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.

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.
