It should be noted that shipping companies are also aware that there are couples who opt for more exotic trips on their honeymoon, so it will not be difficult to find good options in places like Polynesia or the Caribbean . However, in these cases you should keep in mind that the same dates are not for April or May, because the season in these places usually changes.

For those who do not want to leave any details per program, the Honeymoon packagesare very, very interesting. Companies usually offer them with certain services, such as flowers, champagnes, romantic breakfasts in bed, special dinners, couples massages, special cabin decoration, a day at the spa, photography session on the decks and a long etcetera. The prices of these packages can vary greatly depending on the company, in addition, there are times that, if we think about it, it is worth investing that money in other activities such as excursions. However, a matter of taste, it is always a good option to inform and choose with all the information in front.

Be careful with the documentation

When traveling to hotels on a honeymoon, normally, the couple usually have some extra privileges. On a cruise the same thing happens. However, in most shipping companies they will ask for the marriage registration document to be able to access them, therefore, in addition to passports or identity documents, do not forget to put this paper in the suitcase.

I have been passionate about cruising for many years. My first cruise was a Royal Caribbean on Liberty of the Seas. Many others have followed since then, now also with our children. Cruiselines I traveled with entail Royal Caribbean, Costa Crociere, MSC, Mein Schiff (tui cruises) and Norwegian Cruise Line as well as a one-week river cruise from St. Petersburg to Vologda and back in Russia. Hope you enjoy this blog and get some practical hints! Feel free to leave any comments and contact me. Keep on cruising! Markus
