Cruises and weddings in Gibraltar - a sweet combination!

Did you know that Gibraltar is one of Europe's most popular cruise stop destinations? For decades, Gibraltar has welcomed visitors from all over the world arriving on luxury cruise ships for the day. On these days - which is almost every day in summer - Gibraltar's streets turn into a mass of colour and activity; as shoppers enjoy the great bargains to be had in Gibraltar's duty free shops, and visit the sites that make Gibraltar so famous worldwide.

With so many cruise liners arriving on a daily basis to our shores, it is no wonder that some of its passengers like the idea of getting married whilst on holiday. Gibraltar is a great destination wedding venue. With easy legislation that can be arranged in advance, it is possible for loved up couples to embark on a Mediterranean cruise and arrive in Gibraltar for the day, and leave as a married couple!  All that is required is a little planning ahead, with the help of wedding planners Hour Weddings,  and a short visit to Gibraltar to finalise the details prior to your cruise.
Last year, one of our couples did just that. Arriving in Gibraltar just before midday with their entourage of relatives and friends who were also on board the Legend of the Seas, they were whisked off to the Gibraltar Botanical Gardens to have their wedding ceremony, followed by a cocktail reception. Then, after having visited the top of the Rock for some amazing pictures, they were driven back to their ship just before it was ready to depart! It was a gorgeous day, and Monica was there throughout to make sure they had what they needed. The couple, who had arrived as Mr and Miss, departed as a very delighted Mr and Mrs!
So, if you are in the midst of planning your wedding and are looking for something different, how about making your wedding a cruise with a difference? We would be happy to provide you with options, including a list of cruise liners that are heading our way this summer.
Bon voyage, ahoy there and all the rest, matey!
