He slips the ring on your finger. You whisper, "I do". A light breeze fills the canvas as he takes you in his arms. The Captain gives the order to kiss the bride. This isn't an excerpt from a romance novel. This is your wedding. Your every fantasy come true...

Whisper "I do" from the deck of a tall ship

Tie the knot simply means to be bound by love. And now that you have found your perfect mate, it's time to begin planning the perfect wedding. Our barefoot bride and grooms have celebrated their unions with informal celebrations on the top deck or formal affairs on the beach.

You may decide on a legally binding ceremony performed by a non-denominational minister. Or, choose to take care of the legal paper work back home and simply have a wedding ceremony officiated by your ship's Captain. No matter your preference, leave all your worries to us. We offer wedding packages to suit your budget and the complimentary service of a Wedding Consultant who is here to help plan your perfect day.

Say, "I do" all over again. Your years together have been unforgettable. We invite you to celebrate your life and commitment to each other with a vow renewal ceremony. Officiated by your ship's Captain, you will cherish every memory as you look back through your lifetime together. A renewal is also about new beginnings... you have the future to look forward to-and many more years of sharing your lives together.

A Caribbean cruise is the perfect dream honeymoon... romantic, exciting and as active or relaxing as you want it to be. Choose from our spacious, air-conditioned honeymoon suites and nine exotic itineraries Windjammer's honeymoon package includes a complimentary bottle of champagne, honeymoon gift basket and two "barefoot honeymoon" t-shirts. The icing on the cake is the 50% off discount Windjammer offers newlyweds on their first year anniversary cruise.

We love them! And while we can't offer you a tacky little drive through wedding chapel, we can guarantee sunny days, swaying palms and moon filled nights. Oh... and the occasional Elvis sighting too.
