Why you should choose a cruise for your honeymoon

Planning your honeymoon? Here’s why a cruise should top your list.
The bells have finished ringing, the confetti has settled, and the crowds have departed. How should you start married life? Running away with your other half to a dreamy location sounds ideal if you ask us. What if you could combine a selection of destinations, not have to worry about travelling between them, and have all your food and drink included? With Marella Cruises, you can do all of that and more. So, if that sounds like the stress-free escape you need after months of frantic wedding planning, here are a few reasons you should head off on a cruise for your honeymoon. Plus, find out how we can help you celebrate your vows at sea. 

Once you’re ready, browse our cruise deals to get booking.

You can tick off a selection of places in one trip

A honeymoon cruise is a great way to see the world – depending on your itinerary, you can see multiple ports or even countries in one trip. Plus, nothing says romance like watching the sunset in each other’s arms from your cabin balcony. The Highlights of the Mediterranean itinerary is a top pick for honeymooners – it ticks off Majorca, Corsica, Italy, France and mainland Spain over seven nights. You can even combine your cruise with a week’s stay in the destination at the start or the end of your itinerary, giving you more time to take a well-deserved rest after your big day. And, best of all, there’s no need to pack and repack your case every time you head to a new port, or waste time on planes. How else could you see so many places in such a stress-free way?

Our cruises are All Inclusive as standard

All our ships are All Inclusive. That means your food and drink are included in the price of your honeymoon cruise, and most of the onboard activities are also part of the deal. Tips and service charges are included on all of our ships, too, and you can always upgrade to our Premium All Inclusive drinks package if you fancy – it means you’ll be able to pick almost anything from the full bar menu at no extra cost.

It’s a great way to relax after your wedding

Get out and see all the ports of call on your itinerary. Or, stay on the ship and hit the spa for a couples’ massage – Marella Explorer and Marella Explorer 2 each have an Oceans Spa onboard. If you want to explore a destination without having to worry about organising it yourself, book a shore excursion – they’re a great way to explore the destination you’re visiting, and there’s everything from expert-led city tours to beach transfers and wine-tasting trips.

It’s the ultimate romantic escape

Whether you’re watching the sunset as you’re pulling out of port or exploring a new city together, cruises are a great way to kick off married life. There are plenty of ways to make things extra special, too – we’re talking everything from bottles of bubbly and chocolate-dipped strawberries to cabin upgrades and couples’ spa treatments.

Pick the gold package and you’ll get a selection of canapes for two in your cabin, while the Platinum package bags you a dinner hosted at the Captains or Senior Officer’s table.
