Weddings & Vow Renewals at Sea

Marry at sea, in a tropical port, or renew your vows under the stars. A cruise wedding bundles the ceremony, honeymoon and your guests’ getaway into one unforgettable voyage.

A wedding at sea is romance and value in one: your ceremony, reception, honeymoon and your guests’ vacation all happen on the same ship. Marry onboard while docked, in a beach port, or renew your vows mid-cruise — a cruise wedding specialist coordinates the package, the cabins and the group so it’s effortless.

Weddings at Sea — Frequently Asked Questions

Can we legally marry on a cruise?

Some ships and ports offer legally-binding ceremonies; others do symbolic ceremonies with a legal signing on land. A specialist explains the options for your cruise line.

Is a cruise wedding cheaper than a land wedding?

Often yes — packages bundle venue, catering and honeymoon, and guests pay for their own cabins.

Can our guests come aboard for the ceremony?

Yes — dockside ceremonies let non-sailing guests attend, and sailing guests join the whole voyage.
