I’m not sure about all the rules in this area, but I thought the Captain of a cruise ship could legally perform marriages at sea on cruise ships. But, I guess I was wrong. If anyone really knows the rules on this feel free to comment.
Anyway, it was just announced last week that Captains on Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Cruises can now legally perform weddings at sea. Before this point they could only perform vow-renewals at sea and weddings in-port with a local official. Why did this all of a sudden become legal? Here’s a quote from their press release:
“…with the recent re-registration of seven of Celebrity’s eight ships in Malta, where
Azamara’s two ships also are registered, government regulations have
changed to allow for captains to perform legal marriages while the ships
sail the seas of the world.”
Both cruise lines are offering wedding packages from the basic Captain performed wedding package starting at $2,500 to private full-blown receptions. Check the Celebrity Cruise and Azamara Cruise websites for details! This could be quite the destination wedding option!
