Destination Weddings offer a unique experience for couples looking for a romantic, enjoyable and stress-free wedding experience. Couples get a dream wedding in an exotic location, usually at a lower cost than a traditional ceremony. Luxury resorts offer all wedding services (including a wedding coordinator), spas, entertainment and more. Sea The World Vacations works with the bride and groom to find the destination that best fits their tastes, expectations and budget!
Cruise weddings are increasingly popular, as cruises go to many romantic destinations including the Caribbean, Hawaii, Tahiti and Europe. The ceremony can be done at sea, conducted by the Captain - some ships even have wedding chapels. Couples can also choose to be married harbor-side, on board the ship in port, officiated by local clergy. Guests can attend the ceremony only, or stay for the cruise! Yet another option is ashore, in a romantic port of call (also officiated by local clergy).
