Cruise Deals and Destinations for Romantic Getaways
Few trips inspire romance like a cruise adventure. Maybe it’s being wined and dined around the clock, the opulent ship settings, extravagant amenities or exotic destinations that make taking a cruise such a great choice for couples. Perhaps it is the combination of all these exciting elements that make a cruise getaway the perfect vacation for couples. And the best part is that many of these romance-inspiring vacations are very budget-friendly, with many cruise companies offering amazing deals all year-long. That means it does not take a special occasion to warrant a cruise trip, any time of year can be the perfect time and any reason can be the perfect excuse to indulge.
Crystal clear water, pristine beaches, balmy temperatures and a relaxing island feel: it is no wonder a trip to the Caribbean is the obvious choice for lovers around the globe. To take full advantage of all the romantic possibilities the Caribbean has to offer, a cruise vacation is the perfect choice. Cruises to the Caribbean are particularly affordable because of their closeness to the US coast. Many cruises, like the Celebrity Century, by Celebrity Cruises, originate off the Florida coast. This cruise costs well under $300 per person and combines the thrill of traveling to spots like Key West and Cozumel, Mexico, with the full-service experience of a cruise stay.
Get cozy onboard Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas with a seven-night cruise that covers San Juan, Oranjestad, Willemstad, Roseau and Charlotte Amalie. When not enjoying the sand and surf of these tropical resort stops, spend some couple time having fun with Royal Caribbean’s host of on-board attractions, like the skating rink, duty-free shopping galleria, rock climbing wall and numerous pools.
Couples can also focus their attention on one area of the Caribbean to maximize their pleasure. For the Bahamas, there’s the Norwegian Cruise Line Norwegian Sky which tours Grand Bahama Island, Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay for a four-night cruise beginning at under $250 per person. From the exotic spa treatments at the Body Waves Spa to the Second City Comedy Show, this vacation will renew the senses and rekindle the fireworks. And for couples that can’t get enough of the Caribbean, there is always the 12-day Azamara cruise that begins in Miami and travels to St. John, Basseterre, Castries and onto Point A Pitre, St. Barthelemy and Virgin Gorda all while featuring a full-service spa, fitness center and casino on board the cruise liner.
Romantic Getaways are not just reserved for the Caribbean Islands however. There are plenty of other cruise ship destinations that can offer couples the chance to spend time together living it up on palatial cruise liners and spending time together amidst some of the most gorgeous backdrops in the world. Another budget-friendly romantic cruise destination is Mexico and the Panama Canal region. How about a week-long stay aboard Holland America’s Oosterdam? This trip leaves from San Diego and moves through some of the most scenic spots in all of Mexico, like Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas all starting around $500 per person.
Or move from coast to coast with the Norwegian Cruise Lines’ Norwegian Pearl’s Panama trip. Launching out of Miami, this cruise makes its way through the canal and includes stops in Puerto Quetzal and Acapulco before landing in sunny Los Angeles.
Alaska is one more stop near the states that bears noting for couples looking to get away together. These cruises begin at around $500 per person for week long trips! The Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Millennium traverses the cool seas of this untamed wilderness area, beginning in Vancouver and traveling through the Inside Passage, Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point, Hubbard Glacier and Seward.
Couples looking for their own personal Love Boat do not have to be confined to the shores around North America though. For a more exotic getaway, head for the South American shores or the islands of the South Pacific. Both areas offer unique cruise options that combine fun in the sun with cultural adventures. Norwegian Cruise Lines for example offers a 14-day trip through some of the most popular locales in South America, such as Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Puerto Madryn, Stanley, Ushuaia, Punta Arenas, Puerto Chacabuco, Puerto Montt and Santiago. Or spend 14-days touring the mystical isles of Asia with Costa Cruises cruise of Bali, Komodo, Singapore and other South Pacific retreats.
For a romantic couple’s getaway, a cruise trip offers the perfect love connection. Couples can enjoy the thrill of site-seeing at an array of ever changing locations and also spend intimate time on these opulent “floating resorts” indulging in numerous amenities guaranteed to excite and rejuvenate the senses. Few hotels can boast such a thrilling and romantic vacation.
