Ship Wedding 
Venue Options

Here are a few options for your wedding at sea:

1. Shoreside - Some couples choose to wed shoreside. That is, while the ship is in port they will tie the knot and then set sail for their honeymoon. This option allows guests who do not wish to cruise to attend the wedding.

2. At Sea – Most guests enjoy getting married while the ship is at sea. The wedding usually happens at an outside location, with the bright blue sea serving as the backdrop or inside a chapel or some other immaculate location on board the ship.

3. In Destination – Third, other couples will choose a port of call on a ship’s itinerary and get married in that location.

Whether you envision a tropical beach wedding in the Caribbean, a romantic Mediterranean voyage, or even a journey to the northern lights in Alaska, your wedding can double as an extraordinary honeymoon. It's not just a wedding day – it's the adventure of a lifetime.

Whichever of the three options is your preference, you’re in for an unforgettable experience.

Stress Less and Cost Less

Do you recall how much your friend sweated when she was getting married on land? She was just like a chicken without a head. There was so much stress about the venue, the food, the decorations, and the list goes on.

Your wedding at sea is guaranteed to cost less than the traditional land wedding and will bring you less stress.

You cannot afford to lease an entire cruise liner, but the ship as a venue comes included in your at-sea wedding package.

Whether it is outside by an infinity pool or on a bridge stretching over water, or an immaculately decorated area inside, your cost will be less than a grand hall on land.

How about the wedding being less stressful? It is.

Worry not about the logistics of planning a wedding at sea. There is a dedicated team of experts that ensures a level of convenience and seamlessness that traditional weddings often struggle to match.

Your team of dedicated and experienced wedding coordinators will take care of every detail, from selecting the perfect ceremony location on board to arranging the finest floral arrangements.

This means that you will have a lot more time to glow in the excitement of your impending nuptials and not stress over the little things.

Things to Remember Regarding Caribbean Cruise
Ship Weddings

1. Choosing Your Cruise - Not all cruise sailings offer cruise ship weddings. Contact your travel advisor to help you select the right cruise line and the right ship.

2. Marriage License – You’re responsible for obtaining a wedding license. In some cases, it may take some time to obtain, depending on whether you get married at sea or in a special destination. Start your wedding plans early to allow adequate time.

3. Guests Allowed - You’re limited to the number of guests allowed in the wedding ceremony on board the ship. If you wish to have more people than allowed to celebrate with you, here’s a tip: Invite them to cruise with you and reserve a room on board to have your own after ceremony celebration/reception.

4. US Shoreside Weddings – If you live in the US, having your wedding while the ship is docked at a US port is quite convenient. A local official will conduct the ceremony. Furthermore, some friends and relatives who do not wish to cruise may attend the wedding and then go home.
