Cruise Ship Wedding Specialists
Do your vows away — at sea.
Most couples don't know you can get married on a cruise ship. Your guests in cabins down the hall, the ocean as your backdrop, and a honeymoon that begins the moment you sail away.
We Plan Weddings Aboard
Most Disney brides have no idea a cruise wedding exists. Say I do aboard the Disney Magic, or on the white sand of Castaway Cay.

Imagine exchanging vows on the deck of a ship as the sun sets over the Caribbean. Your guests all in cabins just down the hall. A reception dinner with the entire ocean as your view — and a honeymoon that starts the moment you sail away.

A cruise ship wedding is one of the most unique and memorable ways to celebrate your love. Instead of a traditional venue, you exchange vows with the open ocean as your backdrop — surrounded by your closest family and friends, all staying in cabins just down the hall. BowsAway specializes exclusively in cruise ship weddings, meaning we know every cruise line's wedding program, pricing, and policies inside and out.
Yes — absolutely. Most major cruise lines offer formal wedding packages that allow couples to hold their ceremony either onboard the ship or at a private island port stop. Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, and Carnival all have dedicated wedding programs. Luxury lines like Regent Seven Seas, Silversea, and Seabourn offer intimate high-end ceremonies for couples seeking an ultra-premium experience.
Disney Cruise Line offers their famous Fairy Tale Weddings program at sea. Couples can choose to get married onboard the ship — on the deck, in a dedicated venue, or during a special ceremony — or they can say I do on Castaway Cay, Disney's private island in the Bahamas. This is one of the most sought-after and least-known wedding experiences available, perfect for Disney lovers who want magic without the theme park logistics or price tag.
Cruise ship wedding packages vary by cruise line, ship, and package tier. Most ceremony packages start around $3,000 to $5,000 and go up depending on the number of guests, the venue onboard, and additional services like flowers, photography, and reception dinners. The significant advantage of a cruise ship wedding is that your guests' accommodations, meals, and entertainment are all included in their cabin fare — making it one of the most affordable all-in-one destination wedding experiences available. And our planning service through BowsAway? Completely free to you.
