The Average Cost for a Wedding on a Cruise
Cruises provide a romantic and unique venue for wedding ceremonies. Cruise line wedding packages vary, ranging from simple beach ceremonies to full ceremony and reception combinations. Typical cruise packages do not include cabin and travel expenses you and your guests will incur, so be sure to factor those costs in as well.
