Why an Alaska wedding cruise?

Alaska wedding cruises are notorious for their stunning beauty and tranquility. While Alaska isn’t necessarily the first place one would think of when looking for a wedding or a honeymoon, the couples who try it have nothing but good things to say and never regret it. If you’re looking for a unique and gorgeous setting to exchange your vows, however, an Alaska wedding cruise is at the top of the list.

Tips on planning your alaska wedding cruise

Before getting so excited you go out and buy two tickets for an Alaska wedding cruise there are several things you need to consider. First you need to consider where the actual wedding ceremony will take place. There are three main options:

• Get married on board the ship: Most cruise lines are more than happy to accommodate couples and provide them with an intimate marriage setting on board the ship.
• Get married on a port excursion: Set up a marriage ceremony ahead of time at one of the ports your cruise will be stopping. There are some truly stunning places in Alaska that would be perfect for your Alaska wedding.
• Get married before or after the Alaska wedding cruise: in this case the cruise serves as your honeymoon and you would perform the actual ceremony outside of the cruise.

Who’s going to perform our ceremony

Now who’s going to perform the ceremony and get you hitched? One of the great things about Alaska is that ANYONE ANYWHERE can marry you as long as they apply for a one-day wedding license. That means your drinking buddy Joe from the cruise can wed you to your beloved (as long as he doesn’t slur the words of course).

Sounds wonderful…but can I afford an Alaska wedding cruise

But how much is your scenic Alaska wedding cruise going to cost? While Alaska cruises certainly aren’t cheap, if you plan on bringing a large group to partake in your wedding cruise, there are great discounts to be had!

So where do I book my Alaska wedding cruise?

We’ve found that Priceline, as usual, has by far the best deals. They also have the ‘name your own price’ function where you choose how much you’re willing to pay and they’ll find you the best package for that money.
