Nautical Nuptials
Offer a Romantic Start
to a Life Together
Dear Bride and Groom:
Congratulations on your engagement and welcome to
Princess Cruises’ “Tie the Knot” Wedding Program. Thank you for giving our
Wedding Coordinators
the opportunity to design a wedding that is truly an
original. Such a wonderful occasion deserves only the best – down to the
smallest detail.
Hosting your wedding with Princess Cruises is a unique
alternative that allows you to combine your wedding ceremony and honeymoon
vacation into one
complete, special package. Whether you decide to “Tie
the Knot Harborside”, “Tie the Knot Ashore” or “Tie the Knot At Sea”, “Tie
the Knot” Wedding
Coordinators can arrange all of the details. Princess
Cruises made maritime and marriage history when the line implemented legal
weddings “At Sea”
performed by the “Master of the Ship” while in
international waters. Still today, we are the only line with this unique
program.
Imagine having a Wedding Coordinator to arrange your
wedding from the initial phone call to the final gala. Whether your
wedding is an intimate
ceremony for two or a grand event with many guests, we
can guide you to select the special touches.
Within these pages you will find exciting options to
create your wedding day. Our wedding department has designed the Wedding
Planner Reference Guide to
assist you in understanding the planning stages of a
Princess Wedding. It is important that you use this Reference Guide
because it has important guidelines
that you must know when booking your wedding to ensure
we create the wedding of your dreams.
Please contact us to discuss any questions that you may
have regarding your “Tie the Knot” wedding. We are committed to providing
you with excellence
before, during and after your wedding.
Again, congratulations!
Best Wishes, “Tie the Knot” Wedding Coordinators

“Tie the Knot” Weddings reserves the right to
substitute items of equal or
greater value.
“Tie the Knot” Wedding Coordinators can arrange most of
the services
offered at a land wedding, however, there are
limitations onboard a cruise
ship and at some of the ports of call. Extra Touches
should be ordered and
paid in full as soon as possible due to the limited
availability of some services.
Extra Touches must be booked no later than 45 days
prior to sailing.
“Tie the Knot” Weddings reserves the right at any time
not to book or to
cancel a wedding onboard one of the ships if “Tie the
Knot” Weddings feels
they will not be able to accommodate the couple’s needs
or meet their wedding
expectations.
ceremony and reception
Times and locations are set based on the requirements
of each event and
will not be confirmed until thirty days prior to
sailing. Onboard weddings
are normally performed in the chapel (if applicable),
on deck (weather permitting)
or in one of the onboard lounges. Land weddings are
normally
performed at a beach, garden or gazebo. All times are
approximate and may
be delayed and land locations may be substituted due to
unforeseen events.
Please note that some ports of calls or the “At Sea”
weddings require certain
vows be read by law. Please ask your Wedding
Coordinator for details.
wedding guests
All wedding packages were designed to accommodate the
bride and groom.
“Tie the Knot” Weddings will allow up to 10 non-sailing
guests to board the
ship for the ceremony at no additional charge. Princess
will allow additional
non-sailing guests if you purchase a Wedding Reception;
see the reception
section for more details. If you do decide to purchase
a reception or have
more than 25 guests, an additional Wedding Coordinator
is required. For
every additional 25 guests, an additional Wedding
Coordinator is required.
Due to security issues, some ports of call do not allow
non-sailing guests. All
non-sailing guests will need to present a picture ID
when boarding the ship.
All non-sailing guests will need to depart the ship no
later than one hour
prior to sailing.

Knot” Coordinators
will meet you at the ship’s terminal and escort you

must carry onboard all of your wedding items since
luggage checked curbside
may not arrive in your stateroom until after the
wedding.
