Considering a wedding cruise?

"To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and the flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of years, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be." --Rachel Carson, Foreword, Under the Sea-Wind, 1941

There may be nothing more romantic than getting married over a wide and deep bed of free flowing water. For some people, water is a soft vehicle of emotion, so it naturally makes sense to book a wedding cruise for such an emotional day. If you elect to share your vows over the gentle waves of the ocean, be sure to work with your wedding planner and prepare your finances and entertainment well ahead of time. If you are not working with a wedding planner, your travel agency can help you reserve a wedding cruise at almost any time of the year. The key is to book your wedding cruise well in advance because people schedule cruises for many different occasions including holidays!

Once you have looked over several travel packages, selected one within your budget, and booked a wedding cruise with a deposit (usually ten to twenty percent of the total cost), you will need to secure insurance for you, your family, and your guests immediately. Wedding cruise insurance covers things like; accidental death or dismemberment

For example, your wedding cruise can entertain your guests with things like: ballroom dancing bingo Broadway-style shows casinos golf ice skating kareoke parties Ping-Pong rock climbing scuba diving shore excursions shuffleboard talent shows video arcades volleyball and more

In addition, your cruise can offer age-appropriate and supervised activities for children while the adults celebrate the union of a couple in love. After you've experienced the wonder of a wedding cruise, you'll probably want to ask your travel agent for leads on a private honeymoon cruise too!
