DIAL UP THE HONEYMOON ROMANCE AT PERFECT DAY AT COCOCAY

Published on February 10, 2020

After planning a wedding, sometimes the only thing you want on the itinerary for your honeymoon is plenty of rest and relaxation. That’s why romantic honeymoon cruises are the perfect way to celebrate your newly-wedded bliss, stress-free. All the planning is taken care of for you by the cruise line, which means you can focus your energy on disconnecting from reality and connecting with your special someone. If you’re looking for the ultimate island getaway for couples, choose an itinerary with a stop — or two — at Perfect Day at CocoCay, the newly-reimagined private destination by Royal Caribbean in The Bahamas. Read on to find out why this is the best Caribbean destination for newly-married couples, plus Perfect Day at CocoCay honeymoon tips to help you maximize your time ashore.

THERE’S SOMETHING FOR EVERY KIND OF COUPLE

As far as tropical escapes go, Perfect Day at CocoCay has it all — beautiful white sand beaches lapped by crystal clear turquoise waters. Private shoreside cabanas where you can enjoy frothy piña coladas or crisp sparkling wine delivered straight to your loungers. A luxurious beach club with a private infinity pool and floating cabanas that channel French Polynesia vibes. The Caribbean’s largest freshwater pool, where the party never stops. And even a waterpark brimming with white-knuckle slides and exciting rides that are perfect for couples with a taste for adrenaline. Whatever kind of honeymoon experience you’re craving, you’ll find the perfect mix of thrills and amazing ways to chill on this beautiful private island destination by Royal Caribbean.

SHAKE OFF WEDDING STRESS AT CHILL ISLAND ®

If you’re taking a romantic honeymoon cruise to Perfect Day at CocoCay, it helps to know which parts of the island you should definitely fit into the day’s itinerary —especially since there are so many things to see and do. Most couples make a beeline for Chill Island® when they arrive to kick back and soak up the sunshine. This serene stretch of beach along the island’s western coast is the go-to place for tranquil vibes and max relaxation. It’s where you’ll find sand that’s as soft and white as powdered sugar and clear blue waters dotted with colorful coral — plus a floating bar just offshore that’s perfect for cooling down with your favorite tropical drink. There are plenty of complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas available for use on a first-come first-serve basis. But, if you really want to dial up your day with your husband or wife, opt for a daybed or a private cabana at Breezy Bay. If you choose the latter, you’ll enjoy dedicated attendant service all day long, so you can keep the Coco Locos coming strong. You’ll also have your own little slice of paradise all to yourself, including unobstructed views of the calm Caribbean waters. What’s more, there’s a snorkel shack nearby where you can rent equipment and take your romantic beach day beneath the waves. This Perfect Day at CocoCay insiders tips covers the top things to do at Perfect Day at CocoCay, plus helpful pointers like what’s complimentary onshore, what hours each restaurant operates, and when to visit certain attractions around the island to avoid waiting in line.

GET YOUR FILL OF THRILLS AT THRILL WATERPARK

Some couples choose to spend their honeymoon resting and relaxing, but others like to keep the thrills going strong. If you and your partner are all about fast-paced fun and heart-pounding excitement, you’ll be happy to learn that Perfect Day at CocoCay is also one of the most adventurous honeymoon destinations in the Caribbean. It’s home to Daredevil’s Peak, the tallest waterslide in North America at 135 feet, the largest wave pool in the Caribbean, and two towers loaded with high-octane single- and multi-rider slides, including options you can challenge your special someone to — like twin 75-foot drop slides and double open-flume racers. You’ll find them all at Thrill Waterpark , just a few steps from the entrance to the island. Admission to the park is extra, but here’s a little-known honeymoon tip — book a cabana inside Thrill Waterpark and you’ll enjoy complimentary admission for up to eight guests — plus your own private space close to all the action with dedicated attendant service. Ordering food is easy, considering there’s a Snack Shack onsite at the water park, so you never have to leave the area.

JOIN THE PARTY AT OASIS LAGOON

You just got married — you should pencil in some time on your honeymoon to celebrate your recent nuptials! And you won’t find a better place to turn up than Oasis Lagoon — the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean and also the best party spot in the tropics. If you want to work on your golden honeymoon glow, claim any of the in-water loungers that run along the perimeter of the pool. Or lounge out on any of the lagoon’s three swim-up islands and coves — each is set up with in-water seating. In the afternoons, a DJ keeps the beats coming strong while a team of talented bartenders at the swim up bar hand over ice cold brews, sling tropical drinks, and whip up the island’s signature cocktail, the Coco Loco. Conga lines are known to start up spontaneously near the bar, and dancing is always a given. But while the party at Oasis Lagoon might be nonstop, you can still kick back and relax close by. Treat yourself and your partner in adventure to a private cabana near the lagoon, and escape to total zen whenever you’re craving a break from the action.

LIVE THE LUXE LIFE AT COCO BEACH CLUB

If there’s one honeymoon tip that should go without saying, it’s that you shouldn’t be afraid to do it up after your big day. This trip is all about you and your love, and that’s reason enough to go all out and make each moment truly unforgettable. If you’re looking to really dial up your honeymoon visit to Perfect Day at CocoCay, make sure you add the brand new Coco Beach Club — just steps away from Oasis Lagoon and South Beach — to your list. Coco Beach Club is an exclusive beachside oasis on the island’s north shore where every moment is elevated. Admission to the club includes premium amenities and access to an island-chic restaurant that serves up incredible global flavors, including steak and lobster. Not to mention an expansive infinity pool with wow-worthy views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea. You can even book spa treatments here, like a soothing couples’ massage. Want to take your honeymoon a step further? Turn the luxe factor all the way up and reserve one of the first Floating Cabanas in The Bahamas. Fitted with an overwater hammock that’s big enough for two, a private slide right into the ocean, comfortable loungers, a dining area, and lots of deck space, each floating cabana is spacious enough to accommodate up to eight guests — but if you just want to enjoy yours with your special someone, that’s totally fine, too. You’ll also receive cabana concierge service, so you can keep your slice of paradise stocked with your favorite bottle of celebratory bubbly and order bites from the beach club’s restaurant whenever you feel like snacking on something delicious.

Can you feel the wanderlust yet? Whatever your ideal honeymoon vibe, Perfect Day at CocoCay is all about delivering the best beach day ever to a wide range of visitors. So skip the honeymoon Pinterest boards and all the stress-inducing research that usually goes into planning a big couples’ trip. Romantic honeymoon cruises to Perfect Day at CocoCay check all the boxes — from endless ways to recharge and reconnect on pristine white sand beaches, to pulse-pumping thrills, an epic party scene and the most luxurious private island experience in the Caribbean at Coco Beach Club. The best part? You don’t have to worry about planning a single thing.

At 3:30 p.m. daily, the white-gloved waitstaff serves specially crafted tea that comes complete with delectable scones and finger sandwiches.

For an extra cost, you can add some enticing options too. Perhaps indulge in a world-class spa treatment, enjoy shore experiences, or take advantage of the drinks or wine packages if you’re both fond of a good toast. 

Holland America

South America, Alaska, New Zealand, Asia, Canada, Hawaii & Tahiti

Savor the journey and sail into a beautiful married life with Holland America Line. This cruise line may be smaller, but that just means you’ll enjoy more privacy and opportunities for quiet time together. Despite the relatively smaller capacity as compared to other cruises, the suites and staterooms come with refined amenities, generous storage space, and complimentary services. That includes perks like 24-hour in-room dining, fresh fruit, ice, and shoeshining.

Backed by a 150-year history of cruising experience, Holland America is a travel partner you can trust to explore new lands and meet new cultures as you embark on your post-nuptial adventure.

That makes it easy for your wedding guests to help cover your preferred honeymoon experiences, from spa services to shore excursion credits.

Azamara Cruises

Caribbean, Mediterranean, Panama Canal, South America

Azamara has smaller ships, but this cruise line goes above and beyond to offer big experiences. One of the best perks of boarding an Azamara cruise is the opportunity to explore more unique destinations. While it offers the usual cruises like the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, there are destinations throughout Europe as well as Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, and New Zealand.

On Azamara, you’ll be traveling with a smaller group, which brings a better chance to spark authentic connections with like-minded passengers, making for a more memorable experience. Another advantage of this cruise line is the opportunity to explore at a more laid-back pace. Experiencing new lands is emphasized with more time in port so that you can immerse yourselves in rich cultures while enjoying incredible scenery. If you and your loved one want to do more at every stop, this is one of the best honeymoon cruises to consider.

Exclusive shore adventures and programs are offered by Azamara too, and are led by locals for more insightful experience. Of course, the ships won’t let you down either. All four offer world-class entertainment and dining options. When you’re in the mood for pampering, spa experiences are available too. Want to mingle with your fellow honeymooners? Join the White Night, an al fresco event hosted on a beautiful pool deck.

If you’re looking for more, packages are available that include unlimited Wi-Fi, shore excursion credits, and specialty dining.

Royal Caribbean International

Caribbean, Alaska, Greek Isles

Award-winning ships from one of the most reputable cruise companies are all equipped and ready to take you to the most beautiful spots on the planet.

Whether you want to dive into the azure waters of the Bahamas or discover breathtaking blue-tinged glaciers in Alaska, this cruise line is likely to have the perfect option for you.

Royal Caribbean International offers family-friendly trips which means if you prefer a more intimate honeymoon cruise, you might want to look at other alternatives. However, if you don’t mind the lively atmosphere, you’re in for an unforgettable trip. This cruise line also offers incredible value as you’ll be able to dine at excellent eateries and watch Broadway-level entertainment onboard too. If you want a more all-inclusive experience, beverage packages are available while an internet package will help you stay connected, even at sea.

When booking with this cruise line you can also take advantage of My Royal Cruise which allows you to manage your trip more efficiently. Book in advance and score significant savings while enjoying that priceless peace of mind.

Silversea Cruises

Mediterranean, Arctic & Greenland, Antarctica, Galapagos Islands

Silversea stands out with over 900 destinations and a nearly 1:1 guest-to-staff ratio. If you want to explore more, all while getting the rest and service you deserve after all the stressful wedding preparations, this line is one of the top to consider for honeymoon cruises. 

The superlative service starts as soon as you leave home. You can choose from either the door-to-door all-inclusive fare or the port-to-port one for a guaranteed hassle-free experience. Cruising on Silversea’s small luxury ships means that you’ll have an ocean view suite, most of which come with private verandas for enjoying secluded views. The suites even come with butler service to ensure the ultimate experience. Look forward to rewarding yourselves with gastronomic treats, unwinding at spacious lounges, and enjoying romantic moments at intimate bars.  

On land, Silversea offers fantastic excursions, which can be customized for a more personal experience. However, if you prefer to embark on an adventure with fellow guests, you’re more than welcome to do so.

Silversea Cruises is part of the Royal Caribbean Group and is considered its “jewel in the crown.” It also takes pride in innovative ships which are some of the most comfortable and spacious you’ll ever find at sea.

Princess Cruises

Caribbean, Europe, Canada & New England, California & Pacific Coast

For your honeymoon, a romantic experience that you can fondly reflect on long into the future is a must. Princess Cruises is here to offer that perfect setting. Named “Best Cruise Line for Romance” by US News & World Report and Cruise Critic s, among others, it’s virtually guaranteed to have lots of enticing offerings for newlyweds like you.

Apart from decadent accommodations aboard sophisticated ships, Princess has varied entertainment options like movies under the stars and street performer-like shows in its own piazza. Indulgent massages can be enjoyed at The Sanctuary too. It’s important to note that this isn’t an adults-only cruise, but there are child-free spaces with tranquil atmospheres, including The Sanctuary.

You’ll have many things to do after disembarking the ship too, including tours partnered with Discovery, immersive experiences with fellow passengers, and local excursions led by local experts. As Princess is partnered with Animal Planet, shore excursions are available that allow you to get close and personal with friendly animals in your chosen destination.

If you prefer to explore land destinations on your own, private vehicles with drivers are available. They can be hired on a half or full-day basis, providing opportunities for private excursions.

Windstar Cruises

Costa Rica & Panama Canal, Caribbean, Asia

While people might say that the journey is better than the destination, Windstar allows you to enjoy both. With its intimate environment and all-inclusive fares, it offers a more personalized ambiance along with unlimited beer, wine, cocktails, and Wi-Fi connectivity while on board. Note: If you don’t want to pre-purchase those features, a cruise-only package is available.

As Windstar ships can access areas that larger counterparts can’t reach, you’ll enjoy more port-intensive experiences at every stop. Unlike many cruises, this cruise line provides a more in-depth look at the places visited. Perhaps go beyond the ordinary and book some immersive excursions too, such as shopping local markets with the cruise’s chef, scenic drives through the countryside, and wine tasting.

But the good news doesn’t end there. Windstar also has romance-centric offerings designed especially for couples. That includes two main packages, one of which features a vow exchange ceremony. The standard offerings include perks like welcome gifts (flowers, chocolate delights, and champagne), dinner under the stars, champagne breakfast in bed, and a photo op that serves as a unique souvenir.

Hurtigruten Cruises

Norway, Arctic, Antarctic

Hurtigruten offers some of the best cruises for couples who want to explore the timeless beauty of the mountains, fjords, and abundant wildlife in Norway. A honeymoon cruise during the auroral season from late September through March also brings the chance to kick off married life with a bucket-list experience: watching the dreamy Northern Lights.

Couples who want to learn more about the places and wildlife experienced on a Hurtigruten cruise can also take advantage of the science and education program.

You and your significant other are sure to enjoy an epic adventure on Hurtigruten’s expedition cruise, with modern amenities and friendly staff onboard while visiting iconic landmarks and destinations. You’ll have the chance to expand your horizons by venturing into more remote communities and discovering hidden gems too. The guides are made up of a team of experts passionate about sharing information and real-life stories that make for an especially memorable expedition. 

The strong commitment to sustainability Hurtigruten is known for is a wonderful bonus – you’ll enjoy your honeymoon on a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly ship.

Viking River Cruises

Europe, Asia, Egypt, Mississippi, The Americas & Caribbean

Viking River Cruises is a premier small-ship cruise line that offers romantic and culturally rewarding experiences. The fleet, including Viking longships, features decadent staterooms and destination-focused dining options. While admiring beautiful riverscapes and cruising storied waterways, you can indulge in meals that typically showcase the region’s highest-quality ingredients. 

When it comes to entertainment options, Viking has a long list of movies available for your viewing pleasure. Additionally, you can learn more about your chosen destination through informative lectures. While you’re assured an outstanding experience onboard, it’s also possible to take a deep dive into exciting cultures on shore.

Perfect for culture buffs, Viking has teamed up with various partners like the Royal Academy of Arts and the Metropolitan Opera that allow you and your loved one to go beyond the usual.

While Viking is best known for its river vessels and itineraries, it also offers expedition and ocean cruises that allow you to sail everywhere from the Mediterranean and the Panama Canal to Antarctica.

Think modern features meet exceptional comfort when booking a Crystal Cruises honeymoon. The well-curated and impeccably designed accommodations ensure a relaxed setting for savoring time with the one you love.

This cruise line’s unique culinary journey with both traditional and award-winning fusion dishes is a definite highlight.

Research various cruise lines, itineraries, and ships to find one that matches your interests, preferences, and budget. Consider factors like the destinations, cruise duration, onboard amenities, cabin types, and activities offered.

Cruises can fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons. Booking early ensures you have a better chance of securing your preferred cabin type and location at a potentially lower price.

Check Visa and Passport Requirements

If your cruise involves international ports of call, ensure that you have valid passports and any necessary visas for all destinations. Keep in mind that some countries require a visa even for a short stopover.

Research the Ports of Call

Familiarize yourself with the ports of call on your itinerary. Look into the attractions, excursions, and local customs for each destination to make the most of your time ashore.

Pack Smartly

Pack appropriate clothing for both onboard and onshore activities. Don’t forget essential items like sunscreen, medication, travel documents, and any necessary adapters for electrical outlets.

Purchase Travel Insurance

Cruise trips involve a substantial investment, so it’s wise to purchase comprehensive travel insurance to protect yourself from unforeseen events, including trip cancellations, medical emergencies, and lost luggage.

Plan Excursions in Advance

Research and book shore excursions ahead of time to avoid missing out on popular activities. Booking through the cruise line is convenient, but you can often find independent operators offering similar experiences.

Budget for Extra Expenses

While many amenities are included in the cruise fare, be prepared for additional costs like gratuities, specialty dining, spa treatments, and alcoholic beverages.

Check Health Requirements

Verify whether or not the cruise line has any vaccination or health requirements to ensure you’re prepared to step aboard the ship.

Arrive at the Departure Port Early

To avoid unnecessary stress, plan to arrive at the departure port a day before your cruise begins, especially if you’re traveling from a distance. This ensures you won’t miss the ship due to potential travel delays.

Stay Informed

Stay informed about any updates or changes related to your cruise. Check the cruise line’s website or sign up for alerts to receive relevant information.

Honeymoon Cruises FAQs

Why go on a cruise for your honeymoon.

Ideal for couples seeking a stress-free escape, cruises offer a fabulous blend of fun, play, relaxation, and romance. Especially when booking honeymoon cruise packages all-inclusive, you’ll be able to access different activities and facilities all bundled into one price. This allows you to focus on making the most of your vacation without constantly having to pull out your wallet.

When’s the cheapest month to go on a honeymoon cruise?

The cheapest month to go on a honeymoon cruise varies from one destination to another, with the low season being the least expensive. In the Caribbean, that’s generally from May through November, but you’ll want to be aware of the risk of hurricanes and tropical storms which peak between August and October.

The off-season for a European or an Alaskan cruise is typically considered November through March, although river cruises visiting Europe’s popular Christmas markets around the holidays incur high season rates.

The industry also has what’s referred to as “repositioning cruises,” with the ships moving from one location to another between seasons. During this time, usually during the spring and fall, you might be able to score honeymoon cruises at a more budget-friendly cost.

What should I consider when choosing a cruise?

When looking for the best cruising experience for your honeymoon, it’s important to consider several factors. That includes your budget, the destinations, onboard amenities, dining options, and available shore activities. Be sure to research honeymoon cruise packages that suit your preferences and compare each to determine which will provide the best value and overall experience.

January 14, 2023 // By 10Best Editors

By 10Best Editors January 14, 2023

A relaxing cruise may be just the thing you need after all the stress of wedding planning. Whether you're looking for a luxurious room aboard a stately ship, adventure-filled expeditions led by scientists or something in between, there's a cruise line on this list that will perfectly match your honeymoon desires.

10Best invited a panel of cruise and travel experts to partner with our editorial team to select 20 cruise lines offering the best cruises for honeymooners, then readers voted for their 10 favorites. These are the 10 best honeymoon cruises for 2023.

No. 10: Alaskan Dream Cruises

Headquartered in Sitka, Alaskan Dream Cruises got their start in whale watching tours before expanding into overnight cruising along the waterways of Alaska. Their all-inclusive expedition itineraries combine excursions to Native towns and villages with explorations of raw wilderness bays and glacial fjords. The casual, cozy fleet includes six small ships, accommodating as few as 10 passengers or as many as 84.

No. 9: Silversea Cruises

Silversea has long been a leader in all-inclusive luxury expedition sailing, offering passengers ocean-view suites, tasty culinary experiences and a level of service difficult to match. Silversea’s fleet of 10 luxury cruise ships accommodate a maximum of 540 guests on itineraries to more than 900 destinations on all seven continents.

For honeymooners, the smaller, all-suite Silver Dawn and Silver Moon ships with dedicated butler service might be the perfect way to celebrate beginning a life together. Both ships feature the Sea and Land Taste (SALT) program, an immersive culinary concept that offers destination-based gastronomic experiences.

No. 8: Windstar Cruises

With fewer than 350 guests per sailing, Windstar Cruises' all-suite motor yachts and classic sailing yachts promise personalized attention and no crowds for a relaxing honeymoon. These boutique ships can sail into small villages, off-the-beaten-path harbors and hidden coves, giving guests the opportunity to visit both major capitals and smaller ports. Add a Starstruck Romance Package to make your honeymoon extra special – dinner for two under the stars, Champagne breakfast in bed, a spa credit and more.

No. 7: Viking River Cruises

Viking offers luxury ocean cruises and adventurous expeditions, but its river cruises might be the perfect option for honeymooners. With multiple itineraries that explore Europe’s storied rivers, this fleet of Viking longships features a variety of staterooms and two-room suites with large verandas. In particular, the Explorer Suite on the Viking Sigrun is perfectly situated on the ship for couples seeking extra privacy, far away from other rooms. With its sweeping, 180-degree river views, newlyweds may never want to leave their room, especially with free in-suite breakfast. 

No. 6: Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Cruises offers itineraries that span the globe, from Thailand to Turkey. However, the Ultimate Southern Caribbean itinerary spells ultimate romance, especially when experienced from the seclusion of The Retreat aboard the Celebrity Edge. The Retreat includes next-level accommodations, a private restaurant and an exclusive lounge and sundeck. A team of attendants and a dedicated butler ensures newlyweds don't have to lift a finger to have fun. Guests of The Retreat enjoy a wealth of amenities, including all premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi, tips and an onboard credit to spend as they please.

No. 5: Holland America Line

Holland America Line offers guests enriching journeys in distinctively classic cruise style, connecting them to the most fascinating people, places and cultures on earth. For honeymooners, Holland America suggests its Mediterranean cruises. Couples can explore cityscapes, relax on sandy beaches or stroll through coastal villages. Spend the day on secluded Ionian isles on Greek cruises or explore Adriatic castles and palaces in Croatia.

More overnights are included at the beginning and end of the itinerary, so couples can spend an extra day in port and use the ship as home base. Consider indulging in a couple's package, with thoughtful touches, like matching bathrobes, a bouquet of fresh roses, a couple's massage and dessert in your stateroom.

No. 4: Quasar Expeditions

Quasar Expeditions' tailor-made honeymoon itineraries guarantee life-changing adventures on land and sea. Cruise the Galapagos Islands aboard Grace Kelly's honeymoon yacht, which accommodates 16 guests. Retrace the footsteps of Charles Darwin along the archipelago aboard The Evolution, which hosts 32 guests. Couples will enjoy personalized gourmet meals, rare wildlife encounters and guided adventures with world-class naturalists. Quasar Expeditions connects travelers to the history and culture of their destinations, with a focus on conservation and sustainability.

No. 3: Paul Gauguin Cruises

Accommodating 330 guests, the all-inclusive m/s Paul Gauguin is a small-ship-lover's dream. The m/s Paul Gauguin sails to ports throughout the South Pacific, taking guests to more intimate ports, inaccessible to larger cruise ships. The extensive shore excursion program introduces passengers to many facets of Tahitian culture.

Once on board, guests enjoy spacious suites and staterooms, three dining venues, a spa and fitness center, a piano bar, a pool and more. Honeymooners receive complimentary amenities, to include a celebratory bottle of Champagne and a special gathering, featuring a Polynesian blessing ceremony, hosted by the cruise director.

No. 2: SeaDream Yacht Club

There's no shortage of romance for newlyweds aboard SeaDream Yacht Club’s twin mega-yachts, SeaDream I and SeaDream II. With a 95-person crew and a maximum of 112 guests, each passenger receives personalized service.  Reserve the Honeymoon Bed, strewn with rose petals, at the top of the yacht and stargaze while sipping Champagne beneath the vast night sky.

Newlyweds have the opportunity to visit small ports around the world to create memories of a lifetime. Also included in every SeaDream experience is complimentary access to wave runners, Hobie cats, kayaks, snorkeling gear and other water sports equipment. 

No. 1: Variety Cruises

From Greece to West Africa and beyond, travelers on a Variety Cruises itinerary can discover Indigenous cultures, regional cuisine, ancient sites, remote villages and natural wonders that only small ships can reach. Environmentally conscious couples will appreciate Variety Cruises' emphasis on ecological sustainability and inclusiveness, with sails that are in-depth and community-driven, leaving a minimal footprint behind. 

With no more than 72 passengers, honeymooners aboard a Variety cruise enjoy more leisure time (and often overnights) at ports of call, personalized service, small-group excursions, swimming platforms and restaurants serving cuisine with a focus on local flavors and ingredients.

What Makes a Cruise Line Ideal for Couples?

Unique Shore Excursions Tailored for Couples

The best cruise lines arrange one-of-a-kind shore tours specifically for couples, allowing them to explore breathtaking vistas, partake in local cultures, and create unforgettable memories together. Imagine walking hand-in-hand through ancient ruins, sharing a traditional meal in a quaint coastal village, or even experiencing a thrilling adventure like zip-lining through rainforests together. These unique activities aren’t just trips on land; they’re shared narratives that’ll enrich your love story.

Romantic Onboard Amenities

Beyond the standard offerings, exceptional cruise lines provide amenities that turn up the romance dial. Consider options for private dinners under the stars , exclusive to honeymooners, where you can enjoy gourmet meals while surrounded by the ocean’s gentle breeze and the moon’s soft glow. Look for cruise lines offering couples’ spa treatments, allowing you and your partner to unwind and bask in relaxation together. Additionally, privacy is paramount; opt for ships offering private balcony suites, ensuring you can enjoy the vast sea’s beauty without interruption.

Romantic Packages

Many cruise lines offer romantic packages that take an ordinary trip and make it extraordinary. These could include surprises like roses and sparkling wine waiting in your room upon arrival, cabin breakfasts for a lazy, cozy morning together, or even romantic dinners at the captain’s table. Some packages also provide professional photo sessions, capturing your moments against the stunning backdrop of the sea or a picturesque port.

Intimate Settings

While huge cruise ships have their allure, smaller, more intimate ships often cater better to a romantic atmosphere. Fewer passengers mean more privacy and personalized attention. The ambiance tends to be quieter, and more relaxed, perfect for couples wanting to escape the bustle.

Adults-Only Options

For honeymooners seeking tranquility away from the pitter-patter of little feet, adults-only cruises or adults-only sections within a cruise ship can be ideal. These settings ensure that the onboard atmosphere stays serene and conducive to romantic connections. Some cruise lines, like Virgin Voyages, even offer an adults-only solarium for ultimate peace.

Enriching Activities for Two

Engaging in activities together can strengthen bonds. Select cruises offer classes like cooking, dancing , or wine-tasting, encouraging couples to learn and grow together. Whether it’s stargazing from the deck or attending a live show, shared experiences foster deeper connections.

Customized Experiences

The ability to customize is a luxury. From choosing your onboard luxuries to planning shore tours, having the option to tailor your experience means your honeymoon is uniquely yours, resonating with your personal love story.

Extended Stays and Overnights in Port Cities

Some cruise lines offer extended stays in ports, allowing couples to explore and experience destinations more deeply than a few hurried hours. Overnight stays offer a taste of the local nightlife and the opportunity for unexpected adventures.

All-Inclusive Luxury

For a worry-free voyage , all-inclusive cruises are perfect. They eliminate the hassle of additional costs, covering dining, beverages, and sometimes excursions, letting you focus on each other without worrying about expenses.

The Best Cruise Lines for Couples

For countless couples, setting out on a honeymoon cruise is more than just a vacation – it’s the first chapter of their forever love story.

How Do I Plan a Honeymoon Cruise?

Picking the perfect destination.

Your honeymoon is an extension of your love story, so the backdrop should be a place that sparks joy for both of you. Whether you’re sun-seekers longing for Caribbean warmth or adventurers yearning for Alaskan wilds, choose a locale that sings to your souls. This is the canvas on which you’ll paint your first memories as a married duo.

The Stateroom

Now, let’s talk about your seafaring home away from home: the stateroom . This isn’t just any room; it’s a love nest! Options range from cozy interiors to lavish suites with private balconies . Consider splurging a bit since you’ll be sharing intimate moments and creating cherished memories in this space. Imagine waking up to the sound of waves and the sight of endless horizons from the privacy of your balcony – pure bliss!

Make Reservations

As your departure date approaches, you’ll want to make reservations. From specialty restaurants to spa treatments, don’t leave things to chance. Book in advance to avoid the heartache of missed opportunities. Secure a table for two at that fancy onboard restaurant or ensure you have a spot for a couples massage. These shared experiences will only enrich your journey.

Enhance the Romance

Speaking of enriching your journey, remember to enhance the romance! Sure, the cruise itself is romantic, but adding little extras can amplify the love tenfold. Order breakfast in bed , schedule a surprise delivery of chocolate-covered strawberries, or even arrange for a vow renewal ceremony onboard. It’s these personal touches that transform great trips into unforgettable experiences.

Get the Perfect Picture

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so ensure you get the perfect picture. Whether it’s a selfie during golden hour or a professional photoshoot arranged by the cruise line, document your love . These photos will be a gateway back to this time of unbridled joy.

Explore the Ship

During your voyage, take time to explore the ship. Each cruise ship is a world unto itself, offering a plethora of activities and hidden corners to discover. From art galleries to dance floors, from climbing walls to quiet libraries, make the most of what’s on offer. After all, the ship is not just transportation; it’s part of the destination.

Packing Essentials

In the spirit of practicality, let’s touch on packing essentials for couples . Pack smart – bring attire for formal nights, swimsuits for the pool, and comfortable gear for excursions. But also remember the extras that escalate fun – think matching outfits or sexy ensembles that make your partner’s heart race.

In conclusion, planning your honeymoon cruise is undeniably about balancing logistics with romance. It’s crucial to consider your personal interests, the activities you both desire, and, of course, your budget. Yet, amidst all the planning, never lose sight of the heart of this journey: celebrating your union.

Choose a honeymoon experience that you’ll not just enjoy, but one you’ll remember for a lifetime . After all, this is more than a holiday; it’s the maiden voyage of your lifelong journey together. So, set your sights on the horizon, and embark on an adventure that mirrors the magnificence of your love.

Your Choice of Wedding Venues

Embarkation Day Wedding

If you’re welcoming guests to your wedding who won’t be sailing with you, the perfect place and time for your ceremony is before the cruise starts. You’ll begin your vacation with a wedding aboard the ship, and then set sail on an amazing honeymoon cruise!

Wedding At Sea

A ceremony at sea is the perfect way to celebrate your nuptials, with family and friends, during the cruise.

• At sea marriages are symbolic in nature and have no legal or binding effect. The symbolic ceremony is performed by an assigned shipboard officer or member of management.

Onboard Destination Wedding

If your wedding party is planning to sail along with you, holding your ceremony aboard the ship while at a port of call of your choice is a great option. You’ll find plenty of time to pamper yourself at the spa in the days before your wedding, and once the knot’s tied, the rest of your cruise is your honeymoon!

Destination Wedding

Say “I do” on an island! If this is your dream, a destination wedding is the choice for you! Picture the island breeze in your hair, the most amazing view as the backdrop for your photos and your friends and family around you to share the moment. We can make this happen!

Best Cruise Line For Romance

Cruise Critic

It could be exploring a faraway land or taking in a sunset from your balcony. Dancing the night away in a cozy lounge or enjoying an intimate meal and conversation in an elegant restaurant. Your favorite moment with your soulmate could be anything – or everything – when you choose the “Best Cruise Line for Romance.”*

*2016 Cruise Critic Editors’ Picks Awards

Romantic Cruise Destinations

Let a getaway get you closer. And come back more in love than ever… when you sail with Princess to the world’s most romantic locales.

The Caribbean: treasure your time together

Turquoise waters, swaying palms, secluded white-sand beaches: this is bliss. It’s no wonder the Caribbean is our top destination for weddings, honeymooners and couples just craving an escape. With over 30 island ports to choose from, the two of you can sightsee, snorkel, shop… or, yes, just lounge side-by-side. Because sometimes the most romantic thing you can do together is nothing at all.

The Mediterranean: timeless places, priceless moments

Where will you write the next chapters of your love story? Swimming Corfu’s sparkling waters; cozied up in a Venetian gondola; people-watching in a Paris café; biking the Tuscan hills; or strolling the streets of Rome? Let the destination experts take you to these enchanting settings. You two can take it from there. When you share the world with the one you love, you create memories to share forever.

Hawaii: Paradise found

It’s just the two of you – discovering a hidden waterfall, strolling a black-sand beach under a scarlet sunset, gazing up at a billion gleaming stars. You’re not dreaming. You’re in Maui or Kauai on a relaxing, romantic Princess vacation. Lose yourselves in the natural wonders of Hawaii and you’ll find the true meaning of Paradise: experiencing the perfect place with that special person.

Experiences to Share

Revel in your time together – try something new, explore somewhere extraordinary or simply relax and reconnect.

Entertainment you'll love

See how it takes two to tango in a ballroom dance class. Request the song you call yours from the live band. Test how well you know each other in the Marriage Match Game Show. Get on the Kiss Cam at the Love Boat Disco Deck Party. Learn how to say “I love you” in a different language. Opportunities to bond are everywhere.

A passion for great food

Apologies to Shakespeare, but food is the food of love. Imagine Valentine’s Day without chocolate, or a date without Champagne. Not here. Savor a romantic dinner for two at one of our specialty restaurants or on your private balcony. Sweeten the deal with a chocolate and wine tasting. Play, or rather, eat on!

Romantic escapades

Ride a horse-drawn carriage through Tuscan vineyards. Share a picnic lunch after visiting an active volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Surround yourself with beauty in bloom at the Butchart Gardens in Victoria. Rediscover your sense of wonder and why you fell in love in the first place on award-winning excursions.

Relax on the best cruise for couples

Leave the hustle and bustle behind in the  Lotus Spa® , your haven away from home. Indulge in a couples’ massage. Primp for formal night — or just a night out — with any of our special salon services. Make the most of days free of obligation, where the only item on your to-do list is enjoying spending time together.

Occasions to Celebrate

Relationship milestones are always worth commemorating, and here you’ll find them treated with the fanfare they deserve.

An Anniversary to remember

One of the best ways to round out wedding planning is by taking a once-in-a-lifetime trip with your partner after it's all said and done. If you enjoy perks with stays, then perhaps the best route to consider. especially when booking a resort, is to explore their romance and honeymoon packages.

Romantic getaways for couples that combine a variety of experiences—including meals, upgrades and excursions—are considered packages as it's about setting the overall tone of the trip. For example, some hotels will offer a wellness package for two where couples can easily indulge in organic spa treatments, daily wellness rituals, and turndown services. Another may have a honeymoon package deal where newlyweds will be treated to an exclusive, sunset dinner for two, as well as a bucket-list excursion locally. Here, we review the best honeymoon packages for couples, especially those who want the five-star treatment (and chilled champagne upon arrival).

In this article:

What to Look for When Booking a Honeymoon Package

Caribbean honeymoon packages, central america and mexico honeymoon packages, europe honeymoon packages, south pacific, australia and new zealand honeymoon packages, south and southeast asia honeymoon packages, usa honeymoon packages.

Given your honeymoon will be one of the most outstanding trips you'll take as a couple, refining the destination and respective hotels or operators may be a tough decision. According to The Knot's 2022 Honeymoon Study, one-third of all couples stay at premium hotels, while a quarter seeks all-inclusive options. One in five specifically select luxury, five-star properties to accommodate their dream getaway. (For many, the honeymoon is a once-in-a-lifetime splurge.)

To get the most from a given resort or destination, couples will look for romance deals or specific honeymoon packages custom-tailored by each resort. These packages cater to the overall intimate experience sought by couples. The property may provide complimentary spa massages, a romantic beach dinner for two, or a private sunset boat ride. Some tour operators may include a private helicopter ride or boat transfers as part of its comprehensive package experience.

What else should you look for when booking a honeymoon package? "Budget is usually one of the first concerns. There are options for most price ranges, however, you need to be realistic. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for," advise Reco advisors Mike K. and Curtis R. "Other items to consider are travel times as some locations can require overnight flights which can be stressful after a wedding. Most of all, it's about finding the right resort for your desires. Friends and family will provide suggestions, but their likes may be different than yours."

With this in mind, it really is up to you to decide what you want to get out of your honeymoon and, more specifically, what you want out of your honeymoon package. If all you want is to fly and flop somewhere tropical, you might like the Caribbean, the South Pacific or Indonesia. If you'd prefer a destination that marries gorgeous scenery with adrenaline-pumping activities, try New Zealand, Iceland or Australia. And for something a bit closer to home (which also means saving pennies!), consider a US-based honeymoon in Florida.

A short distance away from the East Coast of the US, it's no wonder Caribbean honeymoon packages are so high in demand. Between Aruba, Saint Lucia and Jamaica, it's a tough decision to select the ideal honeymoon package for you and your partner–they're all too good.

Aruba Honeymoon Packages

The sunny island nation just beyond the Hurricane Belt is home to a range of properties tailored to romance. Aruba honeymoon packages may include private picnics, boat rides, chef-led dinners, and unique amenities.

Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino : ​​The "Sand, Sea, You & Me" package from this centrally-located resort already comes with exclusive-level packaging. Couples will receive complimentary champagne and access to the Tradewinds Club, Marriott's adults-only tier that offers complimentary food and beverage, as well as other amenities on the top floor of the resort. This romance package also includes a sunset sail with De Palm Tours, a romantic dinner at Atardi, and a 90-minute photoshoot with professional Demian Gibbs Photography . To top off the honeymoon package, couples will also receive message-in-a-bottle kits for sentimental letter writing and keepsakes to share for decades to come.

Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino : The Hilton property is offering its Romance Package for two, which includes a welcome amenity, daily breakfasts for two, a couples spa treatment at the eforea spa, a sunset concierge dining experience, and to top it off: a 30-minute private photo shoot.

Divi & Tamarjin All Inclusives : Arguably the all-inclusive resort in Aruba, this wellness property has its own honeymoon package for couples wanting an extra special getaway. Along with the food and beverage options included in the room rates, this deal includes a bottle of chilled champagne, a unique take-home gift, a prime room choice, and a free night if you return to the property for your first anniversary.

Saint Lucia Honeymoon Packages

There's a reason why St. Lucia honeymoon packages are so high in demand. The destination is arguably one of the most romantic in the Caribbean with the dramatic and otherworldly peaks of the Pitons. Resorts on the island also custom tailor experiences around romance, making it a sultry destination of choice for couples.

Jade Mountain : There are honeymooners galore at Jade Mountain, but you likely won't see them. Here, most guests don't leave the rooms—or rather their palatial three-walled, open-concept suites that surround an enormous plunge pool, all of which overlook the Pitons. Luckily, room service is terrific and efficient. The Total Romance offer is a honeymoon package where luxury meets adventure. Expect guided volcano tours, scuba diving lessons, jungle biking, a half-day yacht trip and a Swedish massage.

St. Barths Honeymoon Packages

It's fact that among the Caribbean islands, St. Barths is reputable for being the default playground for celebrities and billionaires alike. Luxury accommodations are a given at this destination–and with service and delicious food to match.

Hotel Christopher St. Barths : Located on Pointe Milou, the Christopher Hotel offers a signature "seashell" spa treatment for couples to enjoy. Shells are filled with warm oil for massages as couples take in the beauty of their surroundings privately and outdoors.

Couples seeking R&R and fresh guac should seriously consider Mexico and Central America honeymoon packages. With gorgeous destinations dotting both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, not to mention culturally immersive experiences and splendid tourism attractions, there's so much for couples to easily access from the US.

Belize Honeymoon Packages

South of Mexico is this affordable, eco-friendly destination, brimming with lush jungle and Caribbean water. Belize honeymoon packages typically include a wide variety of amenities and value-adds, without the compromising price tag.

Alaia Belize Autograph Collection : Located on Ambergris Caye, this property offers its own, standalone all-inclusive package. This includes all meals, as well as unlimited beverages, use of the resort's kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, along with other complimentary activities. Couples can also enjoy discounts on spa and cabana rentals. Roundtrip transfers from the San Pedro Airstrip are also included.

The Belize Collection : With properties like Jaguar Reef Lodge and Sleeping Giant, the Belize Collection's portfolio is sprinkled throughout key regions of the country. Throughout the year, couples can take advantage of various offers or packages, including 10% off accommodations, as well as resort credits to be used for food and beverage options.

Xanadu Island Resort : Ambergris Caye is considered one of the most beautiful destinations in Belize and this package simply enhances the experience. Couples will receive a welcome drink upon arrival, as well as a welcome basket with local treats and wine. The experience also includes a romantic dinner for two al fresco, as well as a restaurant dinner on separate evening. Those looking for water activities will appreciate that this package comes with a half-day snorkeling excursion at Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley, as well as a private fishing and snorkeling trip that ends with the day's fresh catch enjoyed during a beach barbecue. A couple's massage will top off the experience. That's not all: round-trip flights from the international airport and transfers to Xanadu are included with this package.

Costa Rica Honeymoon Packages

One of the most biodiverse countries on Planet Earth is none other than the Land of Pura Vida. Adventure-seeking couples will find ease with Costa Rica honeymoon packages, which may couple a fun outdoorsy activity with a relaxing couples massage or yoga class.

La Paloma Lodge : This property is exactly what you dream about when envisioning a Costa Rican honeymoon—with some luxury thrown in for good measure. The lodge sits atop a cliff, perched above the Pacific Ocean in Drake Bay, where jungle-immersed rooms are fit with air-conditioners and stunning interiors, along with a large balcony, hammock and plenty of monkey sightings. Opt for the Romance package when booking your stay for a bottle of wine or sparkling wine, chocolates and flowers on arrival and a couples massage.

Botánika Osa Peninsula : Situated between Corcovado National Park and the Pacific Ocean's Golfo Dulce, Hilton's Curio Collection eco-resort, Botánika Osa Peninsula, is an incredible ocean and rainforest paradise for couples. Its romance package includes massages for two, daily breakfast, dinner for two, as well as chilled champagne. Plus, couples can enjoy late check-out.

Cancún Honeymoon Packages

Along the Riviera Maya is the shining resort region of Cancún, where you can find just about every type of all-inclusive resort under the sun. Couples who want the full honeymoon experience, however, may want to venture slightly beyond Cancún to areas like Playa del Carmen and Tulum for more privacy and natural beauty.

Banyan Tree Mayakoba : Discerning honeymooners know developments along the Riviera Maya are completely distinct from nearby Cancún. This includes the Banayn Tree in the luxury development of Mayakoba. The property offers a " Sense of Romance " package, including a couple's massage a dinner for two at the recommended Thai restaurant Saffron, an "intimate moment" arranged by the concierge (a popular choice among couples is the in-villa outdoor bath), sparkling wine upon arrival, and daily breakfast for two.

Secrets Impression Moxché Playa del Carmen : At Secrets Impression Moxché, couples can enjoy an uninterrupted Newlywed and Anniversary Package that includes the following: fresh fruit, sparkling wine, turndown services with a special touch, breakfast in bed, and 15% off all spa treatments if that's your priority.

Los Cabos Honeymoon Packages

The southernmost region of Mexico's Baja California peninsula, located along the Pacific Coast, is considered one of the top destinations for travel from the West Coast of the US. Residents who live in LA or Texas can easily reach Cabo in less than a few hours. However, venture just a bit further to lesser-known Todos Santos and you'll find even better romance offerings that feel a bit more private.

Rancho Pescadero : An adults-only property in Todos Santos centered on mindfulness and natural beauty, the Rancho Pescadero offers a "Joy of Living Well" package. (Enough said.) This deal takes a rest and relaxation approach, including a massage or treatment at the Botánica Spa, followed by a farm-to-table lunch for two at the restaurant on-site. There's also an apothecary component where couples can build their own bouquet or create their own essential oil blends.

Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort: Couples escaping to Cabo will appreciate the "Here's to the Honeymooners" package from this particular adults-only property. Newlyweds who book a stay of five or more nights will enjoy special decorations in their room upon arrival, as well as chilled sparkling wine. Early check-in and late check-out, as well as the possibility of room upgrades are also teased as part of the package. Plus, couples can repeat the experience with a free night stay on their first anniversary.

Imagine fields of provincial lavender, pure blue water against Cycladic Islands, and mounds of freshly-rolled pasta preluding an afternoon of boating along the Mediterranean. It's no surprise that couples adore an international getaway, especially when European honeymoon packages are involved.

France Honeymoon Packages

If you're looking for the Emily in Paris experience (sans the drama of the show), consider exploring France honeymoon packages along the French Riviera or the Normandy region. Considering the country is home to the world's finest gastronomy and wine, all you have to do is say "oui" to France.

Hôtel Plaza Athénée : Since 1913, the Hôtel Plaza Athénée has been the poster child for all things luxury and the epitome of Parisian chic. Here, rooms come dressed in rich silks, damask, rare woods and velvet—many with unparalleled views of the Eiffel Tower. Naturally, at a hotel so fine and in a city so well known for food, it's fitting that chef Alain Ducasse would oversee all of the hotel's food and beverage operations. The Romantic Offer package comes with a bottle of champagne and chocolates upon arrival, American breakfast for two, and access to the sauna and hammam in the Dior Spa.

Greece Honeymoon Packages

The white-washed walls and blue rooftops of Santorini and the otherworldly feeling of shipwrecked Zakynthos are just a few of the sightseeing opportunities for couples who want an Aegean getaway. Some Greece honeymoon packages are tailored to romance and aquatic adventure.

Abaton Island Resort & Spa : While most flock to the Cyclades when they head to Greece, why not stray from the crowd and visit the country's largest island instead? Abaton Island Resort & Spa is a quick 20-minute transfer from Crete's airport and its honeymoon suite—with a private pool, jacuzzi and sea views—is primed for a relaxing stay. Dinner and breakfast are included with the hotel's half-board option.

Andronis Feretti : The Andronis portfolio's unique package for its private yacht experience includes a half-day cruise around Santorini led by the captain of the boat and a crew member. Couples can enjoy refreshments and local wine, as well as other divine delicacies known to Greece. Lunch is served on board too. Plus, you'll head back to your suite after an enchanting day of sailing around the Aegean.

Iceland Honeymoon Packages

Drama is the word that comes to mind when considering Iceland honeymoon packages. Couples who dare to venture to the Nordic Island will be delighted by the landscape offerings across land, sea and sky. Naturally, an Icelandic experience should include a visit (or several) to a thermal spa, coupled with an outing to the Golden Circle. Pending priority, some iceland honeymoon packages may include a visit to the Tectonic Plates or involve a Northern Lights viewing experience.

The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland : The 62-suite hotel offers direct access to the Blue Lagoon, arguably one of the highest-visited tourist destinations in Iceland. Couples, however, will enjoy their own private section of the lagoon's healing thermal waters and access to its beloved clay masks. The "Romantic Getaway" package includes accommodations, welcome drinks, daily breakfast for two, welcome gifts, daily group yoga sessions, a four-course dinner at the Lava Restaraunt, and a seven-course tasting menu for two at the acclaimed Moss Restaurant. In addition, couples can choose between various treatments at the spa, while having unlimited access to the Retreat Spa, Retreat Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon–skincare amenities, included. Now how's that for an all-encompassing Iceland honeymoon package?

Italy Honeymoon Packages

Arguably one of the top global destinations for any form of romance (and carb consumption) is the Land of La Dolce Vita. While Italy honeymoon packages are a bit pricier than other international offerings, the country is known for its wellness amenities and focus on cultural exploration.

Preidlhof: The wellness resort in northern Italy has rejuvenation and romance on its radar with its very own Honeymoon & Wedding Anniversary Package. Couples can rest easy knowing Preidlhof is all-inclusive with fresh fare offered each day to guests. Package offerings include a specially-decorated suite upon arrival, welcome drinks, a designated "romance table" for dining, treatments for two at the spa, and one trip out to the local region in the resort's Fiat 500 for the true Italian experience.

Venturing far and Down Under, the South Pacific, Autralia and New Zealand are known for attracting adventurous honeymooners who dare to explore. The South Pacific contains some of the best honeymoon destinations, including Fiji and Tahiti. It's made up of clusters of intimate resorts, small peaceful villages and miles of quiet pristine beaches where honeymooners can post up in some seriously dreamy digs. The best time to travel to Fiji and French Polynesia is during the high season months of June to September, but New Zealand and Australia are best visited between December and March to catch the warm weather . Pending location, packages may include watersports or mountaintop excursions. Beauty is guaranteed no matter where you land.

Australia Honeymoon Packages

Head to the likes of Fiji or French Polynesia for overwater bungalows, or to New Zealand and Australia for a honeymoon immersed in nature. The following New Zealand and Australia honeymoon packages may spark multiple return visits.

Qualia : Known as one of the world's best resorts, you can't go wrong with a stay at Australia's qualia hotel. Sitting on 30 acres of native gardens, the hotel can be found on the northernmost tip of Hamilton Island and is the perfect base to explore the Great Barrier Reef. For your honeymoon, may we suggest the Heart Island Adventure package? This includes a four-night stay, a helicopter tour over the Great Barrier Reef and landing on Heart Island's helipad to spend some time snorkeling around the reef. Talk about a memory-maker.

Longitude 131˚ : For an all-inclusive honeymoon package that's as adventurous as it is scenic, opt for a stay at Longitude 131˚. Here, you can stay in one of the luxury tented domes or pavilion, each with bucket-list views of Australia's famed Uluru. Honeymooners should pick the Classic Uluru package for spa treatment credits and a guided walk to Uluru's base on top of your meals and drinks.

New Zealand Honeymoon Packages

Huka Lodge : After a luxury New Zealand honeymoon package? Look no further. Huka Lodge, nestled near the banks of the Waikato River in New Zealand's North Island, has just 20 guest suites (so you're bound to get some much-wanted privacy). The honeymoon package includes two nights, an hour-long couples spa treatment, flowers and chocolates on arrival, five-course evening meals in a private dining location as well as a full country breakfast.

Hapuku Lodge + Treehouses : Located above a deer farm in the South Island of New Zealand, Hapuku Lodge sits at the foot of the Kaikoura Seaward Mountain Range. A stay in one of its treehouses is such a unique honeymoon idea. Each treehouse has large windows that look across the canopy—best seen while relaxing in one of the deep-soak tubs. The honeymoon package includes three nights in one of the treehouses, a bottle of French champagne, organic chocolate, a three-course dinner each night (with a five-course, wine-paired dinner one night!) and a massage for each of the newlyweds. Sign us up.

Fiji Honeymoon Packages

Likuliku Lagoon Resort : No trip to Fiji is complete without a stay in one of its overwater bungalows (or as they say in Fiji, bures ). Likuliku Lagoon Resort's Celebration package is ideal for honeymoons as it includes an hour-long couples massage and a bottle of sparkling wine when you book a five-night stay. The room price includes all meals, bottled water and use of non-motorized water sports—but you'll likely spend most of your time here diving off your private deck into the crystalline waters, which are that dreamy!

Yasawa Island Resort & Spa : Located in the sunniest and driest part of Fiji, Yasawa Island Resort & Spa is the only resort on Yasawa Island—which means guests here have 10 private beaches all to themselves. The all-inclusive resort boasts just 18 luxury bure suites and the honeymoon bure is hidden at the end of a deserted white beach with a horizon pool. The price includes half-day trips to the famed Blue Lagoon Caves as well as guided snorkeling trips.

French Polynesia Honeymoon Packages

Bora Bora honeymoon packages are highly-desired with airline partners often partnering with resorts to help ease the burden of long-haul travel from the US.

Le Taha'a by Pearl Resorts : With the island of Taha'a on one side, Bora Bora on the other and crystal-clear Tahitian waters all around, a stay in one of this resort's overwater bungalows is the perfect romantic honeymoon spot. You can choose a half-board package here—we recommend the spa offer for daily breakfast and one traditional Taurumi Polynesian massage per person

There's so much to enjoy across Southeast Asia, especially for honeymooners seeking pristine beaches and culture. These regions provide the perfect combination of beauty, beaches and culture all in one romantic getaway. It's here that you'll find overwater bungalows galore (we're looking at you, Maldives). These bungalows are often perched above pristine waters, where honeymooners laze the day away on their daybed and take dips in the ocean via their private deck.

Maldives Honeymoon Packages

Thatched-roof, overwater bungalows with glass floors and utmost privacy are what most couples imagine when considering a Maldivian getaway. Most, however, walk away with far greater of an experience, especially if Maldives honeymoon packages are properly arranged well in advance.

Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island : To get to the Maldives, most couples from the US will have to experience a layover or two (often a prerequisite before landing at a fine destination worth visiting). Jumeirah is offering its dual-trip stopover package, which includes a two-night stay at the iconic Burj Al Arab in Dubai. Couples can get situated in the lap of luxury before flying to the Maldives, where they'll then enjoy four nights at the new Jumeirah property on Olhahali Island.

The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island : Arguably one of the most well-known properties in the region, the Conrad Maldives is located right along the South Ari Atoll. With 12 restaurants and bars, including the all-glass undersea restaurant Ithaa, as well as two spas, couples can find their ultimate honeymoon bliss. Specific packages for honeymooners are reserved, including private jet ski outings and more arranged by the concierge team. Inquire upon booking.

Huvafen Fushi Maldives : If you prefer your bungalow to come with its own private plunge pool, you're looking in the right place. At Huvafen Fushi Maldives, it feels as if it's just you, your new spouse and the fish (you'll see them via the glass floor in the Ocean Bungalow rooms). Honeymooners love the underwater spa, and a 60-minute treatment comes included in the resort's Romance package, which also includes a bottle of champagne and chocolate-dipped fruits on arrival, daily breakfast (and one floating breakfast), a private four-course candlelit dinner and complimentary snorkeling equipment.

Honeymooning stateside can be totally romantic. Be it a northern lights camp, a lush resort or a private island hotel, there are loads of options and vast lands to explore in the United States. Florida, a beach-lover's favorite, offers oceanside cottages that feel as if you've been transported to the South Pacific. And of course, there's Hawaii: a cluster of islands that's practically synonymous with jet-setting honeymoons—complete with fragrant floral leis, tropical mai tais, hula dancing, and some of the finest US honeymoon packages. Those who want more of an active, outdoorsy honeymoon should look north to Alaska for breathtakingly beautiful scenery. According to The Knot Honeymoon Study, approximately half of all couples in 2022 chose to honeymoon in the US. Considering the breadth of experiences and options available to newlyweds, it's a fair choice.

Alaska Honeymoon Packages

If the Northern Lights, wildlife sightings and fresh seafood are among your bucket-list items for the honeymoon, then an Alaska honeymoon package will serve you well.

Borealis Basecamp : Just 25 miles from Fairbanks, Alaska, Borealis Basecamp sits on 100 acres of boreal forest—but the real draw here is its clear-topped domes where honeymooners can watch the northern lights dance above them while snuggled up in bed. There are various autumn and winter packages available and, depending on which one you choose, activities such as an Alaskan dog sledding tour and meeting reindeer.

Stillpoint Lodge : At the foot of Kachemak Bay State Park, get lost in the remarkable Alaskan wilderness with a stay at Stillpoint Lodge. There are several packages to choose from here—we like the look of the Adventure package or the Nature & Nurture package for your honeymoon. Each package includes organic meals, one spa treatment per person and various activities like brown bear watching and guided eco-tours.

Florida Honeymoon Packages

The peninsula is home to some of the most luxe resorts in the US, which means Florida honeymoon packages offer romance and amenities.

The Faena Hotel Miami Beach : The five-star property with prime beach access in Miami oozes romance. The Faena's "Suite Dreams" package includes two complimentary treatments at the spa, daily breakfast for two at the Poolside Veranda, a $200 resort credit, butler service for only certain suite tiers, early check-in and late check-out, complimentary valet parking, a welcome amenity, and a complimentary rollaway bed or crib (in case a little one is involved). Oh–and did we mention the suites are, indeed, a dream?

Little Palm Island Resort & Spa : This honeymoon resort may be located in Little Torch Key, Florida, but it feels more like the South Pacific. Accessible only by boat or seaplane, this oasis is plopped on a 5.5-acre private reserve and allows no more than 60 guests at one time. Here, thatched-roof private bungalows come equipped with private verandas, outdoor showers and beds draped in gauzy butterfly netting—but they're void of phones and television. The Culinary Paradise package will delight foodies with its welcome bottle of champagne, daily breakfast, three-course lunch, four-course dinner and $100 spa credit per person, per day.

Hawaii Honeymoon Packages

Hawaii honeymoon packages are a must-consider for couples who want to indulge in all that the Aloha State has to offer. Between Maui's world-class resorts and Kauai's adventure offerings, there's no need to secure a visa when honeymooning in this domestic paradise.

The Westin Maui: Nestled right along a prime oceanfront area of Ka'anapali Beach, the resort's "Love Travels" package comes with accommodations in the renovated Hokupa'a luxury tower, which gives couples immediate access to the Lanai lounge. There, romance awaits with a private bar, plunge pool, daily breakfast and evening cocktails and demonstrations. The package also includes a signature couple's massage and dinner at the acclaimed restaurant Waicoco.

Koʻa Kea Resort on Poipu Beach : Poipu Beach is where the honeymooners flock for romance and gently lapping waves that crest on golden sand. Koʻa Kea's " Master of Moons " package is custom-tailored per couple as honeymoons have evolved into familymoons, bestiemoons and more. Booking include romantic experiences like candlelit dinners, sunset cruises, oceanfront massages at the spa, as well as horseback riding along the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail. Depending on the level of your package, you can also request a honeymoon photoshoot to document the gorgeous experience.

Las Vegas Honeymoon Packages

Foodies and nightlife-adoring couples who like variety will appreciate Las Vegas honeymoon packages. Consider the casinos and entertainment options as added amenities, though the F&B credits will especially do the trick.

The Venetian Resort: One of the higher-end properties in Sin City easily offers romance at every turn, especially with its views of Vegas, as well as its fine dining scene. Costco's package for suites , however, is one that should be seriously considered among couples who desire daily food and beverage credits, as well as complimentary parking.

Where to Honeymoon in 2023

If you're planning your honeymoon this year, these are our top destinations.

Federico Scotto / Getty Images

Not all honeymoon destinations are created equal—and every year, more destinations pop up (some timeless, some trendy) that we love to highlight for newlyweds in the process of planning their dream honeymoon vacation.

Earlier this year, we learned from honeymoon trend experts that bucket list, luxury, and once-in-a-lifetime trips are back in fashion (think safari vacations , adventure trips to far reaches of the world, and ultra-luxe wellness getaways). Experts report that, in 2023, couples want to book trips to places they've never been and have new experiences; they want to be trailblazers.

And while jetting to a far-flung destination seems like the key to having a bucket list honeymoon (don't worry; we've included plenty of those), keep in mind that there are lots of special places closer to home (like Arizona, or Rhode Island) that offer incredible accommodations, food, experiences, and scenery.

Below, find our 10 favorite honeymoon destinations for 2023.

U.S. Destinations

Rhode Island

In the summertime, Rhode Island is a veritable dream come true. Couples looking for a coastal New England honeymoon should consider this tiny state, which, despite its size, boasts some of the finest accommodations in the region, some of the freshest seafood, and pristine beaches ideal for romantic walks and days in the sun.

Stay at the Ocean House for a few nights, a New England icon on the shores of charming Watch Hill (fun fact: You can spot Taylor Swift's house from the croquet lawn). Recently reconstructed to preserve its beauty, this five-star hotel's sumptuous suites epitomize coast elegance.

Book several nights at the Weekapaug Inn , which sits on the shores of Quonochontaug Pond and the Atlantic Ocean. The Inn weds casual comforts with luxurious accommodations and feels like a home away from home, with everything you could possibly need or want at your fingertips.

While it may not come to mind as a top honeymoon spot—for U.S. travelers, Arizona isn't exactly far-flung or a beachy, tropical destination—this western state is actually the stuff of dreams for couples in search of an ideal wellness getaway. And the proximity to outdoor adventure is just as appealing.

Head to Sedona and book a suite for several days at Enchantment Resort , which is just as alluring as it sounds, nestled into the Red Rocks with epic views and even more epic wellness offerings at the on-site spa, Mii amo .

L'Auberge de Sedona should also be on the accommodations list; this luxury hotel boasts an array of accommodation styles, but we recommend booking a creekside cottage for ultimate privacy (there are spacious decks and woodburning fireplaces). In every direction you look, there is something exquisite to experience, whether it's the babbling creek or the stunning red rocks—and it's worth noting that the food is phenomenal.

Caribbean Destinations

Want to enjoy the tropical forest, relaxing beaches, incredible food, and fun nightlife? Consider a trip to Mexico’s Eastern coast for a visit to Tulum. The travel hotspot is an easy trip from the states and provides so many opportunities for a breadth of fun and rejuvenating experiences.

For honeymooners wanting a quiet and relaxing stay (and the opportunity to enjoy the nightlife with a quick taxi ride), consider booking a room at the romantic  Mi Amor Hotel & Spa . The boutique hotel is designed for couples with beautifully bohemian rooms complete with ocean views, plunge pools, and private balconies. From couples' spa experiences to private cabanas along the water exclusive to hotel guests, the destination is perfectly curated for newlyweds to get some TLC after wedding planning. The hotel also recently welcomed Chef José Luis Hinostroza, co-owner of the award-winning Tulum restaurant  Arca , as their executive chef to curate a delicious menu that combines Mexican classics with a contemporary twist.

Adventurous honeymooners should definitely make a trip to the Mayan Ruins of Tulum and take a guided adventure into the calm pools of the Cenote Caves. Other fun activities around the area include trying out the cuisine at the town’s incredible restaurants like  Hartwood , taking a salsa-making class at  La Zebra Hotel , and enjoying the party at beach clubs like  Gitano  and  Papaya Playa Project .

Turks and Caicos

With picture-perfect white sand beaches, bright blue waters, and that reliably beautiful Caribbean weather, Turks and Caicos is a timeless honeymoon destination that has something for every kind of honeymoon couple.

This year, though, we're particularly excited about the wellness offerings at Amanyara, a luxury all-inclusive resort perched on the edge of the island nation's largest island, Providenciales. While the central part of the island will be busy with tourists and locals, Amanyara sits on an 18,000-acre nature reserve right on the edge of the sea, which means that it's the ultimate intimate getaway. And while the property boasts an array of incredible experiences and amenities, its wellness offerings are what really set it apart. An on-site team of wellness specialists will help curate the perfect wellness journey for guests, essentially creating bespoke itineraries (think the usual offerings, like massage, pilates, and yoga, but also extensive and individualized treatments surrounding mindfulness and meditation, nutrition, and fitness).

The Loire Valley, France

Ever the wine lover's dream, France's Loire Valley is ideal for couples who want to spend days wandering through charming French towns and rolling vineyards while sipping some of the world's best vintages and soaking up everything this region has to offer.

Stay at Château Le Prieuré , a magnificent 10th-century castle turned hotel that offers guests terraces with 360-views of the Loire Valley, a wine cellar housing 25,000 bottles and an elegant bar, a 60-acre wood park, and a stand-out French restaurant on-site.

Lofoten Islands, Norway

The Lofoten Islands are one of those bucket-list destinations that feel perfect for a honeymoon. And whether you go in the summer and enjoy watercolor sunsets and epic hikes, or you choose to celebrate your love there in the winter, cozied up among the fjords after a ski day, this special corner of Norway won't disappoint—especially those interested in adventure travel.

If you go during the Northern Lights season, book a north-facing cottage at Lofoten Links (which, for the record, is a phenomenal golf course) for cozy accommodations and the best views of the elusive lights when they do come.

Located in the fishing village of Nusfjord in Lofoten, Nusfjord Arctic Resort is the perfect spot to call home during your summer or winter vacation, with cozy, modern cabins, an open-air sauna, and plenty of guided activities available to book.

If you, like us, watched the most recent season of White Lotus and have been dreaming of Sicily ever since then this Mediterranean paradise is the honeymoon spot for you in 2023. Just picture wandering through the winding streets of Taormina, motorbiking up steep roads for mountain-top views of the ocean, and candlelit, seaside meals under the Italian moonlight with your new spouse.

Book a suite at San Domenica Palace, Taormina, a Four Seasons Hotel where, of course, the series was actually filmed. The hotel sits high above the Ionian Sea, with sweeping views of the water, and an infinity pool to die for, and suites have their own plunge pools, terraces, and generally palatial furnishings.

Asian Destinations

Sri Lanka has become more and more popular as a luxury travel destination in recent years; the southeast Asian island nation, located off the tip of India, brings together an immense array of Asian cultures and history. From ancient temples to palm-lined beaches, Sri Lanka offers something for honeymooners in search of wellness, outdoor adventure, incredible cuisine, perfect beaches, and more.

Surrounded by a verdant jungle with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, ÀNI Sri Lanka (which is all-inclusive) is the place for honeymooners to book. With accommodations for up to only 30 people, this intimate, luxurious resort puts travelers at the center of what Sri Lanka has to offer, while giving couples anything they could possibly need (from top-tier wellness experiences to delicious local food and tailored excursions).

Udaipur, India 

It feels like love is in the air in Udaipur, known as the City of Lakes, a striking Indian destination dotted with grande palaces, serene bodies of water, and charming pebbled streets.

Book a stay at Taj Lake Palace, an iconic and stunning jewel of the region, floating in the middle of Lake Pichola. This marble palace is nothing short of ornate, and honeymooners can look forward to breathtaking views, exquisite cuisine, the Jiva Spa, and top-tier service from this five-star establishment.

African Destinations

Tanzania and Zanzibar

If a safari vacation is the stuff of your dreams, look to Tanzania this year for your safari honeymoon.  From the Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar to Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania is a prime spot to experience so much of this African region during the span of your trip.

If witnessing Tanzania's wildlife is at the top of your list, stay at Singita Sasakwa Lodge , a luxury icon in the area. The light, airy atmosphere is that of a bygone Edwardian area, but the amenities and accommodations are as modern and elegant as can be. You'll witness wildlife on the 350,000-acre Singita Grumeti Reserve in the Serengeti, thanks to the camp's panoramic views, and in the time between guided bush walks and safari excursions, guests can look forward to relaxing wellness experiences and tennis lessons, even.

We highly recommend reserving some time to hop over to Zanzibar, the semi-autonomous island just off the coast of Tanzania, for the ultimate seaside retreat before or after your safari experience. Matemwe Lodge is an ideal home base, offering sweeping views of the Indian Ocean, a famously relaxing atmosphere, chalets with private plunge pools, and plenty of on-site outdoor activities.

South American Destinations

The galápagos islands, ecuador.

Widely known as one of the most incredible bucket-list destinations in the world, the memories from a honeymoon in the Galápagos will last a lifetime. This unique South American destination , located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, is ideal for wildlife lovers and those who like to go off the beaten path. Diving, snorkeling, swimming, and hiking are just some of the exploratory activities couples can partake in here, and there are plenty of opportunities for sun-and-sand relaxation and, of course, luxury hotels and resorts ideal for a honeymoon.

Consider booking a cruise, if you'd like to call the ship home while you explore all the different islands over the course of your trip. Or you could cozy up in a luxury resort like Galapagos Safari Camp , which offers honeymooners stunning glamping accommodations and safari excursions to discover all that the destination has to offer. Pikaia Lodge , on Santa Cruz Island, is an especially unique experience, putting travelers in luxurious accommodations on the edge of an extinct volcanic crater. With sweeping views of the natural surroundings and its own giant tortoise natural preserve, this resort is perfect for those who really want to get away from it all and discover the incredible wildlife of the Galápagos.

It might feel overwhelming to narrow down your top honeymoon destination choices —we understand that the options feel endless. But when it comes down to it, this trip is ultimately about your love and starting your life together as newlyweds. Sit down and make a list of priorities (the types of experiences you want, the climate you'd like to visit, excursions that feel important to you), consider your budget and timeframe for travel, and pick a destination that checks all or most of the right boxes for you and your partner. No matter where you go—near or far—you'll be together, and that's what matters the most!
