Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Angie, a travel agent that specializes in cruises.

The alternative is to have a symbolic ceremony on the cruise and then get married legally in your local community.

You can get married on the cruise ship in the port before you even leave dock.

Most of the time these weddings are going to be indoors.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Decide between a legal or symbolic ceremony based on your location and complexity.
Consider getting married on the ship before departure to invite non-sailing guests.
Be aware that most onboard ceremonies are indoors, not on deck.
Plan for potential itinerary changes if marrying in a port of call.
Use a travel agent to access group perks and customized packages.
