What is included in the Weddings or Commitment Ceremony at Sea package?
For our most up to date information on our Weddings at Sea package, please visit our website - www.pocruises.com/ceremonies-at-sea or view the brochure.
Getting married on board is a wonderfully unique experience. We’ll make every moment feel special so that you can enjoy a day of love, laughter, and celebration. Should you choose to hold your wedding celebrations with us, Weddings at Sea are available across all our ships with the exception of Arvia, Britannia & Iona, where non-legal weddings (commitment ceremonies) are available.
Our pre-cruise and on-board wedding specialists will take any stresses away and bring your ideas to life, leaving you to begin your journey with ease. The captain will conduct an elegant ceremony for you with the sea as your backdrop and, afterwards, champagne will be poured for toasting to your love with your nearest and dearest. And you can enjoy a relaxing start to married life with breakfast in bed the next morning as you savour sweet memories of your big day.
Cruises must be a minimum of seven nights in duration and the ceremony will take place on a selected Sea Day. A minimum of 90 days notice is required to arrange a Wedding on board.
