Romantic Cruises

Sail "the love boat" for the most romantic moments at sea.

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.”*

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

Reflect on the road you’ve traveled together in quiet moments and larger-than-life adventures. It’s easy at sea, when you have the time and space to focus on one another. Anniversaries are the most popular reason our guests sail, so we make sure they get their due, offering packages that add a festive touch. Better yet, renew your vows in a personalized ceremony on board.

Princess® perfect weddings (and more to love)

As The Love Boat®, we're all about romance. Come aboard for a wedding ceremony or vow renewal, performed by your ship’s captain! You can't beat the cost and convenience — we handle every detail for much less than land-based venues — or the views.

Embarking on adventure together

Pop the question with a Princess® Perfect Proposal package that makes sure it all goes without a hitch (except the one you want). Planning your honeymoon? The sea is the limit with more than 250 itineraries to 330 destinations.

See the options for your proposal and your honeymoon as well as other romance packages

The joy of the holidays

Sing “Auld Lang Syne” as balloons drop on a New Year’s sailing that kicks off the new year in style. Make this the best Valentine’s Day ever on “The Love Boat,” enjoying events and activities you won’t find anywhere else. When every day is like a holiday, special celebrations occur on an even grander scale.

Azamara's ships are limited to about 700 guests, meaning it won't be difficult to find secluded nooks for relaxing with your one and only.

The 10 best cruises for couples seeking romance and together time at sea

What could be more romantic than a couples' cruise?

You and your sweetheart can explore new destinations together by day, stroll arm in arm across the open decks as the sun sets over the ocean and then enjoy dinner, drinks and a show every evening. Couples can bond over onboard trivia wins or relax together in the ship's spa.

The best cruises for couples don't have to break the bank, but they should focus on adults more than families, and elevated food, service and accommodations are always appreciated.

When compiling our list of favorites, we recognized that couples have diverse interests and pinned our top picks to the standout features that set these lines apart.

For cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Based on those criteria, here are the 10 best cruises for couples, whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a fun vacation to enjoy together.

Celebrity Cruises: Best all-around cruise for couples

Celebrity Cruises tops our list of best cruises for couples because it's got something for everyone. Gen-X couples will dig the hip dining and drinking venues on the line's newest Edge-class ships.

Older couples should seek out the line's longer itineraries through the Panama Canal or to the South Pacific and Australia. Gay couples have long been fans of the line's signature Martini Bar, as well as its inclusive culture.

Celebrity's ships are big but not that big, and their top decks feature hot tubs, pool decks and resort-like lounge areas, rather than waterslides and roller coasters.

Couples who prefer not to be nickel-and-dimed on vacation can pay up front for the All Included package that covers drinks and Wi-Fi so they can focus on maximizing time with each other instead of worrying about the budget.

SeaDream Yacht Club: Best couples cruise for a yacht-like escape

Nearly everyone is partnered up on a SeaDream Yacht Club cruise; this isn't the line for taking your kids or your besties. That's because the line's two yacht-like ships and over-the-top all-inclusive service create the kind of pampered VIP experience that's prime for romance.

Enjoy most of your meals alfresco, sampling from the raw menu, or indulging in ship-made ice cream. Cuddle up with your lover on the top-deck Balinese beds, and lounge away a sea day.

Ditch the tour full of your shipmates, and spend an afternoon together kayaking or standup paddleboarding straight from the ship's water sports platform. Feed each other caviar as you sip Champagne on the beach at one of the line's Champagne and Caviar Splash parties.

The crew will cater to your every request, whether that's running into town to buy a case of your favorite beer to have on board or offering you every alternative imaginable if you don't want burgers at the barbecue. You won't have to worry about a thing – except how to spend the day with your favorite person.

Paul Gauguin Cruises: Best cruise for far-flung romance

Nothing says honeymoon or special anniversary more than a bucket-list trip to Tahiti. You'll definitely want to save a night or two to experience a swanky over-water bungalow at a Polynesian resort, but if you want to explore multiple destinations, a cruise is the best way to island hop.

Paul Gauguin is the cruise ship to book if you want a culturally immersive experience and a luxurious home away from home.

Commemorate a relationship milestone with a Polynesian blessing ceremony; then treat yourself to alfresco massages on one of the private islands the ship visits.

Learn to scuba dive or explore the gorgeous Polynesian reefs together if you're already certified. Give your special someone a kiss, and take a selfie as you enjoy breathtaking sailaways from the lush green islands on your itinerary. It'll be a shared vacation to remember.

Virgin Voyages: Best cruise for young couples

If you're not the type of couple who wants to gaze longingly into each other's eyes but would rather live it up or get a bit naughty, Virgin Voyages is the best cruise choice for you.

On board the line's trendsetting ships, you can drop the work-week formality and let loose. Get matching tattoos at the onboard ink shop, or wear your sexiest red outfit to party on deck like a rockstar.

Every night is date night on Virgin's ships, where every restaurant is included and you can dine on Mexican, Korean, Italian, Mediterranean and Japanese cuisine throughout your sailing. Get in the mood with a burlesque-style performance, a sassy game show or a dance-off in the nightclub. Shake your phone to order Champagne, perhaps to your cabin balcony where you can laze in a hammock and watch the world sail by.

Holland America: Best cruise for retired couples

Retired couples aren't restricted by limited vacation time and can take those multi-week cruises to far-off destinations. Holland America is the cruise line you want if a week at sea is simply not enough.

Try a four-week cruise to all of Alaska's ports or a 35-night exploration of Northern Europe. Are you a couple that hates flying? You can cruise Holland America ships from U.S. ports to Africa and South America if you don't mind spending more than a month sailing. Or hop on a plane to visit Australia, Asia or the South Pacific islands on your next cruise.

On board, trade tastes with your sweetie from dishes created by the line's Culinary Council celebrity chefs. Then dance the night away at B.B. King's Blues Club. Fill your sea days with some R&R at the Greenhouse Spa, port-to-table cooking demos or photo lessons that you can put to use in the next port of call.

Oceania Cruises: Best cruise for foodie couples

The way to your partner's heart might be through their stomach. If so, the two of you will want to book an Oceania cruise for your next romantic escape. The upscale cruise line partners with Jacques Pepin to create menus for its numerous complimentary dining venues, including Jacques' eponymous French restaurant, an authentic Italian venue inspired by recipes from the line's Italian crew members, a classic steakhouse and a contemporary pan-Asian eatery.

Plus, if the two of you are true foodies, you'll want to splurge on intimate wine- and Champagne-paired dinners at La Reserve by Wine Spectator (in partnership with Moet & Chandon). On port days, get to know the local food culture with a Culinary Discovery Tour; on sea days, team up to put your chef skills to work at a Culinary Center class.

Add in a beautiful pool deck and spa, heavenly in-room beds and port-intensive itineraries around the world, and your vacation will be "chef's kiss."

Regent Seven Seas Cruises: Best cruise for over-the-top luxury

For a special anniversary, or perhaps a honeymoon, you want to treat your loved one to the best of the best. If you're looking for over-the-top luxury, look no further than Regent Seven Seas Cruises . The most all-inclusive of all the cruise lines, it's the best cruise choice for couples who want nothing but the most refined, upscale experience.

Spacious cabins are all suites, which offer both sleeping and sitting areas. Book one of the line's top suites (such as the enormous and lavish Regent Suite ) when you want to host cocktail parties in your onboard accommodations or pretend the hundreds of other guests on board don't exist. Order room service when you two lovers simply can't bear to disentangle yourselves from the top-quality bed sheets.

If you do manage to abandon your suite, you can enjoy a quiet tete-a-tete over complimentary drinks at numerous bars around the ship. Meals are high quality in both the larger and reservation-only venues, and service is second to none, even with gratuities covered by your cruise fare. Plus, you can make memories during included shore excursions in every port; choose from guided tours, winery visits and active excursions.

UnCruise Adventures: Best small-ship cruise for active couples

Is your idea of a perfect date a long bike ride with your sweetheart or a hike up a nearby mountain? If so, choose an expedition cruise for your ideal getaway. UnCruise Adventures is the best cruise for couples who prefer to be active rather than sit around and watch the waves.

Small 22- to 86-passenger ships take active travelers to Alaska, Hawaii and Central America destinations, where kayaking, hiking, snorkeling, paddleboarding and hiking are daily activities. You'll learn about the local culture in the places you visit and explore off-the-beaten-path destinations you'd never see on a mega-ship.

But it's not all rough and rugged. Indulge in meals made on board with locally sourced ingredients, and toast your significant other with a cocktail or glass of wine (all included in your cruise fare). Rest your weary legs in the on-deck hot tub. Cabins aren't fancy, but you're not on board to spend lots of time in your room. Lace up those boots, and go greet the great outdoors, hand in hand.

Silversea Cruises: Best luxury cruise for adventurous couples

What if the two of you want that adventure trip but still wish to be pampered in luxury on the ship? Then you need to turn to Silversea Cruises , which has made a name for itself pairing extreme destinations with extreme indulgence on board.

The line's expedition ships literally travel to the ends of the Earth, with seasonal Arctic and Antarctic cruises. Silversea has a ship dedicated to sailing the Galapagos Islands while other vessels explore more remote locales in Australia, the South Pacific and Africa.

These hardy vessels feature reinforced hulls to handle icy waters and a fleet of onboard Zodiacs, but they also bring all the creature comforts a lovestruck couple could want.

All cabins are well-appointed and come with butler service, luxury bath products, flat-screen TVs and pillow menus. World-class spas and gourmet dining add glamour to the glitz of icy Antarctic vistas. Inclusive fares mean you never have to take out your wallet to buy a drink for your adventurous date or to take her on tour to meet a few penguins.

Viking: Best cruise for enrichment and culture

Couples who share a love of learning will find the perfect home-away-from-home on a Viking cruise ship. The line prides itself on offering more of an intellectual experience than your average cruise.

Pre-cruise, Viking will give you a list of movies to watch and books to read to learn more about your cruise destination; you can discuss them with your plus-one on the way to your ship. On board, resident historians lecture about the important events that shaped the region in which you're traveling; some ships even offer planetariums. Ashore, included tours allow you to fully immerse yourself in each destination.

But it's not all academics. Viking thought long and hard about what makes an amazing cruise ship experience and created that ideal for you and your travel companion.

Well-thought-out cabins are spacious and comfortable with smart little touches like quiet-closing drawers and heated bathroom floors. Multiple included dining venues ensure that mealtime is never ho-hum; don't miss afternoon tea in the gorgeous Wintergarden. When the sun is out, enjoy a soak together in the aft infinity pool. No one will scold you if you whisper sweet nothings instead of discussing local politics.

The Most Romantic Cruises to Book Now

Planning your honeymoon or an anniversary trip? These are the most romantic cruises to take with your significant other.

If you asked me what the most romantic trip I could take with my fiancé would be, my answer would be simple: A trip he planned. For me, facilitating the logistics of our trips is what takes me out of the moment. And that's why I think cruises are inherently perfect for a romantic getaway : Everything is planned for you. The cruise line sets the itinerary for you, including the cities you'll visit, the excursions you'll partake in, and which days you'll spend relaxing by the pool. Plus, if you book an all-inclusive cruise , you won't even have to think about taking your wallet out.

One of the most intimate elements of travel is sharing a new experience with someone you love. And a cruise sails you right up to those new experiences, giving you the chance to see several exciting ports (why choose one place when you can visit several honeymoon destinations during one trip?). Not only that, the luxury of the vessel ups the romance factor, too. From private dining options to couples massages, there are endless opportunities for you and your partner to reconnect. Here are some romantic cruises for couples that suit every travel style.

Seven Seas Explorer , Regent Seven Seas Cruises

For the adventurous couple, Regent Seven Seas Cruises takes care of all the logistics — from round-trip business-class flights to unlimited shore excursions — so you can focus on soaking in the culture together. For an unconventional date night, the Seven Seas Explorer offers Gourmet Explorer Tours, during which you'll explore the food scene in a particular port and then make use of local ingredients in an onboard cooking class.

What Your Itinerary Might Look Like: Travel from Bangkok to Bali onboard the 738-passenger Seven Seas Explorer and enjoy cruising in the Gulf of Thailand, with stops in Singapore and the Thai island of Koh Samui.

Regatta , Oceania Cruises

Oceania Cruises prides itself on offering an elegant ambiance and the Regatta's custom design and nearly 1.6:1 crew-to-traveler ratio only enhance the luxury experience. The suites and veranda staterooms have original art, ocean views, and private terraces. For a romantic day on the ship, start at Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center and finish the evening with a wine tasting in Horizons, the Regatta 's observation lounge.

What Your Itinerary Might Look Like: The 694-guest Regatta's voyage from Auckland to Sydney takes you on a two-week tour of the best of New Zealand and Australia. Along the way, you'll stop in New Zealand's Bay of Islands and Otago Peninsula, where you can spot penguins and albatrosses.

Paul Gauguin , Paul Gauguin Cruises

The flagship vessel of Paul Gauguin Cruises feels exclusive and effortlessly luxurious. The 332-passenger ship only visits smaller ports that larger ships can't access and most of the rooms have private, oceanfront balconies. For couples looking for a new activity that will bring them closer and help build trust in their relationship, the Paul Gauguin offers PADI scuba diving programs and certification.

What Your Itinerary Might Look Like: Paul Gauguin Cruises offers a Tahiti and Society Islands seven-night cruise. It includes a day on the company's own private islet, Motu Mahana, and of course, a glamorous stop in Bora Bora.

Emerald Princess, Princess Cruises

The entertainment is endless on the Emerald Princess — from a casino to live theatre to night clubs — but few things beat spending the day with your significant other at the saltwater pools and swirling hot tubs. The ship can accommodate more than 3,000 passengers, but there are plenty of places to share an intimate moment with your partner. For a romantic high-point of your trip, try the Chef's Table Experience, an extravagant multi-course dinner created by the ship’s executive chef.

What Your Itinerary Might Look Like: Their 16-day Hawaiian Islands Cruise leaving from Seattle feels like a honeymoon, whether you have no plans for marriage or you're celebrating 20 years together. You'll get a grand tour of Hawaii, stopping at Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and the Big Island.

Viking Venus , Viking Ocean Cruises

This exclusive ship carries only 930 people, which means you'll barely have to share the floor-to-ceiling window views of the snow-capped Nordic mountains. It's an all-veranda ship, so every room is set for romance with a private balcony.

What Your Itinerary Might Look Like: For a romantic winter getaway, the Viking Venus sails in search of the northern lights , cruising the North Sea and Norwegian Sea from England to Norway. The seclusion you and your significant other will find sailing through waters few travelers get to explore is unprecedented. Your stops in Norway include cities north of the Arctic Circle such as Tromsø, home to the northernmost botanical garden in the world. And each Arctic night, you and your love are of course scouting for the aurora borealis.

American Queen , American Queen Voyages

The American Queen transports you back in time to the mid-19th century. The spacious decks are a picturesque spot to take in the river views together, and the staff exudes Southern hospitality and charm. The 417-passenger riverboat is ideal for couples who want to explore their own backyard rather than booking an international flight. Plus, their onboard jazz and blues concerts make for an extra-special evening.

What Your Itinerary Might Look Like: American Queen sails from New Orleans to Memphis. After two days in NOLA, you'll set sail on the Mississippi to visit several other cities along the river.

Zuiderdam , Holland America Line

For the artistic couple, Holland America Line takes great care to decorate their interiors with enviable art and antiques. On board this 1,964-passenger vessel, you'll find plenty of activities. If you're looking for a romantic cruise but can't leave the kids at home, Zuiderdam is a ship that caters to both adults and kids, with the Greenhouse Spa & Salon for you and your S.O., and Club Hal for the children.

What Your Itinerary Might Look Like: Find love in the Caribbean on Holland America Line's Panama Canal Sunfarer cruise. With stops in the Curaçao, Colombia, and Costa Rica, the cruise satisfies your craving for a romantic beach getaway, new cities, and a jungle adventure in one fell swoop.

Evrima , The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Christopher Cypert/Courtesy of Ritz-Carlton

With its six restaurants, six bars, and two pools on board — plus plenty of over-the-top hotel amenities — The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Evrima is basically an all-inclusive luxury resort at sea. Couples can look forward to sipping reserve-list wine while listening to live jazz; indulging in a deep-tissue massage; or relaxing by the infinity pool. All 149 suites have private terraces, giving you and your partner your own space to soak in the sights — whether you're cruising around the Mediterranean or sailing to Caribbean islands. Guests are assigned a personal concierge when they step on board, ensuring that every detail of their romantic getaway is planned to perfection.

What Your Itinerary Might Look Like:   Evrima offers five-, seven-, 10-, and 12-night voyages. A five-night voyage from Athens, for example, gives cruisers the chance to explore the ancient ruins of Ephesus, Turkey, before sailing to Santorini and Milos in Greece, where couples can take in spectacular views, explore historical sites, or hit the beach, before heading back to Athens.

Scarlet Lady , Virgin Voyages

Courtesy of Virgin Voyages

A screaming toddler can instantly kill the mood on a romantic cruise. This is where Virgin Voyages’ adults-only Scarlet Lady comes into play. With 11 eateries, 9 bars, and a two-story nightclub, the 2,750-passenger ship is geared toward couples who love to party as much as they like to sightsee. Most of the cabins have balconies with hammocks, and couples who opt for one of the RockStar suites will enjoy additional perks like priority boarding and access to a personal agent who handles all your day-to-day needs. Couples can indulge in alternative activities like getting inked at the onboard tattoo parlor or lying back on daybeds at the outdoor lounge The Dock to stargaze at sea.  What Your Itinerary Might Look Like: On the four-night Fire & Sunset Soirées cruise, the fun begins in Miami, before cruising down to Key West where you can explore by bike, catamaran, or kayak. The boat then stops at Virgin Voyages’ private beach club in Bimini, Bahamas, where cruisers can opt to relax by the pool or spot dolphins in the wild before the ship heads back to Miami.

AmaLucia , Adventures by Disney and AmaWaterways

For couples looking for a slow-paced epicurean adventure through Europe, a river cruise with Adventures by Disney and AmaWaterways could strike the perfect balance between fun-filled and tranquil. Gone are the days of river cruising being only for retirees. New itineraries are jam-packed with activities, from wine tastings and pub tours to exploring towns by bike. The 156-passenger AmaLucia is an ideal vessel for the experience, thanks to its twin-balcony staterooms, a fleet of complimentary bikes, and a sun-deck pool with a swim-up bar.

What Your Itinerary Might Look Like: On Adventures by Disney’s eight-day Rhine River Cruise , you’ll depart from Basel, Switzerland, and sail along the Rhine River while stopping in France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Activities might include a macaron-making class, a pub tour, or a visit to medieval wine caves. You’ll disembark in Amsterdam, where you and your significant other can continue exploring or fly home after a week of wining and dining.

Cheshire has all the ingredients that are essential for making your time a memorable one.

The picturesque countryside and quaint villages of Cheshire make it an ideal place for couples to find love. The area presents great opportunities for fine dining and accommodation, cozy restaurants and cafes, as well as exciting outdoor activities. Whether one is planning for a weekend getaway or a longer vacation, Cheshire has all the ingredients that are essential for making your time a memorable one.

Cozy retreats for couples Selecting the right accommodation is always important when planning a romantic break. In Cheshire alone, one is spoilt for choice, ranging from countryside cottages to boutique hotels. One such treasure is the Peckforton Castle, a medieval castle turned into a hotel where you and your partner can live like kings and queens amidst the serenity of the countryside. On the other hand, there is the Nunsmere Hall Hotel which is located in a wooded area and provides a serene environment with luxurious amenities. Either way, it is recommended that you book a hotel in Cheshire as early as possible in order to get the dates that you want.

Indulge in couples’ spa treatments For the couples who want to relax, Cheshire has a number of excellent spas for the body and soul. The Mottram Hall Spa is located in a Georgian country house and offers a number of treatments for couples. From the relaxing massages to invigorating facial treatments, every service is designed to help the client relax. Another great option is The Spa at Carden which is famous for its vast thermal suite and the private spa garden that is available. Here, you can spend a day pampering yourselves and your relationship, which will make you feel rejuvenated and more connected.

Scenic walks and picnics For couples who enjoy the beauty of nature, there are many opportunities to explore the natural landscapes of Cheshire. The Sandstone Trail, a 34-mile long-distance footpath, offers splendid views of the country side and is ideal for a stroll. For a more private experience, there is Tatton Park where one can have a picnic in the middle of beautiful gardens. The park is the perfect place for a romantic date as it is serene and has beautiful scenery that will help you escape the noise of the world.

Romantic dining experiences Eating out in Cheshire is a delightful experience that any couple would not want to miss. The use of local produce is a common theme in many restaurants, which offer genuine flavors of the local area. The Chester Grosvenor has a Michelin star restaurant known as the Simon Radley Restaurant where guests can enjoy a special dinner. If you are looking for a more laid back venue The Fishpool Inn in Delamere Forest is a delightful pub that serves excellent food and has a lovely ambiance.

Explore Cheshire’s historic sites There are many historical sites in Cheshire that can be visited and explored by the tourists. Chester is one of the best-preserved Roman cities in Britain with ancient walls, a beautiful cathedral and half-timbered Tudor houses. Strolling side by side along the cobblestone roads that have been around for centuries, one cannot help but be transported back in time.

Romantic river cruises The beauty of Cheshire can also be viewed from a river cruise along the River Dee. For a daytime or an evening cruise, the serene water and the beautiful views are sure to make the couple fall in love all over again. Most of the cruises are charter based so that the couples can have the cruise to themselves while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Visit Quaint villages What is a romantic trip without visiting the beautiful villages of Cheshire? The village of Tarporley with its picturesque streets and small shops is perfect for a pleasant day trip. Another beautiful area with a magnificent view is Alderley Edge which is famous for its legends and myths. Every village in Cheshire has its own character and therefore it is perfect for the couple to tour and find their favorite villages.

All in all, Cheshire is a true paradise for lovers that can provide everything starting with the most comfortable accommodation and ending with picturesque strolls and fascinating sightseeing. It matters not whether you are pampering yourself in a spa or strolling through a picturesque village, the memories made here will last a lifetime.
