WEDDING'S AT SEA

WEDDING'S AT SEA

Up until the time Princess Cruises launched its weddings program at sea in 1998, no such ceremonies has been conducted...in more than 100 years! Princess captains (providing the ship has a Bermuda registry) are the only captains authorized for weddings at sea. And Princess Cruises is the only cruise line that offers this!

Hundreds of couples get married each year by Princess captains. It is offers in such waters around the globe as the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Alaska and more! Harborside ceremonies in embarkation ports or onshore weddings are also available in select ports of call.

Every wedding ceremony package at sea with Princess Cruises includes: live music, champagne, bridal bouquet and matching boutonniere, a photo package with album, wedding cake, souvenir wedding certificate, and the services of the ships onboard wedding coordinators. They make sure everything runs smoothly!

The couple can customize their wedding with a variety of items. They can add a reception with food and beverages, floral, photography and even video. Plus, pre- and post-ceremony spa packages are also available.

Couples who don't particularly want to spend their honeymoon with friends and family can tell their loved one's to view the ceremony online at www.princess.com Here on Princess Cruises website they are the first cruise line offering live wedding cams located in the chapel onboard.
