Honeymoon Cruising in Millionaire’s Mega Yacht Fashion

Variety Cruises is delighted to announce special Honeymoon packages across a portfolio of cruises that includes the Greek Islands, the French and Italian Rivieras, Sicily, Cuba or the Seychelles Islands – some of the most trendy, most romantic or most upbeat destinations for today’s honeymooners!

All Variety vessels are ‘Mega Yachts’ – a motor yacht designed as a mini cruise ship. Luxuriously appointed to deluxe millionaire’s standards they only carry between 44 or 72 passengers. Furthermore, being of smaller size, then can access the smaller more romantic harbours that the big ‘factory liners’ struggle to visit. Honeymoon packages include cruises on Variety’s new Eur 29,000,000 flagship Variety Voyager that is the first sea-going vessel to be awarded membership of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts Boutique Collection.

Our Greek Islands cruises all include Santorini, the honeymooners’ Mecca, but you can opt to rub elbows with the rich and famous in Monte Carlo, Saint Tropez, or Portofino with the Romantic Rivieras program. Alternatively you could choose romantic strolls on some of the most amazing beaches in the world in our Seychelles program, a honeymoon filled with shopping and 1001 fairytale nights on a Oman-Abu Dhabi cruise, or Cuba's music filled life dancing the Salsa and drinking the Mojitos on our Cuban Sight and Sounds program.

The Variety Cruises Honeymooners’ package features:

• Cabins with Double or King bed
• Welcome Honeymooners treatment including a Complimentary bottle of Champagne and a Fruit Basket
• A Candle Lit Dinner at our Special Honeymooners location on board our ships (for all our programs outside Greece ) or at a preferred restaurant in Santorini or Mykonos for our Greek cruise programs
• 10% discount for any wedding anniversary on board our ships
• Automatic access to our Variety Club membership
• “ Our Memories” gift at disembarkation
• A free massage for 2, if on board our Harmony V, Variety Voyager and Seychelles program vessel.

‘Renew your vows’ becoming increasingly popular
Variety Cruises is finding that more and more people are choosing to renew their wedding vows later in life and what could be more romantic than doing so at sea where tradition demands the ceremony is conducted by the Captain of the ship.

The Honeymooners’ package is also available to those who choose to renew their vows. For those who are more recently married, Variety insists the cruise must be taken within 6 months of the wedding date and asks to see a marriage certificate.
