Of all the romantic destinations for a small wedding, a cruise wedding has to be among the loveliest. On a cruise wedding, you’re in lovely surroundings with five-star service at your beckon call. The cruise wedding also makes for a perfect destination wedding as you and your group can go so many different places and try so many different things while traveling without ever having to go more than a few steps from the cruise ship.

The Cruise Wedding

The first part of the cruise wedding is deciding how the wedding will be done. Will it take place during the day on the cruise ship, perhaps officiated by the captain of the boat while out at sea? Or will it be while the boat is at port giving guests the opportunity to attend the wedding while opting not to travel with the party once the boat sets sail? Either way, you have endless options of how to set up the wedding and luxury accommodations.

The cruise wedding is romantic by its nature – especially if you have the wedding with the open seas as a backdrop. Cruise ships are richly decorated and luxury accommodations. For a wedding, this means the service can be in a lovely area with a stunning backdrop while the reception can be anything from cocktails in the lounge to a sit-down five-star dinner in a private dining room. Professionally trained wait staff and entertainment professionals make the cruise go smoothly and ensure your guests and you have a beautiful time.

The Honeymoon

When the cruise wedding is over, the bride and groom travel only a short distance to reach their honeymoon suite. The wedding party is more than likely to join the happy couple along with close family friends and relatives as the entire wedding sets sail on a few days worth of happy togetherness. The bride and groom have ample time to be romantic and alone on destinations and in their cabin, but they also have a great support and friend network to have fun with on the journey.

Destination weddings are becoming increasingly common as couples realize that they would rather share their happy day with just those they love in a truly exotic location. To make it work, the bride and groom have to be organized, but rather than the wedding breaking up and guests heading away after just a few hours, the people you enjoy the most are able to keep on enjoying the atmosphere and the trip with you. Having a cruise wedding especially lets you extend the party for up to a week without increasing your own wedding costs.

Your friends and guests are likely to love the experience as well. A cruise wedding is the perfect opportunity for those friends and relatives in your life to take a much-needed vacation. They might grumble a bit initially, but once they know what they are in for and how much fun they can have away from work and other obligations, this cruise wedding will be the hit of the year.
