Honeymoon Cruises

Begin married life somewhere extraordinary

Celebrate the beginning of married life with a honeymoon cruise designed around the two of you. Unpack once, wake up somewhere new and combine unforgettable destinations with relaxing days at sea, exceptional dining and time to enjoy each other’s company.

From Caribbean beaches and Mediterranean islands to Alaska’s glaciers and Asia’s vibrant cities, a honeymoon cruise can be as peaceful, adventurous or indulgent as you choose. Stay in a balcony cabin, upgrade to a private suite, choose an adults-only ship or add a hotel stay before or after your sailing.

Why Choose a Honeymoon Cruise?

A honeymoon cruise brings the journey, accommodation, dining and destinations together in one holiday. It gives you the freedom to explore while still leaving plenty of time to relax and celebrate.

More Destinations, Less Effort

Visit several islands, cities or countries without repeatedly changing hotels or repacking your suitcase. Your accommodation travels with you, leaving you free to enjoy each new destination together.

Time to Slow Down

Sea days create natural opportunities to relax after the excitement of the wedding. Spend the morning by the pool, enjoy a couples’ spa treatment or watch the sunset from your balcony before dinner.

Your Honeymoon, Upgraded

Choose the Suite Life

Love the restaurants, entertainment and energy of a larger cruise ship, but want your honeymoon to feel more private and indulgent? The Suite Life offers the best of both worlds.

These premium suite experiences create a more secluded environment within a larger ship. Depending on the cruise line and suite category, you may enjoy access to private or reserved restaurants, lounges, sun decks and pools, alongside priority benefits and more personalised service.

When you are ready for a quiet afternoon or an intimate dinner, your private retreat is waiting. When you want live entertainment, cocktails, activities or a greater choice of restaurants, the rest of the ship remains within easy reach.

From Celebrity Cruises’ The Retreat and MSC Yacht Club to Norwegian Cruise Line’s The Haven and Cunard’s Grills Suites, there are Suite Life experiences to suit different honeymoon styles and budgets.

Honeymoon Cruises - Frequently Asked Questions

Are cruises good for honeymoons?

Yes. A cruise can combine several destinations with comfortable accommodation, dining, entertainment and relaxing time at sea. Couples can choose from adults-only, premium, luxury, adventure and resort-style ships, making it possible to find an experience that matches their interests and budget.

Which cruise line is best for a honeymoon?

The best cruise line depends on the atmosphere you prefer. Virgin Voyages is suited to adults-only holidays, Celebrity Cruises offers a stylish premium experience, Norwegian Cruise Line provides flexibility and choice, while Cunard and Princess Cruises offer a more classic style.

For a highly personalised and inclusive honeymoon, consider a luxury cruise line. Couples who prefer a larger ship with additional privacy should also explore Suite Life options.

What are the best honeymoon cruise destinations?

The Caribbean and Mediterranean are popular for beaches, warm weather and island-hopping. Alaska and the Norwegian Fjords are ideal for scenery and adventure, while Asia, Australia and New Zealand suit couples planning a larger, long-haul journey.

The best choice will also depend on the month of your wedding and how soon afterwards you intend to travel.

Do cruise lines offer honeymoon packages?

Some cruise lines offer romance packages, gifts or special-occasion extras, which may include Champagne, flowers, dining, spa treatments or cabin decorations. These are not normally included automatically and availability varies by cruise line, ship and sailing.

Should we book a balcony cabin or a suite for our honeymoon?

A balcony cabin gives you private outdoor space for morning coffee, sunsets and scenic sailing, making it a popular honeymoon choice. A suite offers more room and may include additional services, priority benefits or access to exclusive areas.

For a more secluded experience on a larger ship, consider one of the options featured on our Suite Life page.

Are there adults-only honeymoon cruises?

Yes. You can choose a fully adults-only cruise line, an adults-only ship or a family-friendly ship with dedicated adult-only areas. The right option depends on whether you want a lively social atmosphere, complete tranquillity or access to a broader range of big-ship facilities.

How far ahead should we book a honeymoon cruise?

Book once your wedding date and travel window are reasonably secure. Popular suites, balcony cabins, adults-only sailings and peak-season itineraries can have limited availability, so booking early usually provides the widest choice.

Cruise & Stay honeymoons may also require coordination between cruise dates, flights and hotels.

Can we take a no-fly honeymoon cruise from the UK?

Yes. Cruises depart from Southampton and several other UK ports, with itineraries to the Norwegian Fjords, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, Caribbean and beyond.

No-fly cruising can make the start of the honeymoon more relaxed by removing airports and overseas transfers.

What name should we use when booking our honeymoon?

Your cruise, flights and other travel bookings should use exactly the same name shown on the passport you will use for the trip.

If you are planning to change your surname after the wedding, decide which passport you will travel on before the booking is confirmed. Allow plenty of time for any passport application or change, and speak to your cruise specialist before making amendments to an existing booking.
