DESTINATIONS WEDDINGS AT SEA | WEDDINGS & HONEYMOONS

MSC CRUISES Why: MSC offers some of the most affordable ceremonies on the market, with three packages to suit different budgets. All are symbolic and take place at sea. Clients need to bring a marriage certificate from an official shoreside ceremony. Where: Onboard venues include the futuristic, glass-walled Atrium on Seaside-class ships and the monochrome Sky Lounge on Meraviglia-class ships.
BEST OF THE REST
CUNARD: Offering weddings (at sea only) on all its ships, Cunard has a one wedding per day policy, meaning no sharing the limelight; prices start at $2,800.
NCL: Norwegian Cruise Line offers legal ceremonies at sea on Breakaway, Epic, Escape and Getaway ships, and harbourside ceremonies in Greece, Hawaii, Mexico, Honduras and the Caribbean; both packages start at $3,099. Symbolic at-sea ceremonies start at $2,059.
Disney: For those who want a touch of magic, suggest Disney Cruise Line. Venues range from the art-deco-style Atrium to private island Castaway Cay in the Bahamas, with optional Disney-themed music performed by a pianist or keyboardist. On-board packages start at $3,500.
