DIAL UP THE HONEYMOON ROMANCE AT PERFECT DAY AT COCOCAY

Published on February 10, 2020

After planning a wedding, sometimes the only thing you want on the itinerary for your honeymoon is plenty of rest and relaxation. That’s why romantic honeymoon cruises are the perfect way to celebrate your newly-wedded bliss, stress-free. All the planning is taken care of for you by the cruise line, which means you can focus your energy on disconnecting from reality and connecting with your special someone. If you’re looking for the ultimate island getaway for couples, choose an itinerary with a stop — or two — at Perfect Day at CocoCay, the newly-reimagined private destination by Royal Caribbean in The Bahamas. Read on to find out why this is the best Caribbean destination for newly-married couples, plus Perfect Day at CocoCay honeymoon tips to help you maximize your time ashore.

THERE’S SOMETHING FOR EVERY KIND OF COUPLE

As far as tropical escapes go, Perfect Day at CocoCay has it all — beautiful white sand beaches lapped by crystal clear turquoise waters. Private shoreside cabanas where you can enjoy frothy piña coladas or crisp sparkling wine delivered straight to your loungers. A luxurious beach club with a private infinity pool and floating cabanas that channel French Polynesia vibes. The Caribbean’s largest freshwater pool, where the party never stops. And even a waterpark brimming with white-knuckle slides and exciting rides that are perfect for couples with a taste for adrenaline. Whatever kind of honeymoon experience you’re craving, you’ll find the perfect mix of thrills and amazing ways to chill on this beautiful private island destination by Royal Caribbean.

SHAKE OFF WEDDING STRESS AT CHILL ISLAND ®

If you’re taking a romantic honeymoon cruise to Perfect Day at CocoCay, it helps to know which parts of the island you should definitely fit into the day’s itinerary —especially since there are so many things to see and do. Most couples make a beeline for Chill Island® when they arrive to kick back and soak up the sunshine. This serene stretch of beach along the island’s western coast is the go-to place for tranquil vibes and max relaxation. It’s where you’ll find sand that’s as soft and white as powdered sugar and clear blue waters dotted with colorful coral — plus a floating bar just offshore that’s perfect for cooling down with your favorite tropical drink. There are plenty of complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas available for use on a first-come first-serve basis. But, if you really want to dial up your day with your husband or wife, opt for a daybed or a private cabana at Breezy Bay. If you choose the latter, you’ll enjoy dedicated attendant service all day long, so you can keep the Coco Locos coming strong. You’ll also have your own little slice of paradise all to yourself, including unobstructed views of the calm Caribbean waters. What’s more, there’s a snorkel shack nearby where you can rent equipment and take your romantic beach day beneath the waves. This Perfect Day at CocoCay insiders tips covers the top things to do at Perfect Day at CocoCay, plus helpful pointers like what’s complimentary onshore, what hours each restaurant operates, and when to visit certain attractions around the island to avoid waiting in line.

GET YOUR FILL OF THRILLS AT THRILL WATERPARK

Some couples choose to spend their honeymoon resting and relaxing, but others like to keep the thrills going strong. If you and your partner are all about fast-paced fun and heart-pounding excitement, you’ll be happy to learn that Perfect Day at CocoCay is also one of the most adventurous honeymoon destinations in the Caribbean. It’s home to Daredevil’s Peak, the tallest waterslide in North America at 135 feet, the largest wave pool in the Caribbean, and two towers loaded with high-octane single- and multi-rider slides, including options you can challenge your special someone to — like twin 75-foot drop slides and double open-flume racers. You’ll find them all at Thrill Waterpark , just a few steps from the entrance to the island. Admission to the park is extra, but here’s a little-known honeymoon tip — book a cabana inside Thrill Waterpark and you’ll enjoy complimentary admission for up to eight guests — plus your own private space close to all the action with dedicated attendant service. Ordering food is easy, considering there’s a Snack Shack onsite at the water park, so you never have to leave the area.

JOIN THE PARTY AT OASIS LAGOON

You just got married — you should pencil in some time on your honeymoon to celebrate your recent nuptials! And you won’t find a better place to turn up than Oasis Lagoon — the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean and also the best party spot in the tropics. If you want to work on your golden honeymoon glow, claim any of the in-water loungers that run along the perimeter of the pool. Or lounge out on any of the lagoon’s three swim-up islands and coves — each is set up with in-water seating. In the afternoons, a DJ keeps the beats coming strong while a team of talented bartenders at the swim up bar hand over ice cold brews, sling tropical drinks, and whip up the island’s signature cocktail, the Coco Loco. Conga lines are known to start up spontaneously near the bar, and dancing is always a given. But while the party at Oasis Lagoon might be nonstop, you can still kick back and relax close by. Treat yourself and your partner in adventure to a private cabana near the lagoon, and escape to total zen whenever you’re craving a break from the action.

LIVE THE LUXE LIFE AT COCO BEACH CLUB

If there’s one honeymoon tip that should go without saying, it’s that you shouldn’t be afraid to do it up after your big day. This trip is all about you and your love, and that’s reason enough to go all out and make each moment truly unforgettable. If you’re looking to really dial up your honeymoon visit to Perfect Day at CocoCay, make sure you add the brand new Coco Beach Club — just steps away from Oasis Lagoon and South Beach — to your list. Coco Beach Club is an exclusive beachside oasis on the island’s north shore where every moment is elevated. Admission to the club includes premium amenities and access to an island-chic restaurant that serves up incredible global flavors, including steak and lobster. Not to mention an expansive infinity pool with wow-worthy views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea. You can even book spa treatments here, like a soothing couples’ massage. Want to take your honeymoon a step further? Turn the luxe factor all the way up and reserve one of the first Floating Cabanas in The Bahamas. Fitted with an overwater hammock that’s big enough for two, a private slide right into the ocean, comfortable loungers, a dining area, and lots of deck space, each floating cabana is spacious enough to accommodate up to eight guests — but if you just want to enjoy yours with your special someone, that’s totally fine, too. You’ll also receive cabana concierge service, so you can keep your slice of paradise stocked with your favorite bottle of celebratory bubbly and order bites from the beach club’s restaurant whenever you feel like snacking on something delicious.

Can you feel the wanderlust yet? Whatever your ideal honeymoon vibe, Perfect Day at CocoCay is all about delivering the best beach day ever to a wide range of visitors. So skip the honeymoon Pinterest boards and all the stress-inducing research that usually goes into planning a big couples’ trip. Romantic honeymoon cruises to Perfect Day at CocoCay check all the boxes — from endless ways to recharge and reconnect on pristine white sand beaches, to pulse-pumping thrills, an epic party scene and the most luxurious private island experience in the Caribbean at Coco Beach Club. The best part? You don’t have to worry about planning a single thing.

One of the best ways to round out wedding planning is by taking a once-in-a-lifetime trip with your partner after it's all said and done. If you enjoy perks with stays, then perhaps the best route to consider. especially when booking a resort, is to explore their romance and honeymoon packages.

Romantic getaways for couples that combine a variety of experiences—including meals, upgrades and excursions—are considered packages as it's about setting the overall tone of the trip. For example, some hotels will offer a wellness package for two where couples can easily indulge in organic spa treatments, daily wellness rituals, and turndown services. Another may have a honeymoon package deal where newlyweds will be treated to an exclusive, sunset dinner for two, as well as a bucket-list excursion locally. Here, we review the best honeymoon packages for couples, especially those who want the five-star treatment (and chilled champagne upon arrival).

In this article:

What to Look for When Booking a Honeymoon Package

Caribbean honeymoon packages, central america and mexico honeymoon packages, europe honeymoon packages, south pacific, australia and new zealand honeymoon packages, south and southeast asia honeymoon packages, usa honeymoon packages.

Given your honeymoon will be one of the most outstanding trips you'll take as a couple, refining the destination and respective hotels or operators may be a tough decision. According to The Knot's 2022 Honeymoon Study, one-third of all couples stay at premium hotels, while a quarter seeks all-inclusive options. One in five specifically select luxury, five-star properties to accommodate their dream getaway. (For many, the honeymoon is a once-in-a-lifetime splurge.)

To get the most from a given resort or destination, couples will look for romance deals or specific honeymoon packages custom-tailored by each resort. These packages cater to the overall intimate experience sought by couples. The property may provide complimentary spa massages, a romantic beach dinner for two, or a private sunset boat ride. Some tour operators may include a private helicopter ride or boat transfers as part of its comprehensive package experience.

What else should you look for when booking a honeymoon package? "Budget is usually one of the first concerns. There are options for most price ranges, however, you need to be realistic. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for," advise Reco advisors Mike K. and Curtis R. "Other items to consider are travel times as some locations can require overnight flights which can be stressful after a wedding. Most of all, it's about finding the right resort for your desires. Friends and family will provide suggestions, but their likes may be different than yours."

With this in mind, it really is up to you to decide what you want to get out of your honeymoon and, more specifically, what you want out of your honeymoon package. If all you want is to fly and flop somewhere tropical, you might like the Caribbean, the South Pacific or Indonesia. If you'd prefer a destination that marries gorgeous scenery with adrenaline-pumping activities, try New Zealand, Iceland or Australia. And for something a bit closer to home (which also means saving pennies!), consider a US-based honeymoon in Florida.

A short distance away from the East Coast of the US, it's no wonder Caribbean honeymoon packages are so high in demand. Between Aruba, Saint Lucia and Jamaica, it's a tough decision to select the ideal honeymoon package for you and your partner–they're all too good.

Aruba Honeymoon Packages

The sunny island nation just beyond the Hurricane Belt is home to a range of properties tailored to romance. Aruba honeymoon packages may include private picnics, boat rides, chef-led dinners, and unique amenities.

Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino : ​​The "Sand, Sea, You & Me" package from this centrally-located resort already comes with exclusive-level packaging. Couples will receive complimentary champagne and access to the Tradewinds Club, Marriott's adults-only tier that offers complimentary food and beverage, as well as other amenities on the top floor of the resort. This romance package also includes a sunset sail with De Palm Tours, a romantic dinner at Atardi, and a 90-minute photoshoot with professional Demian Gibbs Photography . To top off the honeymoon package, couples will also receive message-in-a-bottle kits for sentimental letter writing and keepsakes to share for decades to come.

Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino : The Hilton property is offering its Romance Package for two, which includes a welcome amenity, daily breakfasts for two, a couples spa treatment at the eforea spa, a sunset concierge dining experience, and to top it off: a 30-minute private photo shoot.

Divi & Tamarjin All Inclusives : Arguably the all-inclusive resort in Aruba, this wellness property has its own honeymoon package for couples wanting an extra special getaway. Along with the food and beverage options included in the room rates, this deal includes a bottle of chilled champagne, a unique take-home gift, a prime room choice, and a free night if you return to the property for your first anniversary.

Saint Lucia Honeymoon Packages

There's a reason why St. Lucia honeymoon packages are so high in demand. The destination is arguably one of the most romantic in the Caribbean with the dramatic and otherworldly peaks of the Pitons. Resorts on the island also custom tailor experiences around romance, making it a sultry destination of choice for couples.

Jade Mountain : There are honeymooners galore at Jade Mountain, but you likely won't see them. Here, most guests don't leave the rooms—or rather their palatial three-walled, open-concept suites that surround an enormous plunge pool, all of which overlook the Pitons. Luckily, room service is terrific and efficient. The Total Romance offer is a honeymoon package where luxury meets adventure. Expect guided volcano tours, scuba diving lessons, jungle biking, a half-day yacht trip and a Swedish massage.

St. Barths Honeymoon Packages

It's fact that among the Caribbean islands, St. Barths is reputable for being the default playground for celebrities and billionaires alike. Luxury accommodations are a given at this destination–and with service and delicious food to match.

Hotel Christopher St. Barths : Located on Pointe Milou, the Christopher Hotel offers a signature "seashell" spa treatment for couples to enjoy. Shells are filled with warm oil for massages as couples take in the beauty of their surroundings privately and outdoors.

Couples seeking R&R and fresh guac should seriously consider Mexico and Central America honeymoon packages. With gorgeous destinations dotting both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, not to mention culturally immersive experiences and splendid tourism attractions, there's so much for couples to easily access from the US.

Belize Honeymoon Packages

South of Mexico is this affordable, eco-friendly destination, brimming with lush jungle and Caribbean water. Belize honeymoon packages typically include a wide variety of amenities and value-adds, without the compromising price tag.

Alaia Belize Autograph Collection : Located on Ambergris Caye, this property offers its own, standalone all-inclusive package. This includes all meals, as well as unlimited beverages, use of the resort's kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, along with other complimentary activities. Couples can also enjoy discounts on spa and cabana rentals. Roundtrip transfers from the San Pedro Airstrip are also included.

The Belize Collection : With properties like Jaguar Reef Lodge and Sleeping Giant, the Belize Collection's portfolio is sprinkled throughout key regions of the country. Throughout the year, couples can take advantage of various offers or packages, including 10% off accommodations, as well as resort credits to be used for food and beverage options.

Xanadu Island Resort : Ambergris Caye is considered one of the most beautiful destinations in Belize and this package simply enhances the experience. Couples will receive a welcome drink upon arrival, as well as a welcome basket with local treats and wine. The experience also includes a romantic dinner for two al fresco, as well as a restaurant dinner on separate evening. Those looking for water activities will appreciate that this package comes with a half-day snorkeling excursion at Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley, as well as a private fishing and snorkeling trip that ends with the day's fresh catch enjoyed during a beach barbecue. A couple's massage will top off the experience. That's not all: round-trip flights from the international airport and transfers to Xanadu are included with this package.

Costa Rica Honeymoon Packages

One of the most biodiverse countries on Planet Earth is none other than the Land of Pura Vida. Adventure-seeking couples will find ease with Costa Rica honeymoon packages, which may couple a fun outdoorsy activity with a relaxing couples massage or yoga class.

La Paloma Lodge : This property is exactly what you dream about when envisioning a Costa Rican honeymoon—with some luxury thrown in for good measure. The lodge sits atop a cliff, perched above the Pacific Ocean in Drake Bay, where jungle-immersed rooms are fit with air-conditioners and stunning interiors, along with a large balcony, hammock and plenty of monkey sightings. Opt for the Romance package when booking your stay for a bottle of wine or sparkling wine, chocolates and flowers on arrival and a couples massage.

Botánika Osa Peninsula : Situated between Corcovado National Park and the Pacific Ocean's Golfo Dulce, Hilton's Curio Collection eco-resort, Botánika Osa Peninsula, is an incredible ocean and rainforest paradise for couples. Its romance package includes massages for two, daily breakfast, dinner for two, as well as chilled champagne. Plus, couples can enjoy late check-out.

Cancún Honeymoon Packages

Along the Riviera Maya is the shining resort region of Cancún, where you can find just about every type of all-inclusive resort under the sun. Couples who want the full honeymoon experience, however, may want to venture slightly beyond Cancún to areas like Playa del Carmen and Tulum for more privacy and natural beauty.

Banyan Tree Mayakoba : Discerning honeymooners know developments along the Riviera Maya are completely distinct from nearby Cancún. This includes the Banayn Tree in the luxury development of Mayakoba. The property offers a " Sense of Romance " package, including a couple's massage a dinner for two at the recommended Thai restaurant Saffron, an "intimate moment" arranged by the concierge (a popular choice among couples is the in-villa outdoor bath), sparkling wine upon arrival, and daily breakfast for two.

Secrets Impression Moxché Playa del Carmen : At Secrets Impression Moxché, couples can enjoy an uninterrupted Newlywed and Anniversary Package that includes the following: fresh fruit, sparkling wine, turndown services with a special touch, breakfast in bed, and 15% off all spa treatments if that's your priority.

Los Cabos Honeymoon Packages

The southernmost region of Mexico's Baja California peninsula, located along the Pacific Coast, is considered one of the top destinations for travel from the West Coast of the US. Residents who live in LA or Texas can easily reach Cabo in less than a few hours. However, venture just a bit further to lesser-known Todos Santos and you'll find even better romance offerings that feel a bit more private.

Rancho Pescadero : An adults-only property in Todos Santos centered on mindfulness and natural beauty, the Rancho Pescadero offers a "Joy of Living Well" package. (Enough said.) This deal takes a rest and relaxation approach, including a massage or treatment at the Botánica Spa, followed by a farm-to-table lunch for two at the restaurant on-site. There's also an apothecary component where couples can build their own bouquet or create their own essential oil blends.

Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort: Couples escaping to Cabo will appreciate the "Here's to the Honeymooners" package from this particular adults-only property. Newlyweds who book a stay of five or more nights will enjoy special decorations in their room upon arrival, as well as chilled sparkling wine. Early check-in and late check-out, as well as the possibility of room upgrades are also teased as part of the package. Plus, couples can repeat the experience with a free night stay on their first anniversary.

Imagine fields of provincial lavender, pure blue water against Cycladic Islands, and mounds of freshly-rolled pasta preluding an afternoon of boating along the Mediterranean. It's no surprise that couples adore an international getaway, especially when European honeymoon packages are involved.

France Honeymoon Packages

If you're looking for the Emily in Paris experience (sans the drama of the show), consider exploring France honeymoon packages along the French Riviera or the Normandy region. Considering the country is home to the world's finest gastronomy and wine, all you have to do is say "oui" to France.

Hôtel Plaza Athénée : Since 1913, the Hôtel Plaza Athénée has been the poster child for all things luxury and the epitome of Parisian chic. Here, rooms come dressed in rich silks, damask, rare woods and velvet—many with unparalleled views of the Eiffel Tower. Naturally, at a hotel so fine and in a city so well known for food, it's fitting that chef Alain Ducasse would oversee all of the hotel's food and beverage operations. The Romantic Offer package comes with a bottle of champagne and chocolates upon arrival, American breakfast for two, and access to the sauna and hammam in the Dior Spa.

Greece Honeymoon Packages

The white-washed walls and blue rooftops of Santorini and the otherworldly feeling of shipwrecked Zakynthos are just a few of the sightseeing opportunities for couples who want an Aegean getaway. Some Greece honeymoon packages are tailored to romance and aquatic adventure.

Abaton Island Resort & Spa : While most flock to the Cyclades when they head to Greece, why not stray from the crowd and visit the country's largest island instead? Abaton Island Resort & Spa is a quick 20-minute transfer from Crete's airport and its honeymoon suite—with a private pool, jacuzzi and sea views—is primed for a relaxing stay. Dinner and breakfast are included with the hotel's half-board option.

Andronis Feretti : The Andronis portfolio's unique package for its private yacht experience includes a half-day cruise around Santorini led by the captain of the boat and a crew member. Couples can enjoy refreshments and local wine, as well as other divine delicacies known to Greece. Lunch is served on board too. Plus, you'll head back to your suite after an enchanting day of sailing around the Aegean.

Iceland Honeymoon Packages

Drama is the word that comes to mind when considering Iceland honeymoon packages. Couples who dare to venture to the Nordic Island will be delighted by the landscape offerings across land, sea and sky. Naturally, an Icelandic experience should include a visit (or several) to a thermal spa, coupled with an outing to the Golden Circle. Pending priority, some iceland honeymoon packages may include a visit to the Tectonic Plates or involve a Northern Lights viewing experience.

The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland : The 62-suite hotel offers direct access to the Blue Lagoon, arguably one of the highest-visited tourist destinations in Iceland. Couples, however, will enjoy their own private section of the lagoon's healing thermal waters and access to its beloved clay masks. The "Romantic Getaway" package includes accommodations, welcome drinks, daily breakfast for two, welcome gifts, daily group yoga sessions, a four-course dinner at the Lava Restaraunt, and a seven-course tasting menu for two at the acclaimed Moss Restaurant. In addition, couples can choose between various treatments at the spa, while having unlimited access to the Retreat Spa, Retreat Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon–skincare amenities, included. Now how's that for an all-encompassing Iceland honeymoon package?

Italy Honeymoon Packages

Arguably one of the top global destinations for any form of romance (and carb consumption) is the Land of La Dolce Vita. While Italy honeymoon packages are a bit pricier than other international offerings, the country is known for its wellness amenities and focus on cultural exploration.

Preidlhof: The wellness resort in northern Italy has rejuvenation and romance on its radar with its very own Honeymoon & Wedding Anniversary Package. Couples can rest easy knowing Preidlhof is all-inclusive with fresh fare offered each day to guests. Package offerings include a specially-decorated suite upon arrival, welcome drinks, a designated "romance table" for dining, treatments for two at the spa, and one trip out to the local region in the resort's Fiat 500 for the true Italian experience.

Venturing far and Down Under, the South Pacific, Autralia and New Zealand are known for attracting adventurous honeymooners who dare to explore. The South Pacific contains some of the best honeymoon destinations, including Fiji and Tahiti. It's made up of clusters of intimate resorts, small peaceful villages and miles of quiet pristine beaches where honeymooners can post up in some seriously dreamy digs. The best time to travel to Fiji and French Polynesia is during the high season months of June to September, but New Zealand and Australia are best visited between December and March to catch the warm weather . Pending location, packages may include watersports or mountaintop excursions. Beauty is guaranteed no matter where you land.

Australia Honeymoon Packages

Head to the likes of Fiji or French Polynesia for overwater bungalows, or to New Zealand and Australia for a honeymoon immersed in nature. The following New Zealand and Australia honeymoon packages may spark multiple return visits.

Qualia : Known as one of the world's best resorts, you can't go wrong with a stay at Australia's qualia hotel. Sitting on 30 acres of native gardens, the hotel can be found on the northernmost tip of Hamilton Island and is the perfect base to explore the Great Barrier Reef. For your honeymoon, may we suggest the Heart Island Adventure package? This includes a four-night stay, a helicopter tour over the Great Barrier Reef and landing on Heart Island's helipad to spend some time snorkeling around the reef. Talk about a memory-maker.

Longitude 131˚ : For an all-inclusive honeymoon package that's as adventurous as it is scenic, opt for a stay at Longitude 131˚. Here, you can stay in one of the luxury tented domes or pavilion, each with bucket-list views of Australia's famed Uluru. Honeymooners should pick the Classic Uluru package for spa treatment credits and a guided walk to Uluru's base on top of your meals and drinks.

New Zealand Honeymoon Packages

Huka Lodge : After a luxury New Zealand honeymoon package? Look no further. Huka Lodge, nestled near the banks of the Waikato River in New Zealand's North Island, has just 20 guest suites (so you're bound to get some much-wanted privacy). The honeymoon package includes two nights, an hour-long couples spa treatment, flowers and chocolates on arrival, five-course evening meals in a private dining location as well as a full country breakfast.

Hapuku Lodge + Treehouses : Located above a deer farm in the South Island of New Zealand, Hapuku Lodge sits at the foot of the Kaikoura Seaward Mountain Range. A stay in one of its treehouses is such a unique honeymoon idea. Each treehouse has large windows that look across the canopy—best seen while relaxing in one of the deep-soak tubs. The honeymoon package includes three nights in one of the treehouses, a bottle of French champagne, organic chocolate, a three-course dinner each night (with a five-course, wine-paired dinner one night!) and a massage for each of the newlyweds. Sign us up.

Fiji Honeymoon Packages

Likuliku Lagoon Resort : No trip to Fiji is complete without a stay in one of its overwater bungalows (or as they say in Fiji, bures ). Likuliku Lagoon Resort's Celebration package is ideal for honeymoons as it includes an hour-long couples massage and a bottle of sparkling wine when you book a five-night stay. The room price includes all meals, bottled water and use of non-motorized water sports—but you'll likely spend most of your time here diving off your private deck into the crystalline waters, which are that dreamy!

Yasawa Island Resort & Spa : Located in the sunniest and driest part of Fiji, Yasawa Island Resort & Spa is the only resort on Yasawa Island—which means guests here have 10 private beaches all to themselves. The all-inclusive resort boasts just 18 luxury bure suites and the honeymoon bure is hidden at the end of a deserted white beach with a horizon pool. The price includes half-day trips to the famed Blue Lagoon Caves as well as guided snorkeling trips.

French Polynesia Honeymoon Packages

Bora Bora honeymoon packages are highly-desired with airline partners often partnering with resorts to help ease the burden of long-haul travel from the US.

Le Taha'a by Pearl Resorts : With the island of Taha'a on one side, Bora Bora on the other and crystal-clear Tahitian waters all around, a stay in one of this resort's overwater bungalows is the perfect romantic honeymoon spot. You can choose a half-board package here—we recommend the spa offer for daily breakfast and one traditional Taurumi Polynesian massage per person

There's so much to enjoy across Southeast Asia, especially for honeymooners seeking pristine beaches and culture. These regions provide the perfect combination of beauty, beaches and culture all in one romantic getaway. It's here that you'll find overwater bungalows galore (we're looking at you, Maldives). These bungalows are often perched above pristine waters, where honeymooners laze the day away on their daybed and take dips in the ocean via their private deck.

Maldives Honeymoon Packages

Thatched-roof, overwater bungalows with glass floors and utmost privacy are what most couples imagine when considering a Maldivian getaway. Most, however, walk away with far greater of an experience, especially if Maldives honeymoon packages are properly arranged well in advance.

Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island : To get to the Maldives, most couples from the US will have to experience a layover or two (often a prerequisite before landing at a fine destination worth visiting). Jumeirah is offering its dual-trip stopover package, which includes a two-night stay at the iconic Burj Al Arab in Dubai. Couples can get situated in the lap of luxury before flying to the Maldives, where they'll then enjoy four nights at the new Jumeirah property on Olhahali Island.

The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island : Arguably one of the most well-known properties in the region, the Conrad Maldives is located right along the South Ari Atoll. With 12 restaurants and bars, including the all-glass undersea restaurant Ithaa, as well as two spas, couples can find their ultimate honeymoon bliss. Specific packages for honeymooners are reserved, including private jet ski outings and more arranged by the concierge team. Inquire upon booking.

Huvafen Fushi Maldives : If you prefer your bungalow to come with its own private plunge pool, you're looking in the right place. At Huvafen Fushi Maldives, it feels as if it's just you, your new spouse and the fish (you'll see them via the glass floor in the Ocean Bungalow rooms). Honeymooners love the underwater spa, and a 60-minute treatment comes included in the resort's Romance package, which also includes a bottle of champagne and chocolate-dipped fruits on arrival, daily breakfast (and one floating breakfast), a private four-course candlelit dinner and complimentary snorkeling equipment.

Honeymooning stateside can be totally romantic. Be it a northern lights camp, a lush resort or a private island hotel, there are loads of options and vast lands to explore in the United States. Florida, a beach-lover's favorite, offers oceanside cottages that feel as if you've been transported to the South Pacific. And of course, there's Hawaii: a cluster of islands that's practically synonymous with jet-setting honeymoons—complete with fragrant floral leis, tropical mai tais, hula dancing, and some of the finest US honeymoon packages. Those who want more of an active, outdoorsy honeymoon should look north to Alaska for breathtakingly beautiful scenery. According to The Knot Honeymoon Study, approximately half of all couples in 2022 chose to honeymoon in the US. Considering the breadth of experiences and options available to newlyweds, it's a fair choice.

Alaska Honeymoon Packages

If the Northern Lights, wildlife sightings and fresh seafood are among your bucket-list items for the honeymoon, then an Alaska honeymoon package will serve you well.

Borealis Basecamp : Just 25 miles from Fairbanks, Alaska, Borealis Basecamp sits on 100 acres of boreal forest—but the real draw here is its clear-topped domes where honeymooners can watch the northern lights dance above them while snuggled up in bed. There are various autumn and winter packages available and, depending on which one you choose, activities such as an Alaskan dog sledding tour and meeting reindeer.

Stillpoint Lodge : At the foot of Kachemak Bay State Park, get lost in the remarkable Alaskan wilderness with a stay at Stillpoint Lodge. There are several packages to choose from here—we like the look of the Adventure package or the Nature & Nurture package for your honeymoon. Each package includes organic meals, one spa treatment per person and various activities like brown bear watching and guided eco-tours.

Florida Honeymoon Packages

The peninsula is home to some of the most luxe resorts in the US, which means Florida honeymoon packages offer romance and amenities.

The Faena Hotel Miami Beach : The five-star property with prime beach access in Miami oozes romance. The Faena's "Suite Dreams" package includes two complimentary treatments at the spa, daily breakfast for two at the Poolside Veranda, a $200 resort credit, butler service for only certain suite tiers, early check-in and late check-out, complimentary valet parking, a welcome amenity, and a complimentary rollaway bed or crib (in case a little one is involved). Oh–and did we mention the suites are, indeed, a dream?

Little Palm Island Resort & Spa : This honeymoon resort may be located in Little Torch Key, Florida, but it feels more like the South Pacific. Accessible only by boat or seaplane, this oasis is plopped on a 5.5-acre private reserve and allows no more than 60 guests at one time. Here, thatched-roof private bungalows come equipped with private verandas, outdoor showers and beds draped in gauzy butterfly netting—but they're void of phones and television. The Culinary Paradise package will delight foodies with its welcome bottle of champagne, daily breakfast, three-course lunch, four-course dinner and $100 spa credit per person, per day.

Hawaii Honeymoon Packages

Hawaii honeymoon packages are a must-consider for couples who want to indulge in all that the Aloha State has to offer. Between Maui's world-class resorts and Kauai's adventure offerings, there's no need to secure a visa when honeymooning in this domestic paradise.

The Westin Maui: Nestled right along a prime oceanfront area of Ka'anapali Beach, the resort's "Love Travels" package comes with accommodations in the renovated Hokupa'a luxury tower, which gives couples immediate access to the Lanai lounge. There, romance awaits with a private bar, plunge pool, daily breakfast and evening cocktails and demonstrations. The package also includes a signature couple's massage and dinner at the acclaimed restaurant Waicoco.

Koʻa Kea Resort on Poipu Beach : Poipu Beach is where the honeymooners flock for romance and gently lapping waves that crest on golden sand. Koʻa Kea's " Master of Moons " package is custom-tailored per couple as honeymoons have evolved into familymoons, bestiemoons and more. Booking include romantic experiences like candlelit dinners, sunset cruises, oceanfront massages at the spa, as well as horseback riding along the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail. Depending on the level of your package, you can also request a honeymoon photoshoot to document the gorgeous experience.

Las Vegas Honeymoon Packages

Foodies and nightlife-adoring couples who like variety will appreciate Las Vegas honeymoon packages. Consider the casinos and entertainment options as added amenities, though the F&B credits will especially do the trick.

The Venetian Resort: One of the higher-end properties in Sin City easily offers romance at every turn, especially with its views of Vegas, as well as its fine dining scene. Costco's package for suites , however, is one that should be seriously considered among couples who desire daily food and beverage credits, as well as complimentary parking.

9 Reasons Why Cruises Are Perfect for Honeymoons

If you’re wondering if going on a cruise for your honeymoon is a good idea, the following reasons to go on a honeymoon cruise will certainly take away any doubts you may have.

1. No Stress

A honeymoon should be all about winding down after a hectic few weeks (or months) before your wedding. After the “I dos”, the cake-cutting, the hand-shaking and the party, it’s time for you to destress and unwind.

One of the best reasons to go on a honeymoon cruise is that this is one of the most stress-free ways of traveling. Everything’s available on board, from entertainment to spa treatments, from fine dining to activities. And the beauty of all of this is that nearly everything is included in the price.

If you plan well—another aspect of the wedding planning process is actually planning a honeymoon—, there will be no need to pay for anything at all during your time aboard the ship. This makes it easy to budget your honeymoon, eliminating the need to check your bank account balances during your trip. No stress, indeed!

2. Multiple Destinations

Many people choose to visit one particular destination or region on their honeymoon. Paris, Venice, Bali, Hawaii,… we all know the classic romantic and/or beach destinations. However, what sets a honeymoon cruise apart from all other honeymoon is that it offers you the chance to visit multiple destinations, conveniently and easily.

Whether you’re cruising the Mediterranean, the South Pacific or the Caribbean , essentially all modern cruise ships call at various different ports. This results in the perfect combination of onboard relaxation and onshore exploration. A honeymoon cruise offers both cultural immersion in multiple cities and sunbathing by the pool. Again, there’s zero stress involved here.

3. No Need to Keep Packing/Unpacking

This may be rather obvious, but it’s also worth reminding you of. On a cruise, while you’re visiting several awesome places, you will only have to unpack and pack once .

From the moment you’re settled in your cabin or suite, it will be your home for the rest of the cruise. It’ll be a cozy retreat and a welcome refuge, a place to relax and a place of romance. A honeymoon cruise allows you to basically stay in the same place, while visiting different places.

4. Food’s Included

Many cruise lines offer all-inclusive programs. This means that pretty much everything is included in the price. This includes onshore excursions, nightly entertainment, onboard activities and all food. If you do some research, you can also find cruises where alcohol is included as well.

This makes cruises one of the most economic types of honeymoons you can possibly have. It greatly reduces, if not eliminates, your expenses during the entire trip. Note, though, that some onboard features, such as many spa treatments and Internet access, and most independent onshore activities aren’t included in the price. Tips usually aren’t either.

5. All Kinds of Activities

It’s impossible to get bored on a cruise ship. It just can’t be done. Nowadays, these floating cities feature an overwhelming selection of amenities and offer countless activities. On the ship, you can visit a movie theater, catch a theater performance, go swimming, enjoy world-class cuisine, work out at the gym, relax in a park-like environment, grab a cup of coffee at a waterfront café,… The list goes on and on and on. It’s literally like staying in a town.

Many of the largest cruise ships have things like water parks and slides, zip lines and rock climbing walls, skydiving simulators, lush gardens and even moving platforms that change from breakfast place in the morning to party hotspot in the evening.

6. Room Service

You’re newlyweds and you’ll probably spend quite a lot of time in your room—let’s be honest. So, one of the greatest reasons to go on an honeymoon cruise is the 24/7 room service.

There’s no need to leave your room if you don’t want to. You could spend literally the entire day in there. If you get hungry, you simply call room service. Both food and delivery are included in the price. Gratuity, however, is recommended. How convenient is that?

7. Couples Massages

A couples massage may be one of the greatest and most romantic ways to relax after the wedding. Doing this on your first day aboard the ship is a wonderful way to kick off your honeymoon. It’s good to know, though, that you have to pay extra for these kinds of treatments as they’re probably not included in the all-inclusive program.

8. Limitless Date Night Options

One of the most fun things to do as a couple is date nights, no question about that. During a honeymoon cruise, you’ll have a plethora of options.

While cruises are mainly about relaxation and fun, they can also be packed with action and activities. You make them what you want them to be. There’s so much to do in the evening that you’ll have difficulty choosing what to do. Besides romantic dinners and cocktails in the bars, there are magic shows, movie screenings, live music performances, stand-up comedy shows and live theater. And all of it is free!

9. Disconnection

A honeymoon should be about you two, and you two only. Cruises often have no, or at best weak, cell phone reception, while Wi-Fi is usually pretty expensive. This does not need to be a bad thing, though, rather the contrary.

Not being able to easily connect with the rest of the online world allows you to be in the moment with your significant other. There will be no distractions. One of the best reasons to go on a honeymoon cruise is that it’s arguably the only way of honeymooning that forces you to “unplug”. This, of course, focuses all of your attention on the other, which is a pretty great thing.

The Mediterranean is more than a destination; it’s a journey through time.

There’s nothing quite like the laid-back allure of the Caribbean, making it a top choice for honeymoon cruises . Imagine yourselves on a sun-kissed beach, the rhythms of reggae or salsa in the background, sipping on cocktails as the sun sets over crystal-clear waters.

The region’s rich culture, vibrant flavors, and stunning natural beauty make each destination a unique chapter in your honeymoon story, filled with fun, relaxation, and romance.

What Makes a Cruise Line Ideal for Couples?

Unique Shore Excursions Tailored for Couples

The best cruise lines arrange one-of-a-kind shore tours specifically for couples, allowing them to explore breathtaking vistas, partake in local cultures, and create unforgettable memories together. Imagine walking hand-in-hand through ancient ruins, sharing a traditional meal in a quaint coastal village, or even experiencing a thrilling adventure like zip-lining through rainforests together. These unique activities aren’t just trips on land; they’re shared narratives that’ll enrich your love story.

Romantic Onboard Amenities

Beyond the standard offerings, exceptional cruise lines provide amenities that turn up the romance dial. Consider options for private dinners under the stars , exclusive to honeymooners, where you can enjoy gourmet meals while surrounded by the ocean’s gentle breeze and the moon’s soft glow. Look for cruise lines offering couples’ spa treatments, allowing you and your partner to unwind and bask in relaxation together. Additionally, privacy is paramount; opt for ships offering private balcony suites, ensuring you can enjoy the vast sea’s beauty without interruption.

Romantic Packages

Many cruise lines offer romantic packages that take an ordinary trip and make it extraordinary. These could include surprises like roses and sparkling wine waiting in your room upon arrival, cabin breakfasts for a lazy, cozy morning together, or even romantic dinners at the captain’s table. Some packages also provide professional photo sessions, capturing your moments against the stunning backdrop of the sea or a picturesque port.

Intimate Settings

While huge cruise ships have their allure, smaller, more intimate ships often cater better to a romantic atmosphere. Fewer passengers mean more privacy and personalized attention. The ambiance tends to be quieter, and more relaxed, perfect for couples wanting to escape the bustle.

Adults-Only Options

For honeymooners seeking tranquility away from the pitter-patter of little feet, adults-only cruises or adults-only sections within a cruise ship can be ideal. These settings ensure that the onboard atmosphere stays serene and conducive to romantic connections. Some cruise lines, like Virgin Voyages, even offer an adults-only solarium for ultimate peace.

Enriching Activities for Two

Engaging in activities together can strengthen bonds. Select cruises offer classes like cooking, dancing , or wine-tasting, encouraging couples to learn and grow together. Whether it’s stargazing from the deck or attending a live show, shared experiences foster deeper connections.

Customized Experiences

The ability to customize is a luxury. From choosing your onboard luxuries to planning shore tours, having the option to tailor your experience means your honeymoon is uniquely yours, resonating with your personal love story.

Extended Stays and Overnights in Port Cities

Some cruise lines offer extended stays in ports, allowing couples to explore and experience destinations more deeply than a few hurried hours. Overnight stays offer a taste of the local nightlife and the opportunity for unexpected adventures.

All-Inclusive Luxury

For a worry-free voyage , all-inclusive cruises are perfect. They eliminate the hassle of additional costs, covering dining, beverages, and sometimes excursions, letting you focus on each other without worrying about expenses.

The Best Cruise Lines for Couples

How Do I Plan a Honeymoon Cruise?

Picking the perfect destination.

Your honeymoon is an extension of your love story, so the backdrop should be a place that sparks joy for both of you. Whether you’re sun-seekers longing for Caribbean warmth or adventurers yearning for Alaskan wilds, choose a locale that sings to your souls. This is the canvas on which you’ll paint your first memories as a married duo.

The Stateroom

Now, let’s talk about your seafaring home away from home: the stateroom . This isn’t just any room; it’s a love nest! Options range from cozy interiors to lavish suites with private balconies . Consider splurging a bit since you’ll be sharing intimate moments and creating cherished memories in this space. Imagine waking up to the sound of waves and the sight of endless horizons from the privacy of your balcony – pure bliss!

Make Reservations

As your departure date approaches, you’ll want to make reservations. From specialty restaurants to spa treatments, don’t leave things to chance. Book in advance to avoid the heartache of missed opportunities. Secure a table for two at that fancy onboard restaurant or ensure you have a spot for a couples massage. These shared experiences will only enrich your journey.

Enhance the Romance

Speaking of enriching your journey, remember to enhance the romance! Sure, the cruise itself is romantic, but adding little extras can amplify the love tenfold. Order breakfast in bed , schedule a surprise delivery of chocolate-covered strawberries, or even arrange for a vow renewal ceremony onboard. It’s these personal touches that transform great trips into unforgettable experiences.

Get the Perfect Picture

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so ensure you get the perfect picture. Whether it’s a selfie during golden hour or a professional photoshoot arranged by the cruise line, document your love . These photos will be a gateway back to this time of unbridled joy.

Explore the Ship

During your voyage, take time to explore the ship. Each cruise ship is a world unto itself, offering a plethora of activities and hidden corners to discover. From art galleries to dance floors, from climbing walls to quiet libraries, make the most of what’s on offer. After all, the ship is not just transportation; it’s part of the destination.

Packing Essentials

In the spirit of practicality, let’s touch on packing essentials for couples . Pack smart – bring attire for formal nights, swimsuits for the pool, and comfortable gear for excursions. But also remember the extras that escalate fun – think matching outfits or sexy ensembles that make your partner’s heart race.

In conclusion, planning your honeymoon cruise is undeniably about balancing logistics with romance. It’s crucial to consider your personal interests, the activities you both desire, and, of course, your budget. Yet, amidst all the planning, never lose sight of the heart of this journey: celebrating your union.

Choose a honeymoon experience that you’ll not just enjoy, but one you’ll remember for a lifetime . After all, this is more than a holiday; it’s the maiden voyage of your lifelong journey together. So, set your sights on the horizon, and embark on an adventure that mirrors the magnificence of your love.

Practical Tips for Planning Your Cruise Honeymoon

Ask for a honeymoon package on your cruise.

It never hurts to ask, so we recommend calling the cruise line or booking directly for the best honeymoon cruise packages. You’d be surprised how many great honeymoon cruise deals you can find along the way. 

Which Cruise Line is best for a Honeymoon? It’s tough to say, as so many cruise lines have perfected the art of hospitality and helping you celebrate your big day. Many even have honeymoon registries for your friends and family to pitch in for drinks or entertainment. 

But we think the honeymoon packages by Princess are hard to beat. Prices start at $299 and include spa time, champagne, and a balcony breakfast. 

Ready to book? We don’t blame you.

Look for Honeymoon Cruises with All-Inclusive Deals

It’s not just honeymooners that can take advantage of significant savings with all-inclusive cruise packages.

Finding great honeymoon cruise deals can also happen when you book your dining and drinks with the price of your room. So look at all-inclusive options when you plan your honeymoon at sea.

Pick a Departure Point You Prefer

Because cruise ports are always on the water (let us know if you find one that’s not), you’ll want to research what city you’re docking in and out of.

Pick a location that’s easy for you to fly in and out of, or better yet – one you can drive to if you’re lucky enough to live by the sea. 

Come up With a Game Plan

A cruise honeymoon is one of a kind. It’s unique because you can pack in so many activities on and off the boat. 

Come up with a few ideas about what you want to fit in before you leave. We suggest looking at the cruise itinerary and amenities before boarding, so you can discuss a few items that you can’t miss.

The Caribbean: treasure your time together

Turquoise waters, swaying palms, secluded white-sand beaches: this is bliss. It’s no wonder the Caribbean is our top destination for weddings, honeymooners and couples just craving an escape. With over 30 island ports to choose from, the two of you can sightsee, snorkel, shop… or, yes, just lounge side-by-side. Because sometimes the most romantic thing you can do together is nothing at all.

The Mediterranean: timeless places, priceless moments

Where will you write the next chapters of your love story? Swimming Corfu’s sparkling waters; cozied up in a Venetian gondola; people-watching in a Paris café; biking the Tuscan hills; or strolling the streets of Rome? Let the destination experts take you to these enchanting settings. You two can take it from there. When you share the world with the one you love, you create memories to share forever.

Hawaii: Paradise found

It’s just the two of you – discovering a hidden waterfall, strolling a black-sand beach under a scarlet sunset, gazing up at a billion gleaming stars. You’re not dreaming. You’re in Maui or Kauai on a relaxing, romantic Princess vacation. Lose yourselves in the natural wonders of Hawaii and you’ll find the true meaning of Paradise: experiencing the perfect place with that special person.

When it comes to a honeymoon, most couples want the trip of a lifetime made easy. Planning a wedding can be exhausting, and an all-inclusive honeymoon is a simple way to relax, unwind, and enjoy a memorable trip with your new partner without having to overthink things.

Certain destinations offer all-inclusive options more than others. Finding an all-inclusive honeymoon property in the Caribbean is simple, but other destinations aren’t as rife with choice. However, if you look hard enough, some all-inclusive properties exist in destinations like the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

These are some of our favorite all-inclusive honeymoon packages and resorts where you won’t have to worry about a thing and can enjoy a relaxing and romantic honeymoon.

The Jade Mountain Resort in St. Lucia is one of our top choices for a honeymoon in the Caribbean . The 600-acre resort overlooks the spectacular Pitons and Caribbean Sea.

Many of the suites feature private infinity pools and offer panoramic views of the dazzling scenery, as well as Molton Brown bath amenities and 24-hour butler service. It’s a true escape: There are no televisions, radios, or telephones in the suites, and guests are encouraged to avoid using their cell phones in public areas and keep them on vibrate.

The property offers in-suite spa treatments or the option to visit the Kai en Ciel Spa , with special couples treatments that include a couples hot tub session followed by massages. Guests can also join in on complimentary yoga classes or guided walks on the property’s expansive landscape or book private couples sessions.

Cuisine is headed up by James Beard Award Winner Chef Allen Susser, who runs the Jade Mountain Club Restaurant . Honeymooners can dine on Caribbean fusion dishes to the tune of live music and entertainment. Besides the resort’s own organic farm , it has more than 2,000 cocoa trees on the estate, so indulging in dessert is a must — couples can even participate in chocolate-making workshops.

Our choice for honeymooners is the Total Romance Package , which includes accommodation, meals, drinks, airport transfers, and other perks, amenities, and benefits such as spa treatments and activities. A fifth-night free Total Romance Package may be available in certain room categories. Nightly all-inclusive rates for the package start at $1,795 per night per couple.

Every room at The Caves is distinct and unique, from the Ocean View Cottages that practically dangle over the ocean’s edge to the Blue Hole View Suite, where you can admire the Blue Hole, an ocean cave entrance, from your very own verandah.

The one-of-a-kind hotel is worlds away from the typical, cookie-cutter all-inclusive resort, featuring around 15 colorful cottages . It’s perfect for honeymooners who want to hole up in tranquil seclusion and appreciate rustic, local charm.

From private cave dining overlooking the sea to guided cliff diving (yes, the property boasts a “cliff diving expert”), there’s something for every type of couple to enjoy. Honeymooners can relax at the pool, spa, Jacuzzi, or sauna, or enjoy nightly entertainment , from live bands to drum shows.

Expect locally sourced produce and delicious meals at The Caves and all sorts of dining options — think authentic Jamaican jerk chicken but also more refined candlelit dinners and breakfasts with local flavors, such as banana pancakes and fresh-squeezed watermelon juice.

All-inclusive rates for 2 start at $560 per night.

If you’re looking for an all-inclusive package with flights, you may want to speak with a travel agent affiliated with Virtuoso to bundle everything together (we recommend UP’s own Leigh Rowan !). Taking a cruise is another easy honeymoon option if you’d prefer to have everything catered for you — our top picks are MSC , Viking , Crystal , and Princess .

Punta Cana has several all-inclusive resorts within the Hyatt portfolio, but our top pick is the Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana , a relatively new, adults-only all-inclusive resort on the shores of the pristine Juanillo Beach.

It feels like the hotel was made for honeymooners, a chic property that boasts floating swim-up suites and beachfront infinity pools . Guests who aren’t usually fans of the sometimes repetitive all-inclusive dining experience may never have to eat the same thing twice, as the Hyatt Zilara has 25 different restaurants and bars . Dining options include a Mongolian grill, Italian trattoria, and coffee lounge.

Guests can enjoy treatments at the nearly 27,000-square-foot underground cave spa , including a hydrotherapy circuit and an outdoor oasis lagoon. If you get bored of all the relaxing, dining, and spending time with your new partner, you can always indulge your inner child at the Canopolis Water Park at the neighboring Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana property. The hotel even has its own romance concierge that can help coordinate romantic extras like private beach dinners or couples massages.

All-inclusive room rates for 2 at the Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana start at $590 or 35,000 World of Hyatt points per night.

Fan of the Hyatt Zilara resorts? Here’s everything you need to know about Hyatt Zilara properties. Got kids? You may prefer a Hyatt Ziva property such as the Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana, the Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana’s sister resort. And if you’re short on World of Hyatt points for a Punta Cana points-inspired honeymoon , consider The World of Hyatt Credit Card . Or, get credit cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve ® or Chase Sapphire Preferred ® Card , where Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer 1:1 to the World of Hyatt program.

Couples who want to escape the hustle and bustle of Cancún’s lively hotel zone should opt for the more serene, exotic escape to the Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera . This Hyatt property is located on one of the Yucatan Peninsula’s most beautiful stretches of crystalline sand between Cancún and Playa del Carmen.

Although the adults-only, all-inclusive property is large (with more than 400 rooms), and the suites feel peaceful, chic, and intimate, thanks to the infusion of natural wood and private balconies that overlook the turquoise sea. Relax by the infinity pools by day and lounge by the beach-facing firepits at night, and choose from 6 different restaurants for dining.

Honeymooners should pay a visit to the 13,000-square-foot Secrets Spa by Pevonia , which has treatment rooms, a hydrotherapy circuit, a sauna, a steam room, a juice bar, and special couples’ packages that include facials, massages, and hydrotherapy sessions.

All-inclusive room rates start at $570 or 25,000 World of Hyatt points per night. It may be worth booking one of the swim-up suites or upgrading to a Club Room Package, which includes access to the Preferred Club Lounge, personalized check-in and checkout, and other perks and benefits.

This particular all-inclusive resort offers what many of the other resorts on this list (especially the Caribbean ones) do: beachfront luxury. But details set The House by Elegant Hotels apart from the others. The intimate, 34-suite property offers coveted honeymooner perks like Champagne breakfast, a 30-minute complimentary jet-lag massage upon arrival, yoga classes, afternoon tea, non-motorized water sports, and personalized ambassador service — all for free.

Suites include oceanfront or garden view balconies , French doors, custom wood furniture, marble bathrooms, and espresso machines. The Spa at The House has a special room dedicated to couples’ treatments, and the spa has its own bespoke scent , so you can forever associate it with your honeymoon. The scent blends gardenia, neroli, petitgrain, and sweet orange essential oils. The hotel is located on a stunning, exotic stretch of white sand, complete with plush loungers and umbrellas to enjoy the seafront in the utmost luxury.

With various dining options, guests have plenty of moments to hide away for what feels like a private meal. From the aforementioned Champagne breakfast and afternoon tea to private beachfront dining, in-room meals, and evening canapes, you can eat whenever you feel like it.

All-inclusive room rates for 2 start at $578 per night or 79,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

Honeymooners looking for Michelin-quality meals (yes, at an all-inclusive!) and oceanfront luxury should stay at the Grand Velas Los Cabos , a hotel that repeatedly appears on best and top lists as a top hotel in Mexico and worldwide.

Although the hotel isn’t adults-only, there are adults-only dedicated spaces throughout the property, including an adults-only infinity pool that overlooks the crashing waves of the Sea of Cortez . All 307 suites at the all-suite hotel come with ocean views, and some offer private plunge pools, while others are adults-only suites that come with amenities like a terrace, Jacuzzi, exercise bike, aromatherapy kits, and more.

Diners have much to choose from, as cuisine is a focus at Grand Velas. From Mexican and French offerings to a 10-course tasting menu at Cocina de Autor , a restaurant led by chef Sidney Schutte (whose restaurant Spectrum received 2 Michelin stars), honeymooners can enjoy romantic and varied meals at Grand Velas.

The 35,000-square-foot SE Spa focuses on Mexican healing rituals, elements, and ceremonies to rejuvenate and revive. Couples can enjoy multi-sensory water experiences and couples-centric treatments such as the Meeting of Two Souls Ritual , which focuses on aromatherapy, massage, and connection.

All-inclusive room rates at the Grand Velas Los Cabos start at $1,295 per night per couple.

The Hilton Playa del Carmen is an adults-only, all-inclusive, all-suite property that includes everything honeymooners could ever want. Besides the typical room, food, and drinks, a stay at this property includes cooking demonstrations and tequila mixology moments, Zumba and dance classes, live entertainment, in-suite room service, oceanfront dining, fully-stocked minibars, and daily activities.

Suites feature jetted tubs, floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies with sea or garden views, and marble bathrooms (some are even swim-up). Some suite categories also come with private pool cabanas included. The hotel also wins in swimming pools, with an Olympic-size freshwater pool, a relaxation pool, and an oceanfront pool complete with activities.

The Innan Spa offers dedicated couples rituals , such as a Mayan Temazcal Ritual, a cleansing and bonding escape, or the Relax Experience, which includes water circuits, a massage, and chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Honeymooners can also speak with the hotel’s special romance concierge to organize a special Mexico honeymoon all-inclusive package (or even a destination wedding) at the hotel. Room rates for 2 start at $330 or 89,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

It can be difficult to find an all-inclusive resort in the U.S., but if you’re on the hunt for an all-inclusive Florida honeymoon package, look no further than Little Palm Island Resort & Spa . The adults-only private island escape feels almost Maldivian or Bahamian, as you can arrive at the island’s white sands and clear waters by private seaplane or boat. Located just below the Florida Keys, the resort’s thatched bungalows feature amenities like outdoor soaking tubs, lounge beds, and private fire pits.

Little Palm’s main restaurant has been repeatedly voted one of the best hotel restaurants in Florida and is led by chef Brandan Mica. However, guests can also request in-room dining and private beach dinners.

We’re partial to the resort’s Romantic Embrace Package . With this package, your bungalow will be covered with candles and flower petals, and you can expect Champagne, chef’s treats, and breakfast in bed. Plan to add on the SpaTerre’s Romance Package , which includes a couple’s massage, Sundarya bath, Sundarya polish, and heart chakra ritual.

All-inclusive room rates for the Romantic Embrace Package for 2 start at $2,999 per night (the spa package is at an additional cost).

Staying at a boutique hotel for your honeymoon can be especially romantic, especially in the Florida Keys. These are our top picks for the best boutique hotels in the Florida Keys .

Couples ready for something a little different than the more traditional sun-and-sand honeymoon should consider the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle in northern Thailand. This exotic, eco-friendly escape to a verdant, hilly wonderland makes for a” glamping ” experience unlike any other.

Nature lovers will love being in the heart of the jungle, while animal enthusiasts will love the ethical interactions with elephants . Choose from lodging options like luxury tents overlooking the lush, wild flora or the Explorers Lodge, which has amenities like a private pool. But remember, glamping isn’t camping, so you’ll be far from roughing it. Tents offer opulent amenities like handcrafted soaking tubs and outdoor showers. Guests can also indulge in treatments at the Wara Cheewa Spa, stroll through the charming herb and vegetable garden, or bike around the property and its natural surroundings.

The resort’s Adventure Packages are perfect for honeymooners, including meals and experiences. Our top pick is the 4-night Adventure Package , which includes 2 separate elephant experiences, a 90-minute spa treatment for 2, a temple tour of Chiang Rai, a cultural experience, meals and drinks (including wine), a private sundowner, a wine and cheese experience, and roundtrip airport transfers between the Chiang Rai airport and the resort. Adventure Package rates for 2 start around $2,600 per night.

Getting to and from Thailand may seem daunting, but our guide to the best ways to fly to Southeast Asia can help.

This adults-only hideaway is ideal for honeymooners looking for a peaceful spa escape not too far from home. The Lake Austin Spa Resort in Texas has just 40 rooms, each decorated uniquely, complete with amenities like lake views, hot tubs, or private gardens.

Daily activities include paddleboarding clinics on the lake, guided hikes, fitness and yoga classes, culinary and cocktail classes, access to water items like kayaks and hydro bikes, and pool and spa access. The resort can also curate special couples activities , including a private boat charter, forest bathing, starlight paddling, paddle and picnic outings, and more.

Rates for 2 start at $1,081 per night, including 3 meals per day, refreshments, and access to the 25,000-square foot LakeHouse Spa , including its pools, saunas, Jacuzzis, gardens, steam rooms, plus experiences and activities. Spa treatments are at an additional cost.

For a luxurious all-inclusive honeymoon in Mexico , Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos in Los Cabos prides itself on offering true opulence in an easy package where guests don’t have to worry about a thing. Expect amenities like fine dining, modern ocean-view rooms, butler service, top-shelf liquor, fitness classes, and complimentary hydrotherapy.

Suites feature freestanding tubs, Bvlgari bath amenities, Lavazza coffee makers, a welcome bottle of tequila , and some have postcard-perfect views of the Sea of Cortez or direct pool access. The best accommodation choice for honeymooners is definitely the Royale Honeymoon Suite Ocean View , which offers romantic ocean views and details like nightly petit fours.

Activities include TRX, aquatic fitness classes, yoga, pilates, and spinning, and the hotel can organize excursions ideal for honeymooners, such as luxury sailing, whale watching, and private dinners and tastings events.

The Le Blanc Spa is a treat for the senses, starting with the tranquil relaxation and hydrotherapy areas, which inspire honeymooners to unwind and connect. And dining is a focus, not an afterthought, at this all-inclusive resort. Cuisine options include Japanese, Italian, French, and Middle Eastern . Guests can even get craft cocktails at the bar.

Room rates for 2 start at $916 per night, and rates for the Royale Honeymoon Suite Ocean View start at $1,116 per night based on double occupancy.

If you’re looking for that quintessential honeymoon escape — exotic sands, overwater bungalows, and a true escape to paradise — look no further than the Maldives . Planning a trip to the Maldives may seem simple, as there are several luxury resorts to choose from. But the Maldives aren’t quite like a honeymoon in Europe or even the Caribbean. Once you’ve taken a seaplane to a private island , you’re likely there for the remainder of your stay. You want to ensure your resort is one where you’re excited to spend all your time. Choosing an all-inclusive package is the way to go, as drinks and meals at the hotel can add up fast.

Enter the Constance Moofushi Resort , located on the South Ari Atoll in the midst of lagoons and a coral garden. Divers and snorkelers can head underwater at the house reef, go boating, golf, or do private wine tastings. The hotel caters to honeymooners by decking out guest rooms with romantic details or offering special couples’ experiences , like private dining or a movie on the beach.

Your toughest choice will be deciding between an overwater villa or a beach villa — you really can’t go wrong with either. The 2 restaurants and 2 bars offer guests varied cuisine options, whether you want to feel the sand between your toes as you snack or prefer something a bit more highbrow. And honeymooners must visit the overwater spa, which offers a Couples Connect package that melds body and skincare treatments with private relaxation time and spa cocktails.

All-inclusive room rates based on double occupancy start at $1,055 for a sand villa and $1,116 for a water villa per night.

Couples that want a relaxing, private, and rejuvenating spa escape while enjoying the vast Sonoran landscape should consider a visit to Miraval Arizona , an adults-only hideaway where the serenity of the cacti-covered mountains perfectly intertwines with a variety of romantic and reflective activities and treatments.

The Unlimited Package includes all meals, snacks, coffee, smoothies, and non-alcoholic beverages, transportation to/from the airport, a large number of daily activities, and a $175 nightly credit that can be used for spa treatments, private sessions, or fee-based activities.

From tofu scramble and avocado toast for breakfast to squash curry and beef tenderloin for dinner, dining options are healthy, hearty, and designed for those seeking culinary wellness. Activities are also where this resort shines, with many options for couples to connect and spend quality time together. Participate in activities like equine therapy, spiritual drumming, beekeeping, crystal therapy, wine astrology, and so much more.

The Life in Balance Spa is another area where Miraval Arizona shines . With unique treatments like Vasudhara water therapy or Qi Awakening and more traditional treatments like couples massages and skincare rituals, honeymooners are spoiled for choice.

Unlimited Package rates start at $1,300 or 57,500 World of Hyatt points per night for 2.

Honeymooners with a stash of World of Hyatt points can redeem them at Miraval properties , including Miraval Arizona. However, Miraval also has its own loyalty program called Miraval Authentic Circle .

This 74-acre paradise is an exclusive escape in the British Virgin Islands for the ultimate private island, all-inclusive luxury honeymoon. Owned by the one and only Richard Branson, the only place to stay on the island is the 48-room Necker Island Resort throughout its different outcrops: The Great House, Bali Lo Complex, Bali High Complex, and Temple House.

We’re partial to the Bali High Complex, specifically the Bali Cliff Suite, which invites privacy and intimacy thanks to its location on the cliff’s edge , complete with an outdoor shower, bathroom, and private plunge pool. However, you can’t go wrong with any of the accommodations offering stunning tropical views.

This is the island to visit if you’re really looking for privacy. There are no other resorts on the island, so you can expect a tranquil, magical escape from pretty much everything. However, there’s still much to do — tennis, kitesurfing, wakeboarding, swimming, viewing wildlife like flamingos and tortoises, or relaxing by the pool, at the beach, or in a hammock.

All-inclusive rates (accommodation, meals, drinks, and water sports equipment) for the Bali Cliff start at $7,000 per night. Specific dates of the year cater to adults only and may be better for honeymooners. If money is no object, you can rent the entire island out, whether for you and your partner or with all your family and friends, for $134,500. Rates increase to $140,000 in 2024. It is also possible to redeem Virgin Points for a stay at Necker Island .

The idyllic 25-acre Ikos Dassia sits on the island of Corfu, perfect for guests who want to enjoy peaceful intimacy at the hotel but also want to explore the local delights of Corfu. Although the resort isn’t adults-only, honeymooners can opt for more private room options like the garden bungalows or the deluxe beachfront suites, which have amenities like private gardens or pools.

Stays at Ikos Dassia include on-site Michelin-star and oceanview dining and the coveted dine-out program, where guests can dine at local restaurants as part of the all-inclusive plan . Guests also get free entrance to various cultural sites and museums in Corfu.

Honeymooners don’t have to forgo fitness while at Ikos Dassia, with classes like yoga, pilates, cardio, TRX, and aqua aerobics classes. The hotel also features basketball courts, tennis courts, and beach volleyball. There’s also the Ikos Spa by Anne Senomin Paris , which has an indoor heated pool and a sauna.

All-inclusive room rates based on double occupancy start at $420 per night, while suites and bungalows start at around $600 per night.

An all-inclusive honeymoon can make your life easier , especially if you’re busy planning a wedding and don’t have much time to research and organize activities and dining in your chosen honeymoon destination. It’s ideal for couples who want privacy and relaxation in a beautiful setting. Consider one of these all-inclusive resorts and packages from Thailand to Mexico or Texas to make your honeymoon extra special.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the best honeymoon package.

The best honeymoon package varies depending on your interests, budget, and location. If you love the beach, the best honeymoon package may be an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean. However, a honeymoon package in the U.S. could be a good fit if you’re on a budget. Adventurous honeymooners should consider packages in destinations such as Thailand or the Maldives.

How do I choose a honeymoon destination?

Choose a honeymoon destination based on your interests, budget, location, and time of year. For example, getting to the Bahamas from Miami is fairly simple, but if you live in Los Angeles, you might choose Hawaii. Don’t forget to consider the weather — you’ll want to steer clear of the Caribbean during hurricane season. Finally, consider your budget and interests. Those who hate the beach may opt for a mountain destination instead.

How much is a honeymoon package?

You can find a honeymoon based no matter what your budget is. Usually, a package for 2, including airfare, may run between $5,000 and $ 8,000 for a honeymoon, but if you have airline miles or hotel points, these costs can be reduced significantly. Likewise, a honeymoon package in a more affordable destination may cost less, or choosing a destination closer to home means you can drive and save on airfare.

Do couples pay for their own honeymoon?

Couples usually pay for their own honeymoon. However, many couples use websites like Honeyfund instead of a more traditional wedding registry, where guests can contribute to honeymoon costs.

Cruise line all-inclusive packages: Everything you need to know

L uxury lines aren't the only ones offering all-inclusive cruise packages these days. Mainstream and upscale cruise lines, which traditionally have offered a basic fare and then charged passengers a la carte for onboard expenses, have begun to offer more inclusive fare add-ons. Cruisers are buzzing about these new options, which allow them to pay upfront for popular amenities and not feel nickel-and-dimed on board.

This new pricing strategy, which goes beyond popular drinks packages , has large-ship cruise lines such as Celebrity, Holland America and Princess jockeying to compete with luxury lines and their all-inclusive fares. Small-ship cruise lines Azamara and Windstar have also hopped on the trend.

These packages are designed to make the cruise experience hassle-free by allowing passengers to pay for most of their onboard expenses — such as beverages, Wi-Fi and gratuities — before they board. However, they might not always be the best option for every cruiser.

For cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Here's a look at which cruise lines offer all-inclusive packages, what's included, how much they cost and the factors that can make them a great deal or a potential waste of money.

Celebrity Cruises' all Included package

The package.

Celebrity Cruises — known for having a grown-up, bar-centric ambience on board its ships — offers an All Included cruise fare on any itinerary (excluding the Galapagos Islands). With this fare type, passengers get two included amenities: basic Wi-Fi and Celebrity's Classic beverage package.

The package used to include crew tips, but Celebrity removed that benefit in 2023.

What's the cost of the All Included package? That depends on the destination, itinerary length and time of year. Celebrity Cruises would not provide an average, but in all the fares we priced out, passengers could expect to pay $70 per person, per day, above the base cruise fare. However, it's possible the difference in pricing can be higher on certain cruises.

When browsing for cruises on Celebrity's website, the prices you will see are the Cruise Only fares (except when noted, mostly on Retreat and AquaClass categories). During the booking process (right after cabin selection), you can choose either the higher All Included fare or the lower-priced Cruise Only fare.

Tip: If you'd like to book a balcony cabin at the All Included price, always price out AquaClass and Concierge cabins, as well. Those room types, which offer extra amenities, sometimes cost just a few dollars more (or even less) at the cruise-only fare than a veranda cabin with the add-on package.

All passengers on the reservation must select the same fare. One person can't book All Included and the other Cruise Only. Families sailing in the same cabin must all book the same fare type, although underage passengers will only have access to nonalcoholic beverages.

Related: Best all-inclusive cruise lines

The two amenities that come with an All Included booking are typically priced as follows:

• Classic beverage package: $89 per person, per day, plus a 20% bar gratuity on every drink ordered
• Basic Wi-Fi: $20 per person, per day

The Classic beverage package only includes drinks priced up to $10. Note that the All Included fare covers the bar gratuity normally charged to guests who purchase a beverage package independently.

Celebrity's Basic Wi-Fi plan is its value-priced option, which offers access to basic web functions: texting on messenger services, web browsing and email.

Let's crunch the numbers. Bought a la carte, Celebrity's Classic beverage package and basic Wi-Fi will cost $109 per person, per day; you will be on the hook for a 20% automatic bar gratuity on each drink ordered.

At $70 extra per person, per day, Celebrity's All Included fares are a good value for cruisers who plan to toss back multiple basic cocktails daily — there's no daily limit — and are content with basic Wi-Fi.

Passengers who book All Included fares can also opt to upgrade to the Premium beverage package (for drinks costing up to $17) for an additional $20 per person per day. This must be done within the Cruise Planner platform after final payment is made and up to two days prior to sailing.

Alternatively, they can pay the overage ($2 on a $12 glass of wine or cocktail, for instance) plus a 20% gratuity on the overage.

That puts the total cost of the All Included package at roughly $90 per person, per day, with the upgraded drinks package. Celebrity's Premium beverage package is regularly priced at $109 per person per day, plus there's an automatic 20% gratuity added to the package price (bringing the total daily cost to $130.80).

That means passengers already considering the Premium Beverage Package will definitely save by purchasing the All Included package.

Celebrity cruisers can also upgrade their package to Premium Wi-Fi — which allows messaging and video chat on messenger services, web browsing, email, social media posting, video chat live and watching videos and movies. The upgrade costs an additional $10 per person per day.

The difference between the All Included package cost with basic or premium Wi-Fi is the same as if you purchased a Wi-Fi plan a la carte.

Holland America's Have It All

Passengers booking a cruise on any Holland America ship now have the option to get four premium amenities included with the Have It All package . The line's premium package makes a HAL cruise semi-inclusive when passengers upgrade their base fare.

Here's what's included:

• The Signature beverage package, which includes wines, beers, spirits, cocktails and nonalcoholic options (such as sodas and specialty coffees) that cost $11 and under, as well as bar gratuities. There's a daily limit of 15 beverages per person.
• Specialty dining, with one dinner at either Pinnacle Grill, Canaletto or Tamarind included on a six- to nine-night cruise; two dinners on a 12- to 20-night cruise; and three dinners on a cruise of 21 days or longer (excluding Grand Voyages).
• Wi-Fi Surf package for web surfing, social media and email on one device.
• Shore excursions credit of $100 per person on a six- to nine-night cruise, $200 on a 12- to 20-night cruise and $300 on a cruise that's 21 days or longer (excluding Grand Voyages).

Right now, the Have It All package costs $50 per person, per day (reduced from $99 per day as of April 21, 2023). This price reduction is a temporary promotion, and an end date is not specified. When it does change, other perks may be added to the promotion.

Two passengers sharing a cabin must both select Have It All at the time of booking. Unlike most cruise all-inclusive packages, however, HAL's Have It All doesn't include crew gratuities. These will be added to passengers' onboard accounts at $16 per person, per day for guests in cabins and $17.50 per day for guests in suites.

Here is what all the elements of the Have It All package would cost if purchased separately for a seven-night cruise:

• Shore excursion credit: $100 per person, per cruise
• Specialty dining: $25-$40, based on restaurant selected
• Wi-Fi: $105 (at $15 per day)
• Signature beverage package: $384.65 (at $54.95 per person, per day)

Right now, the Have It All package costs $350 per person for a seven-night cruise, which is actually less than the $384.65 Holland America charges for its Signature beverage package for a cruise of this length. Plus, passengers get an extra $230 to $245 in shore excursion, specialty dining and Wi-Fi perks. So, at the $50 per person, per day rate, the Have It All Package is a terrific value, even for moderate drinkers.

However, when the price reverts to $99 per person, per day, or $693 per person for a seven-night cruise, the Signature beverage package ($384.65) and shore excursion, specialty dining and Wi-Fi perks ($245) only add up to $629.65. That's $63.95 less than Have It All pricing. Although, with Have It All, service charges of 18% per beverage (or $1.98 per $11 beverage) are included.

So, if you drink around 33 beverages costing $11 on a seven-night cruise (or about five a day) you can break even. And remember, you'll still need to pay daily crew gratuities.

According to Holland America, other/additional perks may become available with the Have It All package when the price changes.

Princess Plus and Princess Premier

Princess Cruises continues to modify the amenities included in its Princess Plus package , which the cruise line says offers at least a 50% savings over a la carte costs (based on a seven-night cruise). Passengers can also book the Princess Premier package for additional included perks said to offer more than 65% savings.

Princess Plus is priced at $60 per person, per day. What's included?

• Plus Beverage Package, which includes drinks up to $15 (with a 15-drink alcoholic beverage limit per day)
• Wi-Fi for one device per guest ($15 per day if booked separately)
• Crew appreciation, aka gratuities ($16 per person per day for stateroom guests or $18 per person per day for suite guests)
• Two "premium desserts" per day (purchased at the Gelateria, Swirls or Coffee and Cones)
• Two fitness classes per cruise
• Unlimited juice bar drinks
• Two "casual dining" meals per guest, per cruise (at casual sit-down restaurants, like Alfredo's and Kai Sushi, and pop-up venues, like Planks and Steamers)
• Room service delivery at no extra charge
• OceanNow delivery (ordering food and items on your app to wherever you are on board) at no extra charge

Princess Premier costs $80 per person, per day. It features the following perks:

• Premier beverage package, which includes drinks up to $20 (with a 15-drink alcoholic beverage limit per day)
• Wi-Fi for up to four devices per guest
• Crew appreciation
• Two specialty dining meals per guest
• Photo package (unlimited digital plus three prints up to 8 inches by 10 inches in size)
• Unlimited "premium desserts" (at Gelateria, Swirls or Coffee and Cones)
• Unlimited fitness classes
• Wearable Medallion accessory
• Reserved theater seating for production shows
• Unlimited casual dining
• OceanNow delivery at no extra charge
• Princess Prizes (a chance to win extras like a wine tasting, Chef's Table experience, onboard credit or even a free cruise)

For either plan, each beverage package also includes bar gratuities (18% per beverage when ordered without the Plus or Premier packages). Passengers under 21 will automatically receive the Zero Alcohol package, which includes fountain sodas, juice bar, fresh juices, bottled water, specialty coffees and teas, frappes, milkshakes and Red Bull energy drinks.

Both packages are capacity-controlled and, if sold out, may not be available for all cabin categories at the time of booking; if available, they can also be purchased on the first day of a cruise.

The first and second guests in a cabin must each book the same Plus or Premier package, but the third and fourth guests are not obligated to do so, meaning a family doesn't have to pay for amenities that kids won't use.

Wi-Fi, specialty dining and the photo package are shareable, so a family of four with two parents on the Princess Premier plan can have their children's devices on Wi-Fi, take home great family photos and enjoy one specialty dining experience with the entire family.

It might take a while to add up the cost of all the amenities, but you don't have to. For couples, the Princess Plus package is a no-brainer.

Wi-Fi and crew appreciation (totaling $31-$33 per person, per day) alone account for more than 50% of the $60 per person, per day (or $420 per person for a seven-night cruise) package charge. With less than $30 per day left to break even and with drinks up to $15 included, you don't have to overindulge to get your money's worth. Those premium desserts, casual meals, fitness classes and unlimited juice bar beverages are the icing on the cake.

For $80 per person, per day, or $540 per person for a seven-night cruise, Princess Premier offers additional savings — mostly if you already planned on purchasing a beverage package and think you'll use at least some of the other perks.

The Premier Beverage Package costs $84.99 per person, per day, which is more than the price of the Princess Premier all-inclusive package. If you prefer premium wines and spirits and were planning on purchasing the upgraded drinks package, Princess Premier will more than pay for itself.

The two specialty dining meals are valued at $74 per person, per cruise, or more; this also gets you close to breaking even if you weren't going to purchase a beverage package. Wi-Fi for up to four devices normally costs $40 per day or $280 per seven-night cruise. Combine the two, and you're already ahead. Unlimited desserts, casual dining, fitness classes and juice bar drinks only add to your value.

The bottom line: At $80 per day, Princess Premier can be a good value — especially in comparison to other cruise-line all-inclusive packages costing the same or even more.

Azamara's Experience More

While Azamara 's basic cruise fares already include crew gratuities and standard spirits, beers and select wines (a choice of two whites, two reds and a rose daily), the cruise line's Experience More packages bundle additional onboard amenities at savings of 27% to 32%.

There are four options priced per couple/cabin and one designed for solo travelers. All are available on cruises of eight days or longer, with the exception of one package specific to shorter sailings (seven days or fewer).

The least expensive option for two people sharing a cabin is the Experience More Essentials package. It includes a Premium Beverage Package for two (with additional beer and spirits selections), unlimited Wi-Fi for one device and a $300 shore excursion credit. It's priced at $699 per cabin.

The Experience More on Short Cruises package is the only one available on sailings of seven days or fewer. It includes the Ultimate Beverage Package for two, unlimited Wi-Fi for one device, a $200 shore excursion credit, a $100 onboard spa credit, Chef's Table (a multicourse tasting menu) or Three Table Tour (one night at Aqualina, one night at Prime C and one night at your choice of restaurant) and one bag of laundry per voyage. It's priced at $799 for two people in the same cabin.

The Experience More Enjoyment package includes the Premium Beverage Package for two, unlimited Wi-Fi for two devices, a $500 shore excursion credit and a $200 onboard spa credit. It's priced at $1,099 for two people.

The most comprehensive option for two people is the Experience More Indulgence package. It includes the Ultimate Beverage Package for two, unlimited Wi-Fi for two devices, $700 shore excursion credit, $250 onboard spa credit, Chef's Table or Three Table Tour, and five bags of laundry during the voyage. It's priced at $1,599 for two people.

Singles can get in on the savings, too, with the Experience More for Solo Travelers package. It features the Ultimate Beverage Package for one, unlimited Wi-Fi for one device, a $350 shore excursions credit, a $150 onboard spa credit, Chef's Table or Three Table Tour, and three bags of laundry during the voyage. It's priced at $899 per person.

What's the difference between the Premium and Ultimate beverage packages in these offers? The Premium package includes a larger selection of beer than the included list, plus name-brand spirits such as Absolut, Captain Morgan and Bombay Sapphire. The Ultimate package includes all the Premium offerings plus a selection of wine and Champagne by the glass, Evian and Perrier water and more top-shelf spirits.

If bought separately, the Premium package costs $16.95 per person, per day, and the Ultimate package costs $23.95 per person, per day.

Azamara has done the math for passengers:

• Experience More Essentials: priced at $699, valued at $958.50
• Experience More on Short Cruises: priced at $799, valued at $1,103
• Experience More Enjoyment: priced at $1,099, valued at $1,637
• Experience More Indulgence: priced at $1,599, valued at $2,357
• Experience More for Solo Travelers: priced at $899, valued at $1,224

If you already plan on booking shore excursions and specialty dining reservations, enjoying wine and spirits beyond those included in the cruise fare, using Wi-Fi and paying for amenities such as specialty dining or spa treatments, the all-inclusive upgrades offer good value.

However, if you don't plan to take advantage of all the extra-fee services on board, you'll need to do the math around the amenities you would use to determine whether a package is right for you.

Windstar Cruises' All-Inclusive Fare and All-In Package

Windstar Cruises offers an All-Inclusive Fare option for a set daily fee. For Windstar, all-inclusive means unlimited beverages, unlimited Wi-Fi and all gratuities. Passengers can also still opt to book a base cruise-only fare and pay for onboard expenses on an a la carte basis.

Passengers who choose the All-Inclusive Fare prepay $89 per person, per day; the package must be booked within five days of the sail date. Those who book a cruise-only fare can also purchase the All-In Package for $99 per person, per day once they are on board.

Both the inclusive fares and onboard package cover unlimited Wi-Fi, crew gratuities and wine, beer and cocktails ordered on board (as well as the 18% beverage service charge usually tacked onto bar bills).

We took a look at the a la carte items included in the inclusive package to determine the value of Windstar's offering (based on a weeklong sailing).

• Crew gratuities: $16 per person, per day
• Beverage package: $65 (for Captain's Exclusive Beverage Package, which includes cocktails, aperitifs and more). These also incur an 18% service charge.
• Unlimited Wi-Fi: $245 for a seven-night cruise ($35 per person, per day)

Wi-Fi and tips account for $51 of the $89 daily charge before factoring in bar charges. That leaves $38 for beverages. So, the value is there with the All-Inclusive Fare if you plan to enjoy at least three or four alcoholic beverages daily throughout your cruise — and you'll avoid the added service charges.

However, guests who only indulge in the occasional glass of wine or cocktail will not see the full value of the package. Similarly, passengers who prefer to buy one of Windstar's cheaper, more limited usage Wi-Fi plans (200 megabytes or 500 megabytes of data) or intend to share the cost of the Unlimited Wi-Fi plan by logging in one device at a time, might find the $89 or $99 daily charge is not worth it.

Bottom line

Should you upgrade to one of these packages? While convenience is certainly a motivating factor, whether a plan has value depends in most cases on what you think your bar tab will be.

If vacation mode means you'll be tossing back tropical cocktails at the pool all day or enjoying multiple glasses of wine at both lunch and dinner, booking an all-inclusive package is a smart option. If you're not a big drinker or enthusiastic social media user, the better deal is sometimes to stick with the basic fare and pay as you go for what you use.
