What is included in a Princess Perfect Wedding at Sea?
With Princess Perfect Weddings at Sea, packages are tailored to your dreams, whether that includes a grand ceremony in The Piazza or exchanging vows out on deck surrounded by spectacular views across the waves. Choose an intimate occasion with those closest to you or a more lavish affair. The ship’s captain performs all weddings at sea, adding an extra level of splendour to the whole experience.
Or, if you prefer, you can say your vows on land in one of the stunning destinations on the cruise itinerary, with the ceremony conducted by a local officiant.
A dedicated wedding specialist is also included in Princess Perfect Wedding at Sea packages, working with you pre-cruise and onboard. They’ll make sure every wedding detail is flawlessly provided to your specific wishes, from the flowers and decorations to music and photography.
The cost of Princess Cruises’ Wedding at Sea does not include your cruise fare, so you will need to factor that into your budget. However, once on board, you’ll get to enjoy all the fantastic amenities that Princess Cruises’ ships offer.
From the first-class dining and entertainment, luxury spa facilities, exciting onboard activities and exceptional service, you’ll feel thoroughly spoiled throughout your holiday-turned-honeymoon as a newly married couple.
