What It’s Like to Have a Cruise Wedding
🌊 A Wedding With a View — Literally
One of the most magical parts of a cruise wedding is the setting. Picture saying “I do” on a ship deck as the sun dips into the horizon, or in an elegant ballroom with panoramic ocean views. Cruise ships offer a variety of beautiful venues — from outdoor decks and theaters to lounges and private rooms — to suit your vision for the ceremony and reception.
At Cordelia Cruises, couples can choose from multiple onboard venues such as the scenic deck for main ceremonies or spaces like the Marquee Theatre for receptions and functions, all without worrying about coordinating separate vendors. Wedding planning becomes a breeze thanks to all‑inclusive packages covering venue, décor, catering, photography and more.
🛳️ Cruise Wedding Packages — Simple to Spectacular
Cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean make it easy to plan your big day with customizable packages tailored to different preferences and budgets. Their wedding offerings range from intimate ceremonies for just the couple to elaborate celebrations including dinners, champagne, cakes and more.
💐 What You Can Expect with Royal Caribbean
Royal Caribbean’s wedding packages typically include:
🔹 A dedicated pre‑cruise planner and on‑board coordinator
🔹 Non‑denominational officiant and ceremony music
🔹 Special touches like flowers, wedding cake, champagne and breakfast‑in‑bed for the couple
🔹 Options for receptions, photography, floral arrangements, live music and salon services
🔹 Priority boarding and special guest arrangements for non‑sailing attendees
Packages like Intimately Yours, Vows at Sea, Destinations I Do and Embark on Romance offer different levels of inclusions depending on your guest count and celebration style.
💞 Cordelia Cruises All‑Inclusive Experience
For couples choosing a Cordelia Cruise wedding, the focus is on convenience and customization. Their packages often cover everything — from the wedding menu and guest accommodations to décor, makeup and dedicated photography/videography — so you can focus on enjoying your big day rather than logistics.

💡 Why Couples Love Cruise Weddings
A cruise wedding isn’t just a ceremony — it’s a full celebration and vacation combined. Here’s what many couples enjoy:
🌅 Ever‑Changing Backdrops
Unlike a traditional venue that stays in one place, a cruise takes you on a journey. You might exchange vows under the open sky one moment and have sunset photos in a tropical port the next.
🧑🤝🧑 All‑in‑One Planning
Cruise weddings bundle planning, lodging, ceremony, reception, photography, food and entertainment into one seamless experience. It’s especially popular with couples who want a hassle‑free wedding with many conveniences handled by the cruise line.
🍽️ Memorable Experience for Guests
With world‑class dining, entertainment shows, live music, and on‑board activities, guests enjoy far more than just a wedding. It feels like a shared holiday with your loved ones and creates unforgettable memories together.
📅 Planning Tips & Considerations
Here’s what to know before booking your cruise wedding:
🔹 Book in Advance: Most cruise weddings — such as those with Royal Caribbean — require booking at least ~90 days before your sailing to secure your date and venue.
🔹 Guest Logistics: If you want friends or family who aren’t sailing to join the ceremony, packages like Embark on Romance can include them and allow special arrangements.
🔹 Legal vs. Symbolic: Some couples opt for a symbolic ceremony at sea (especially if legal paperwork is better handled at home) — this can be the romantic focus while leaving legal details for another time.
🔹 Customization: From cuisine styles to décor themes, most cruise wedding packages let you add personal touches to make your day truly yours.
