YOUR WEDDING. YOUR VOYAGE.
All the romance.

The cruise line’s wedding team plans your ceremony. As your cruise wedding planner, I plan the voyage around it—helping you compare packages, choose the right sailing, coordinate group rates, and keep your guests together from booking through departure.

I help you select and book the cruise, secure the best available group arrangement, and organize the right stateroom mix.

WHY BOOK WITH BOWSAWAY?
The cruise line plans the ceremony.
I handle the voyage around it.
I started BowsAway because brides planning a wedding room block deserved better than a call center and a handoff to whoever picks up next. You get one advisor for the sailing, the stateroom group, and every guest, with no fees to you, ever—because your special day, and every guest who shows up for it, is what matters most to me.

CRUISE WEDDING PRICES BY LINE
Which cruise line
fits your love story?
Compare real cruise wedding prices across every major line—Disney, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and more—plus guest allowances and vow-renewal options, then let’s choose the right sailing together.
Tap a cruise line to browse its official wedding program; every link opens the cruise line’s own site in a new tab. Cruise wedding prices shown are starting prices and may change. Additional charges may apply by ship, sailing, venue, guest count, legal requirements, and enhancements. Royal Caribbean captain-led weddings at sea are legally recognized in The Bahamas, and couples should confirm recognition in their own jurisdiction. Carnival cruise weddings at sea are symbolic and require proof of legal marriage before sailing.
Not sure which cruise line fits your wedding?
Ask Kris to Narrow It DownCRUISE WEDDING QUESTIONS
Cruise wedding prices,
answered honestly.
How much does a cruise wedding cost?
Cruise wedding prices and packages start around $1,199 with MSC and run to $5,600 or more with Royal Caribbean, depending on the line, ship, and guest count. Compare current starting prices by cruise line above, or ask me for a personal quote.
Is a wedding at sea legally binding?
It depends on the line. Royal Caribbean’s captain-led weddings at sea are legally recognized in The Bahamas; couples should confirm recognition in their own jurisdiction. Carnival’s at-sea ceremonies are symbolic, performed alongside a legal marriage before sailing. Princess offers both legal and symbolic ceremonies.
Does booking as a group save money?
Group rates are often, though not always, below the standard fare, and booking together keeps your wedding party in nearby staterooms.
Cruise wedding planner or cruise wedding coordinator—what's the difference?
Nothing, really—some brides say cruise wedding planner, others say cruise wedding coordinator. Either way, it's just me: one dedicated advisor from your first question through the day you sail.
Do I pay a fee to work with a cruise wedding planner?
No. BowsAway charges no planning fee to the couple or their guests—ever.
DESTINATION: FOREVER
Not just a wedding day.
A whole world away.

REVIEWS ARE COMING
Be one of my first BowsAway couples.
BowsAway launched in September 2026, but I’m not new to cruise weddings—I’ve spent more than a decade planning travel and managing groups.
I could fill this page with praise from couples I’ve helped elsewhere, but those weddings weren’t booked through BowsAway. I’d rather be completely transparent and earn every review here from scratch.
