Choosing the right ship

The first step to planning the perfect honeymoon cruise is to choose the right cruise line and ship. For your honeymoon, Princess Cruise caters to newlyweds and is committed to helping you create a romantic experience for the two of you. 

Choosing Princess is the first step in crafting an amazing honeymoon experience. Our strong reputation, excellent amenities, and commitment to romance make us an ideal choice for your honeymoon cruise, we are known as The Love Boat afterall. On a Princess ship, honeymoons and anniversaries are done right. 

To choose the right ship, you’ll want to decide where you’re going and what amenities are important to you. Each one comes with its own exciting offerings. If you’re looking for the full romantic Sanctuary Collection, you’ll want to choose our Sun Princess® or Star Princess® ships.

Booking the perfect suite

With a honeymoon package, you’ll also be booking a stunning suite or stateroom. This is one of the best approaches for your honeymoon because suites provide high levels of luxury and privacy—two important elements for a honeymoon experience. You’ll get seaside views, a private balcony, and one of the best beds on the sea with the Princess Luxury Bed.

Adding romantic extras

Your honeymoon can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to add romantic extras to your cruise experience. Think about what you and your spouse would love, and you’ll likely find them on your Princess ship. With the Princess Premier® package, you and your spouse can dine on unlimited specialty meals, including award-winning, multi-course meals with hand-cut steaks and mouth-watering premium seafood. Capture the special moments with unlimited professional photographs from our onboard team and enjoy reserved seating at every production the two of you attend. Nothing says love like being able to relax, dine and wine with your special someone. Book a special dining experience where the two of you enjoy a private dinner cooked by some of the best chefs on the ocean. You could try a spa package and get couples massages together. Princess also offers shore excursions that can be romantic, like wine tasting, cooking classes, and adventurous exploring.

Tips for a memorable honeymoon cruise

To get the most out of honeymoon cruises, consider some of these tips:

Packing essentials for a honeymoon cruise

Start your cruise off right with everything you need: 

  • Casual clothes for traveling and relaxing
  • Formal wear (even black tie if that’s what you love) for dining and shows
  • Clothes for exploring the ports
  • Good walking shoes
  • Sunscreen
  • Bathing suits
  • Jackets
  • Toiletries
  • Accessories
  • Travel documents

Travel documents are one of the most important things to remember to bring. Make sure to pack those early to reduce stress leading up to your wedding and have them accessible when needed.

Making the most of onboard activities

To get the most out of your cruise, take advantage of the wide variety of onboard activities. Go to a show or experience the nightlife on board — with the Princess Premier package, you’ll sit in the special reserved section for each show. You might use the fitness classes and equipment. As a couple, it can be particularly fun to swim together and take a few classes. A show in the evening can make every night memorable on your honeymoon. 

If you’re interested in specialty dining, reserve that in advance to make sure you have a table for your romantic dinner for two.
