Legalities
While sailing overseas, one must be mindful of the legal formalities and marriage registration as they can vary depending upon your location and nationality. Research and understand the legalities involved, such as obtaining marriage licenses and adhering to any residency requirements of the countries you visit.
Choose the right cruise line and itinerary
Each cruise line offers different amenities, packages, and destinations. Select a cruise line that aligns with your wedding vision, whether it's a family-friendly ship, a luxury liner, or a destination that holds special meaning for you
Plan for the weather
While cruises offer stunning outdoor venues, the weather can be unpredictable. Have a backup plan for outdoor ceremonies and receptions, such as an indoor venue that can be quickly set up in case of inclement weather
Coordinate with the cruise line's wedding planner
Most cruise lines offer wedding planning services. Collaborate closely with the cruise line’s wedding planner, who will be familiar with the ship’s capabilities and can help coordinate logistics, from decor to ceremony timing and reception details
Book early
Cruises are popular vacation choices, and wedding spots can fill up quickly. Secure your booking as early as possible to get the best venues and dates, and to ensure ample time for planning and coordination
Personalise your wedding package
While cruise lines offer various wedding packages, don’t be afraid to personalise them to reflect your style and preferences. Add personal touches, such as customised decor, a special menu, or unique entertainment options, to make your wedding truly your own
