Cruise Ship Wedding, an Alternative to Destination Weddings

Do you love traveling especially aboard a cruise ship? If you do, then why not try this alternative to destination wedding – getting married aboard a cruise ship.

Cruise liners now offers different packages so couples can have this unique wedding experience. The package includes everything from the chapel, the cake, the flowers, the photographer and even the honeymoon. The best part in having a cruise ship wedding is that you get to spend some extra time with your family and friends before and after your wedding. And this can save the couple time and money as they can have their honeymoon on board the cruise or to any port of destination of the cruise.

If you are planning to have this kind of wedding, you have to decide if you want to get married on board or while the ship is docked in a port of call or on land at one of the destinations.

If you choose to get married on board the ship, you have to check if the captain of the ship has the authority to perform a marriage or you have to check if a clergy is available to officiate the ceremony. If you want to get married in a chapel, you should also check if the ship has an available chapel for the ceremony as not all ship does. But you don’t have to worry as most cruise lines have wedding coordinators who can help the couple sort out these kinds of issues.

Having the ceremony while docked in one of the port of call has advantages too. First is you don’t have to worry if the captain is authorized to perform marriage or if there is a chapel available in the ship. This will also allow some of your guests who can’t join you for the cruise, either because of financial reasons or because of time, to attend the ceremony and reception.

A cruise ship wedding is a great way to have a unique destination wedding that saves the couple time and money while enjoying the luxury of a cruise.
