To learn about how to book the best romantic cruise for you and your loved one, keep reading for great tips on everything from what to look for in a cruise ship to how to get the best deals for your spouse.

Opt For a Cruise with an Age Limit

The last thing you want on your romantic getaway is to be surrounded by toddlers on their way to a puppet show at the children’s pool. So, book a cruise with an enforced age limit.

Most cruise lines offer cruises that restrict boarding to both individuals 25 and older or married individuals 21 and older. The bulk of these cruises are specifically targeted toward couples and will offer amenities like increased room service, couples’ massages, formal dining and couples’ activities.

If you’re unable to find a cruise with an age limit that’s right for you, most ships offer areas, including pools that are adults-only.

Stay Away From “Singles” Cruises

In contrast to couples’ cruises, some cruise lines offer cruise vacations that are specifically for single travelers or the ’spring break’ party crowd. Unless you want to spend your romantic getaway immersed in loud dance music and terrible pick up lines, you’re going to want to stay away from these options.

Pick a Boat Size That Works For You

A larger boat may have more passengers and a less intimate “feel,” but it also allows for greater anonymity while on-board ship and a larger range of facilities. When choosing a ship, think about what’s important for you in terms of privacy and boat size.

Book for Your Interests

If you plan on actually leaving your cabin, book a cruise that appeals to your interests. If you both love wine tasting, then opt for a cruise that includes shore-side wine tours and nightly wine tasting. If you’re into adventure travel, look for something that offers scuba diving alongside rock climbing and spelunking.

Remember, for almost every interest, there’s a cruise that caters to it, so you should be able to find just about any specialty you desire.

Get the Balcony

As tempting as it may be to book an inside cabin for a discount, know that the space is small and often windowless. If this cruise is a once-in-a-lifetime romantic treat, it’s time to splurge and opt for a cabin with a romantic balcony. When you’re watching the stars go by from bed, you’ll be thankful.

How to Get Great Couples’ Deals

Booking as a couple gives you an advantage. You can often look for “companion” rates that apply to either cabin bookings or air fare to your port. Many cruise lines and some air carriers offer a companion discount for couples traveling together.

It would take an awful lot for Mr Right to whisk me off my pretty little princess feet. He would have to arrange a trip dripping with romance beyond my fairytale dreams and keep me occupied every minute of the day. My fairy godmother would need to be consulted and he would need more than three wishes from the genie in the lamp to match my expectations. To gain my attention and affection, he would need to conjure a romantic break so magical that it would make me weep for joy.

Although based on sky high ideals and childhood fantasy, it is actually possible to have such a dream come true. A romantic break in Morocco is the perfect setting. Land of Aladdin and exotic opportunity, Morocco offers a sultry sanctuary for a pair of love birds to escape to for a luxurious date, honeymoon or anniversary. There is a lot to do and sunsets a plenty from the famous market in Marrakech to the Atlantic shores of Casablanca and the dramatic dunes of the desert.

The hotels in Marrakech are full of eastern promise and have an atmosphere that is perfect for a romantic break. Having a luxurious love-nest to retreat to will be a welcome break from the intense afternoon heat, as temperatures can reach a whopping forty degrees during the summer months. Traditional courtyard guesthouses are popular retreats for visitors to the city, and offer an all inclusive service that anticipates your every need, leaving you and your loved one to concentrate on each other.

A visit to the main souk, or market will make you feel like you’ve landed a part in a Hollywood blockbuster or been sucked into the pages of a novel. Snake charmers and dancers are there day and night, as are stalls peddling magic potions and exotic spices. There is plenty of chance to barter for goods of finest jewellery and hand made silks until sundown when the market takes on a whole new life. In the evening musical entertainment comes into its own and the market transforms into a giant outdoor eatery. Workshops and shrines integrate with street theatre to create an atmosphere that is as unique as the cuisine. For the exceptionally brave, sheep head soup could be just what you need to stir up the passion; oysters are so last season!

To fulfil the ultimate romantic gesture book a trip in to the desert to sleep under the stars. Morocco is famed for its caravan culture and there are plenty of traditional Berber guides that will escort you into the dunes. Alternatively, take a trip to the nearby Ourika River that is in the valley of the Atlas Mountains a mere 30 KM away from Marrakech itself for stunning views and a break from all the sand. From rock stars, to poets and hedonists on the hippie trail, Marrakech has been an exotic destination for decades; and how can that many cool people be wrong. Whatever your romantic ideals are, there is always a fairytale ending with the magic of Morocco, a destination that fulfils desire.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Debbie and Matt are planning a well-deserved romantic break. February can be a dreary time of year, so what better excuse than to get away from it all, just the two of them, to somewhere really special – somewhere to unwind and spoil themselves, for a change.

Having weighed up all the possibilities, Debbie and Matt decide that a serviced apartment will provide exactly the luxury they’re looking for; space, flexibility and privacy, combined with all the comforts and service of a hotel. Browsing through the website, discovering the host of locations available, they finally opt to treat each other to a spa break in the stunningly beautiful, sleepy Cotswolds. Spa breaks are becoming more and more popular with young and old alike, offering the ultimate in pure self-indulgence and relaxation – and the perfect antidote to modern-day stress! Booking the apartment through the company is a total breeze – this is an organisation totally focused on customer care and it seems that nothing is too much trouble for its friendly and helpful staff to ensure that Debbie and Matt will have a great time.

Driving up through the Cotswolds countryside, with its gently sloping hills and honeyed limestone cottages, Matt starts to have just a couple of reservations. Debbie laughs as she reassures him that ‘all this spa business’ isn’t just a ‘girlie thing’, and that his macho image will remain intact. After all, pampering isn’t just the prerogative of the female of the species. And she promises that, no – she will not let on to his workmates. Matt remains unconvinced, but any doubts that he may have harboured soon begin to melt away, as they arrive at the apartment.

Their ‘home from home’ is everything they both expected and were promised, and more; light, airy, spacious, superbly-equipped, tastefully decorated and impeccably clean throughout. Awaiting them is a luxury hamper, tempting chocolates and, in the fridge, a selection of ‘nibbles’, whilst a bottle of chilled bubbly beckons invitingly.

The apartment is not far from the wonderful city of Cheltenham, and there’s plenty of time for Debbie and Matt to take in the atmosphere and do a little shopping, before heading back to the apartment to prepare for their spa treatment while sipping their champagne and sampling the ‘light bites’ from the fridge.

A little while later, highly skilled, trained and experienced therapists arrive at the apartment to deliver the spa treatment. Armed with all the necessary equipment, it seems that they’ve forgotten nothing, even providing restful music, mood lighting and incense to add to the peaceful ambience. Already savouring the effects of the champagne and the cosiness of the apartment, Debbie and Matt each settle down to enjoy an incredibly loosening back, neck and shoulder massage, a relaxing facial and an amazing hand and foot ritual. Just the thing to restore the equilibrium. What bliss!

When the therapists have said their goodbyes and after a heavenly snooze, Debbie and Matt get changed and round off a wonderful evening with a first class dinner at a nearby Japanese restaurant. The meal is delicious and the service is faultless. Somehow, given the entire perfection of the weekend so far, that doesn’t surprise them.

In the morning, refreshed and invigorated and keen to make the most of the rest of their break, the happy couple emerge from the comfort of their sumptuous king size bed to explore the local market, before partaking of a hearty breakfast and heading for home.

As they make their way, energised and rejuvenated, Matt has to admit that this has been just the break that they both needed. Debbie is relaxed and happy, and he feels ten years younger. He’ll be sure to tell the lads at work all about it, when he gets back – one or two of them could do with a bit of chilling out, too – not to mention a facial…

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.
