Sailings for Honeymoon Cruises — Special Offers & Deals
About Honeymoon Cruises
A honeymoon cruise hands you a complete romantic vacation in a single booking — multiple destinations, suite-style accommodations, fine dining, couple's spa treatments, and champagne in your stateroom on arrival. No transfers between hotels, no separate excursions to coordinate, no surprise bills at checkout. Just unpack once, watch the sunset from your private balcony, and let the ship handle the rest.
Most major cruise lines run dedicated honeymoon packages that bundle in welcome champagne, strawberries, a couple's spa credit, a complimentary specialty dinner, and a personalized stateroom decoration when you mark the booking as a honeymoon. Premium lines like Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, and Cunard are the gold standard for couples. Disney Cruise Line adds character-free adults-only spaces and adults-only dining. Virgin Voyages runs entirely adults-only — no kids onboard, period.
Honeymoon cruises run anywhere from 4 nights in the Caribbean for under $250* per person, to 10–14 night Mediterranean voyages for $2,500+*, to luxury Tahiti and South Pacific sailings at $5,000*–$10,000* per person. The Caribbean and Bahamas are the most-booked honeymoon destinations from US ports; Hawaii, the Mediterranean, and Tahiti dominate the bucket-list end.

Honeymoon Cruises FAQs
1. What is the best cruise line for a honeymoon?
For most US couples, Princess Cruises offers the strongest honeymoon package — champagne, canapés, breakfast in bed, and a complimentary specialty dinner. Celebrity Cruises wins on design and the adults-only Retreat suite enclave. Disney Cruise Line is the best fit for couples who love Disney, with adults-only restaurants and an adults-only pool deck. Virgin Voyages is entirely adults-only and ideal for honeymooners who want zero kids onboard.
2. How much does a honeymoon cruise cost?
A 7-night Caribbean honeymoon cruise for two in a balcony cabin runs $3,500*–$6,500* all-in (fare, taxes, gratuities, drinks, Wi-Fi, two excursions). Suite-class honeymoons on premium lines run $8,000*–$15,000*. Short 4-night Bahamas sailings can drop the total to $1,500*–$2,500* per couple.
3. What is the most romantic cruise destination for a honeymoon?
For first honeymoons: the Caribbean (year-round sun, private islands, short flights). For bucket-list trips: the Greek Isles, Tahiti and Bora Bora, and the Mediterranean. For US couples without passports: Hawaii sailings on Norwegian's Pride of America.
4. Can you get married on a cruise ship?
Yes — most major cruise lines offer wedding-at-sea or port-wedding packages, including officiant, photographer, flowers, cake, and reception. Princess, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and Disney all have dedicated wedding teams. Packages start around $1,500* and run up to $10,000+*. The captain of a Princess ship can legally marry you at sea — most other lines marry you in port.
5. Do cruise lines offer honeymoon packages?
Yes — every major line. Typical inclusions: welcome champagne and strawberries, breakfast in bed, a couple's specialty dinner, a couple's spa credit, and a "Just Married" stateroom decoration. Just flag the booking as a honeymoon at booking — most lines add basic perks at no charge, and you can upgrade to premium romance packages for $100*–$400*.
6. How long should a honeymoon cruise be?
7 nights is the sweet spot — long enough to truly unwind, short enough that you don't burn all your PTO. Newlyweds with limited time often pick 4-night Bahamas or 5-night Mexico sailings. Bucket-list couples go for 10–14 night Mediterranean or Tahiti trips.
7. Are there adults-only honeymoon cruises?
Yes. Virgin Voyages is entirely adults-only across its entire fleet. Viking Ocean Cruises restricts passengers to age 18+. On family-friendly lines, look for the adults-only enclaves: MSC Yacht Club, NCL Haven, Celebrity Retreat, Princess Sanctuary, and RCL Solarium offer kid-free spaces within larger ships.
8. Do I need a passport for a honeymoon cruise?
For closed-loop cruises that return to the same US port, US citizens can technically sail with a birth certificate and government photo ID. A passport is strongly recommended — required if you need to fly home from a foreign port. Important for newlyweds: book the cruise in the name on your current passport, not your married name, unless your passport already reflects the change. Mismatched names at boarding can mean a denied embarkation.
