Honeymoons are something special, a chance to make wonderful memories that you’ll look back on fondly for years to come. And a cruise holiday is an ideal choice, combining travel to some stunning locations with everything needed to ensure you feel totally spoilt. Whether you’re seeking a VIP luxury experience, an extraordinary adventure or perhaps something fun and family-friendly, we’ve got the best choices for you.
Celebrity Cruises
Choose for: an ultra-romantic getaway
Elegant and sophisticated, Celebrity Cruises are ideal if you’re seeking a more traditional luxury holiday. Welcomed on board with a glass of champagne, you can enjoy the views as the ship transports you to some spectacular destinations. The Caribbean is a classic choice for honeymooners, but there’s also a wide range of gorgeous Mediterranean and Scandinavian cruises. Or, for an utterly remarkable trip, the Galapagos cruise will leave you in awe.
For a special honeymoon treat, we’d recommend booking as a guest at The Retreat. As well as sumptuously spacious suite accommodation, where your own butler attends to your every need, you’ll also have access to their exclusive lounge, sundeck and private restaurant, as well as a whole range of other included perks.
For an added treat, Celebrity Cruises offer a range of Bon Voyage gifts (not available on the Galapagos cruises), including a selection from their wine and champagne menu, beautiful flower arrangements or a selection of gourmet treats.
Norwegian Cruise Line
Choose for: laid-back, schedule-free honeymooning
If the idea of sticking to a dining schedule while on your honeymoon cruise fills you with horror, then Norwegian Cruise Line’s Freestyle Dining is ideal. It’s regarded as the most flexible way to dine while at sea, with no fixed dining time, seating plan or location. From unique culinary experiences with their speciality dining to Beyond Buffets with Action Stations creating made-to-order favourites, you eat what you want when the mood takes you.
There’s a great variety of deals with Norwegian Cruise Line, from budget-friendly honeymoon options to first-class luxury at The Haven, with itineraries including incredible destinations, such as the Bahamas, Caribbean, Bermuda, Hawaii, Alaska and Europe. And, with Norwegian Cruise Line’s Romance Packages, you can really treat your loved one. Select from options such as in-cabin sparkling wine, canapes and breakfast in bed to romantic dinners and spa services.
Virgin Voyages
Choose for: the coolest celebrations at sea
If you want your honeymoon to be about dancing the night away to trending tunes with a champagne glass in hand and the best possible sunset backdrop, then Virgin Voyages is for you. This adult-only cruise line is about making every moment count. Alongside its innovative party vibe, Virgin Voyages also focuses on wellbeing, helping you look your best on your honeymoon. Check out their latest classes, such as sunrise yoga, outdoor boxing, meditation and HIIT workouts or visit the Redemption spa, a haven of tranquillity for you and your partner to re-energise.
Virgin Voyages mainly sails to the Caribbean and Mediterranean. Choose an itinerary that includes the Bahamas, and you’ll get the chance to call at their exclusive Beach Club at Bimini to experience their infamous DJ-led poolside festivities.
For a taste of the high-life on your honeymoon, opt for Virgin Voyages RockStar or Mega RocStar Quarters. As well as your own top-tier luxury accommodation, you’ll get access to Richard’s Rooftop, a lavish, members-only space for cocktails and tunes under the stars.
Royal Caribbean
Choose for: action-packed adventure and family-friendly fun
We know that some honeymooners seek out a more energetic edge to their holiday, or perhaps your children will be joining you on board, and you’re looking for the best way to keep them entertained. Royal Caribbean is a perfect choice. Geared toward the adventure, Royal Caribbean offer rock climbing, surfing and escape room antics on their ships. Robots mix your drinks at the Bionic Bar, while the award-winning Adventure Ocean®’s youth program will keep children of all ages entertained.
Book a cruise to the Bahamas with Royal Caribbean and enjoy the romantic luxuries of Perfect Day at CocoCay; white powder sand, private shoreside cabanas and an exclusive beach club with a private infinity pool.

When it’s time to wind down, Royal Caribbean has a wide variety of staterooms to suit every type of guest. Whether you’re a couple or travelling as a family, you can choose the space, amenities and level of luxury to meet your honeymoon wishes.
