P&O Cruises Weddings

Choose from some of the world’s most romantic destinations as the backdrop to your love for one another. From the stunning architecture and the mountain-backed shores of the Canary Islands to the turquoise waters and sun-drenched sands of the Mediterranean, your adventures together are sure to get off to an incredible start.

With a P&O Cruises Ceremonies at Sea package, relaxation, love and laughter are part and parcel of your day along with glorious music, delicious food and Champagne toasts supplied on board.

Choose your perfect venue

Weddings at Sea are available on many of the ships in P&O’s fleet. Whether you’re seeking a sense of tradition or the contemporary, a family-friendly atmosphere or a ship that’s exclusively for adults, P&O can help.

Your own personal onboard Wedding Specialist

The moment you step on board, P&O’s professional Wedding Specialist will help you organize all the details that’ll make your day really special and memorable.

The main event

Your wedding ceremony should be everything you wish for, so P&O provides the heart of this within the package and lets you add the extras that make the day truly yours; from bouquets to buttonholes and cakes to photography. Held in a private venue, with the scent of fresh flowers and soft music drifting through the air, your Captain will conduct your ceremony. Your witnesses can be your choice of any two adults aged 18 and over. However, if your wedding is to be more intimate, with just the two of you, two of the ship’s company will be honored to act as your witnesses.

The finer details

Discuss your planned wedding party size and venue seating with your travel counselor when you book. Then, it’s all in the details on the day. So talk through every tiny aspect with your Wedding Coordinator once you’re on board. Got a favorite song that holds a special meaning for you? You are welcome to bring your own wedding music or P&O can provide a traditional selection for you. Or, perhaps you’d like a member of your wedding party to read a piece of poetry or prose during your ceremony? Just let your coordinator know. Finally, if you’d like to have commemorative items engraved, P&O advises doing it when you get back, as itinerary changes are possible.

Celebrations and Receptions

The food on your wedding day should be something you savor as much as the day itself.  P&O’s dedicated and experienced team of inspiring executive chefs, galley chefs, bakers, pâtissiers, knowledgeable and attentive waiters - are all on hand to deliver a delicious day. And wine experts have selected and paired some of the world’s best wines with your dining choices. 
 
Your wedding day is (naturally) all about you and you can choose a morning or afternoon ceremony, at 11:00 am, 2:00 pm or 3:30 pm. (However, if your wedding party will have more than 20 guests, you should reserve the 11.00am wedding, as this gives you much more choice of where to hold your reception afterwards, especially if you would prefer a more private celebration.)

Traditional Ceremony Luncheon or Private Wedding Luncheon (Azura or Ventura only)

If you choose to have a morning ceremony on Azura or Ventura, you can have a decadent private luncheon for you and your guest in The Epicurean afterward. Standard cover charges apply. Alternatively, your wedding party can be sat together in one of our Freedom restaurants in a section all to themselves. Or, you can eat from the wedding luncheon menu at £10 per person.
 
Ceremony buffet and canapés

If you’d prefer to keep your day more informal and have a party size of 10 or more, you can choose from one of the buffet menus to be served. Or, for something lighter, a range of delicious canapés can be served in the privacy of your function room or in one of the public bars.

Ceremony Dinner

For a party size of 12 or less, you might look to book a specialty restaurant like Sindhu or The Epicurean for dinner. Parties of more than 12 can head to one of the Freedom Dining restaurants.

Small Plates

Children's options are also available for all celebrations and receptions.

Wines and Champagne

The celebrations start here! And, luckily, P&O has one of the finest cellars afloat.  It's easy to find the perfect selection as P&O wines have been chosen to match their menus.  Your on-board ceremony coordinator is on hand to help you make the ideal choice for your day.
 
Wedding Cakes

One of the most symbolic moments – and major photo opportunities - of your wedding day is when you cut the cake. The skilled pastry chef can create your perfect one- or two-tier wedding cake in vanilla sponge, chocolate sponge or fruit.  It will be delicately and beautifully decorated with traditional white icing, topped with sugar flowers, giving it a contemporary and elegant look.
