Cunard to offer onboard weddings starting in April

Cunard will begin offering weddings onboard all three of its ships in April.

A basic wedding package will cost $2,500, plus a marriage license fee of $575.

The line changed the registry of its ships, the Queen Mary 2, the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Victoria, from England to Bermuda because English law requires that weddings be performed in a publicly accessible place.

Cunard President Peter Shanks said last year that the line was missing out on revenue from wedding packages and would move the ship's registries to enable the sale of the product.

The Cunard wedding package is available on all sailings, said the line. It said that just one wedding would be arranged per day, per ship, and that all ceremonies will take place on days at sea. Each of the three ships will have an onboard wedding coordinator.

The line's basic wedding package covers the venue, ceremony by ship's captain, floral arrangements, wedding cake, music, champagne and breakfast in bed for the bride and groom, among other items. Additional amenities can be purchased and added to the package.
