Pick a cruise destination and travel time. You will want to pick your cruise dates and destination before looking further into wedding packages. It will be nice to have your entire family along for the cruise and wedding at sea, but do not worry if not everyone can make it or afford to go along. The Princess Cruise Line offers a Haborside ceremony, where guests can see you get married without having to go on the cruise with you. This ceremony takes place at the port just before the ship sets sail.

Decide when during your cruise you wish to tie the knot. If you choose not to have a Haborside ceremony, you will then want to decide if you are going to get married in one of the ship's chapels or at one of the ports of call. If you have family members who were unable to make it on the cruise, you might want to have your wedding in one of the chapels and take advantage of the ship's wedding cams. These cameras offer a live feed of your wedding over the Internet to your family back home. If this is not something you want, pick a port of call to have your wedding on the beach or at a historical destination.
