A romantic honeymoon is one of the first unforgetable experiences couples enjoy at the beginning of their life together. But honeymoon vacations involve lots of planning and after the stress of organizing a wedding there is nothing better that an unwinding, romantic, hassle free getaway on a cruise. Think of a cruise ship as a floating resort.

Before choosing a cruise though, it is important to decide what type of honeymoon you want. Cruises offer a world of activities, such as romantic dinners, breakfast in bed, spa packages and so forth. Always have in mind that choosing the right cruise will have a huge impact on your honeymoon’s success.

Some cruise lines offer online honeymoon wedding registries that can be customized to suit individual honeymoon wishes. Honeymoon package deals are very popular as well and usually they consist of amenities that spell romance. There is often little difference in cost between mid and top range in a cruise, so remember to book in fast once you’ve decided what you want. And if privacy is something you want as honeymooners, remember to request a table for two before you leave port, this way you’ll avoid having to commune with new people at every meal.

A great thing about a honeymoon cruise is that you can go anywhere you want. Cruises sail all over the world, giving you the chance to make every continent a destination to your honeymoon getaway. Some of the top honeymoon cruise destinations to consider are Europe, the Caribbean, Alaska, and the French Polynesia. Disney Honeymoon cruises are also very popular, since they provide transportation and other special accommodations.

The Caribbean is the top pick destination for honeymoon cruises The Eastern Caribbean offers a wide variety of ports of call to stop and visit; there are so many islands that not being able to see one from the ship rarely happens. On the other hand, islands in the Western Caribbean are located quite apart from each other, requiring cruise travellers to spend more time at sea.

Another wonderful option for a honeymoon cruise destination is the Mediterranean Sea. These cruises stop at some of the most beautiful locations in Europe, offering tons of romance and privacy, perfect for any honeymooner.

Last but not least, for those in search of something different, there are the Alaskan Honeymoon Cruises. Alaskan cruises offer all the services you can find in other cruises plus the chance to see great wildlife, such as whales, and the Northern lights. This is definitely the option to go for if you enjoy the cool weather more than the warm sunny beach.

If you are looking for something tropical, romantic and quite, then French Polynesia is the place for you. Bora Bora, Tahiti, Moorea and Papete are some of the most popular ports of call. The coral reefs in places are astonishing so some cruises offer diving, fishing and snorkelling as special activities.

Choosing the right cruise for a honeymoon can be hard because there are many different options, but set your budget, explore what destinations are appealing to you and your spouse and talk to a travel agent about booking your trip. You’ll be surprise how amazing of an experience it will be!
