For guests
You have been invited on a cruise
A cruise wedding asks more of guests than a hotel wedding. Here is exactly what.
The Cruise Bride coordinates the sailing, the cabins and the guest travel. The cruise line runs its own wedding program where one is offered.
Tell us about your celebration
A cruise wedding specialist replies personally, usually within one business day.
If this is your first cruise, the invitation probably raised more questions than it answered. How much will it cost? Do you need a passport? Can you come for the wedding and skip the sailing? Those answers are all here, written for you rather than for the couple.
The short version: book inside the group block, get your documents sorted early because they take longer than you think, and treat the fare as roughly two-thirds of what you will actually spend.
Read the page that matches your question. If yours is not covered, send it to us through the form and we will answer it directly.
