Looking for a Special Wedding? A Cruise is the Perfect Choice

Looking for a special wedding day, you might want to consider a wedding at sea. Such a wedding would certainly be anything but ordinary. Modern cruise ships are the perfect place for a wedding ceremony. These massive ships already have everything the bride and groom need, ballrooms on the promenade deck, restaurants, bars and reception halls on the lido deck. And instead of a stateroom, you can opt for a honeymoon suite complete with balcony and hot tub with an ocean view. If you are really lucky you might even be able to convince the ship’s captain to marry you on that special day. Seeing how the wedding and honeymoon will be combined into one fabulous event all you need to do is pick a cruise that you and your partner can agree on. Today’s ultra luxurious, state-of-the-art ocean liners can effortlessly sail any of the seven seas in tropical or arctic weather. Honeymoon destinations include, sailing around the Mediterranean to destinations such as the Greek islands of Rhodes and Crete, then over to the Turkish Riviera with a port call in Istanbul for shopping. Or maybe you’d like to take a cruise to the Caribbean; first setting sail from Miami, Florida to Jamaica, Cuba, Aruba and finally to Cancun Mexico.

Both sound like they’d make a great celebration for you and your family, but if that’s not enough you can sail around the world. Now that you have your destination and ports of call sorted out, you have to make sure everyone makes it onto the big boat. Many of the things you need for a perfect marriage day you can find online. This includes wedding stationary, gifts, accessories and favours. Stationary is very important in getting the word out about the pending nuptials in time. This includes the save the date for the cruise, invitations, invitation RSVPs, and thank you cards for all the great gifts your certainly going to receive. The ship’s chef and international restaurant will certainly be able to cook a delicious dinner for your entire party. Of course this also includes the marriage cake, but to be on the safe side you might want to bring your own cake topper, garters and ring cushions, those things the boat’s staff might not be able to provide.

In addition to the big day, you can research the entire holiday over the internet. A good website will offer ship reviews, testimonials, news, last minute bargains, and special offers. The reviews are great because you get to hear what other passengers said about the ocean adventure. The site should also include a list of the most popular and trusted names in the industry such as Celebrity, Cunard, Fred Olsen, Ocean Village and P&O. Today’s cruise ships are like floating cities. They have everything you would find at home and more, including hair dressers. This is very important for the bride and bridesmaids to get their hair just right in the ship’s salon. And if the bride or groom is a little nervous they can enjoy a Thai or Swedish massage in the Spa. Enjoy starting your life together at sea.
