Hapag-Lloyd's Honeymoon & Wedding Anniversary Specials

Weddings, honeymoons and anniversaries take on a special quality at sea, and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises have acknowledged that by introducing a special new honeymoon and wedding anniversary programme. 

The 500-guest Europa 2 (above) is now offering something very special to newlyweds and couples celebrating their milestone anniversary on board - the exclusive “Honeymoon Special." At no extra cost, it is designed to spoil couples and features a welcome bottle of champagne, flowers, a romantic dinner for two and on-board credit to the value of €300 (per couple), which can be used to purchase beverages and Spa treatments.

The lovers’ dinner, accompanied by the appropriate wines, will be served in the French-inspired Restaurant Tarragon. With seating for a maximum of 44 guests - and tables for two - it is the perfect setting for a romantic evening.

The honeymoon special applies to Europa 2 cruises booked no later than six months after the wedding ceremony, as well as for milestone wedding anniversaries, e.g. the 10th, 20^th, 25^th or 40^th, provided the holiday begins up to one month before or after the anniversary date.

Star Clippers Highlight Sail-Cruise Romance

Sail-cruising is a brand of the cruise world all its own, and there are a range of different experiences it can provide unlike any other kind of vessel. Foremost among is them is a genuinely romantic ambience to every voyage, and tall ship specialist Star Clippers has recently selected 10 of its most exciting, adventurous and romantic cruises to highlight for the 2014/15 season.

Each voyage highlights a different aspect of life on three of the world’s finest tall ships, from the great cultural sites of Europe to the most picturesque Croatian ports, the best beaches in the Caribbean and the most fashionable spots in the Balearics, plus the new Cuba destination.

Guests can choose between a 16-night transatlantic voyage or a three-day taster cruise; there are opportunities to learn yoga, attend lectures or simply relax on the sun-warmed teak decks, gazing up at a mass of billowing sails.

All voyages also include full board on the ship, entertainment and use of the watersports equipment on each vessel.

Highlights of the Top 10 include the new Balearics cruise, calling at anchorages only accessible to small ships, including the sleepy but beautiful islands of Formentera and lively Puerto Pollença on Mallorca; a 14-night Caribbean voyage calling at four ports in Venezuela (the coast of which is scattered with beautiful, unspoiled islands) and the Dutch ‘ABC’ islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, with some of the finest beaches on the planet; and Star Clipper’s "Treasure Islands" itinerary, sailing from St Maarten and with more stunning beaches.
