long-haul flights, connecting from airport to airport and the stress of travelling to your destination. Nothing but beautiful sun and sand, and a luxurious cruise-ship to carry you to sight after stunning sight.
Imagine waking up and strolling barefoot onto deck. The morning is cool and fresh. You have breakfast, disembark and stroll down to the beaches of an island. You’re getting married in the tropical paradise of the Caribbean.
More and more couples are looking to get married in unique ways, so around the turn of the new millennium, cruise-ship companies started fulfilling that need. Now practically every cruise-ship company will allow you to get married on board, or at least offer wedding/honeymoon packages. Great news for those addicted to travelling the world!
If you marry on board ship, you may have to hire your own licensed registrar to officiate at the ceremony; however, in many cases the captain of the ship is invested with the authority to perform marriages (this will be organised by the cruise company). On board ship, the location for your ceremony can be chosen from many purpose-built function rooms.
Of course, many couples choose to be married on shore – opting for the luxury of a beach wedding instead.
Either way, once the ceremony is over, your honeymoon begins instantly. Now you need to decide whether to bring your guests along as well!

Cruise-ship weddings are a perfect blend of luxury, honeymoon, sun, sea and sand. Most often, your chosen cruise company will be able to organise your ceremony, including the registration of the marriage.
