you cards for your voyage guests, White Star Bellmen to escort the Bride to the ceremonial room, priority check in and embarkation and disembarkation. You can also choose to renew your vows on Te Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria or Queen Mary 2, in ceremonies conducted by the Captain. It is sensible to pre- book as these ceremonies are popular with an average of 10 to 15 couples taking the package per voyage. With the re-registration of Celebrity’s ships in Malta, government regulations have changed to allow captains to perform legal marriages while the ships sail. Tese wedding ceremonies are performed under the Maltese flag to complement Celebrity’s existing vow renewal and in-port wedding offerings. Couples who want to be married by a Celebrity Cruises captain in international waters should allow for at least eight week’s land-based lead time for processing the legal documents. Troughout the year, Royal Caribbean organise around 1,000 weddings and vow renewal programmes, both on board and shoreside. For those who itch for something different, the Explorer Weddings programme offers more unusual experiences that combine a cruise with an exotic destination or themed ceremony. Customised experiences range from saying “I do” on ice skates, beside the FlowRider surf simulator or on the rock climbing wall, with the area closed off for the wedding party. Wedding co-ordinators can also arrange weddings or vow renewals at quirky shoreside locations. How about reaffirming your love on top of an Alaskan glacier, in a rainforest, a vineyard, or even while scuba diving?
