Unfurl the Sails and Tie the Knot: Windjammer Wedding Packages

Sure, most cruise lines offer wedding packages. And sure, some of the Royal Caribbean, Princess, NCL, and Carnival ships have fancy wedding chapels on board. But for certain types -- and you know who you are -- all that pales next to the thought of getting hitched on the deck of an old-time sailing ship, with stripe-shirted crewmembers manning the rum barrel and a pirate-tan captain officiating.

Windjammer Barefoot Cruises' Tie-the-Knot-at-Sea program offers all that, and provides a passenger-list of partying types bound to make your shipwide reception a hoot too. Legally binding ceremonies can be performed on deck by a nondenominational minister -- or you can complete all the legal paperwork back home so that the ship's captain can officiate. Windjammer's wedding consultants work with local wedding coordinators on the islands and advise on all legal necessities, as well as arranging for flowers and photographers. Weddings can take place in a number of ports, including Antigua, Aruba, Grenada, St. Thomas, Nassau, Nevis, St. John, St. Lucia, Sint Maarten, and Miami.

Wedding packages run from $1,000 to $1,600 and include consultant services, officiator, tropical bouquet, a celebratory champagne toast, a "keepsake certificate," and various options. Fares for wedding guests start around $700 for six-day cruises.
