Norwegian's New Weddings At Sea

Norwegian Cruise Line has announced three new, customisable destination wedding experiences for guests wishing to celebrate their nuptials on one of Norwegian’s ships or in one of the line’s spectacular destinations. In partnership with Vancouver-based Royal Ocean Events, couples can have the wedding of a lifetime during their cruise, whether they choose to tie the knot overlooking the sparkling ocean, atop a majestic glacier in Alaska or under a canopy of palm trees on an exotic Caribbean beach

Ceremonies are available in a wide range of beautiful destinations in Canada, Mexico, Europe, the Caribbean and Bermuda. From a romantic, intimate ceremony in Santorini, Greece, to an elaborate portside affair with hundreds of guests, brides and grooms sailing with Norwegian can commemorate the most important day of their life as they’ve always imagined it.

With packages starting at $1,600, Royal Ocean Events offers everything that couples need for their perfect celebration. The happy couple can relax, as an experienced wedding coordinator will assist them every step of the way during the planning process and, once on board, they will enjoy their big day stress free, as Norwegian’s on-site wedding coordinators handle all of the day’s details.

All packages include an officiant or ship officer to perform the ceremony, on-site wedding coordinator, private ceremony location, ceremony vows, bride’s bouquet and groom’s boutonniere, prerecorded ceremony music, a bottle of sparkling wine, keepsake wedding certificate and wedding cake.

Royal Caribbean's Royal Wedding Experience!

The only ‘Royal’ cruise line - Royal Caribbean International - is celebrating the British royal wedding in its own special way by offering an exclusive Royal Wedding Experience, ideal for anyone looking for majestic treatment on their special day.

The Royal Wedding Experience offers an engaged couple the opportunity to have a truly regal wedding experience on any of Royal Caribbean’s 22 ships around the world. The experience is available for booking from now until the end of April 2011, and can be used on any itinerary through the end of 2012.

It allows the happy couple to enjoy a wide range of royal wedding treats, including a tiara for the bride, 12-rose hand-tied bouquets, special commemorative china with the couple’s chosen photos, strawberries and champagne, crown toasting flute with crown keepsake server set and, of course, dinner at the captain’s table. And all of this comes with a dedicated wedding planner, photographer, boutonniere, save-the-date announcements and wedding cake.

Additionally, the first couple to book the Royal Wedding Experience on the Independence of the Seas on the same day as William and Catherine – April 29 – will also take a celebratory walk through the ship with guests and crew waving union jacks, and receive a commemorative photo and Royal Wedding themed commemorative china featuring their own images.

The Royal Wedding Experience is priced at $2,904 to commemorate the date of William and Catherine’s wedding. For more information, visit www.royalcaribbean.co.uk/royalwedding.
