Honeymoons at Sea!

DID YOU KNOW?
  • Cruising is becoming the number one honeymoon getaway choice.
  • Dollar for dollar, cruise vacations give you higher quality accommodations and better service than land-based vacations.
  • A cruise allows you to participate in activities you enjoy while giving you plenty of time to be together and continue the romance of your engagement and wedding.

Time of year will certainly be a consideration in your honeymoon planning! While most destinations have year-round activities, some are certainly less desirable at certain times of year. Bermuda, a popular honeymoon destination, is an example. From the middle of November to the middle of March, their weather can be cold and damp. That's why cruise ships only call in Bermuda from April to October. The same is true with European and Alaska cruises. So if one of these destinations is your honeymoon choice, you will need to schedule accordingly.

Length of time available will obviously affect your planning. However, there is a cruise to fit almost any time schedule, from 3 days to 3 months!

Budget is, of course, the other major consideration in planning your honeymoon. Keep in mind that a cruise is an all-inclusive package including cruse accommodations, all meals, and shipboard entertainment and activities. Extra costs include port taxes, gratuities, bar bill and shore excursions. We can advise you as to these costs so you can plan accordingly. When compared with a land-based resort honeymoon, a cruise proves by far to be the best value!

An elegant cruise ship can be the storybook setting for a picture perfect honeymoon!
