A romantic cruise vacation can be the perfect way to start a relationship, cement your commitment, or rekindle the spark that first drew you together. For many people, the simple elegance of sailing the high seas on a luxury vessel is far more romantic than a land-based vacation. There are many romantic ideas for a cruise vacation, however, that can add even more magic to the salty air and create a truly passionate experience. The first step to creating romantic cruise vacations is to set the appropriate mood when booking the cruise

 Here are some tips to add extra romance:

1.      Class of cabin- for a more romantic atmosphere, choose a higher class of cabin such as a verandah or suite. Consider the cabin location and opt for a more private, out of the way stateroom in the extreme aft or bow of the ship, or on a deck with very few cabins.

2.      Itinerary also contributes to cruise romance. Choosing an itinerary with more than a single day at sea guarantees more potentially romantic moments than a cruise filled with new sights and sounds.

3.      While choosing the cruise line, a more laid back cruise line may be a better option with more romantic ideas for a cruise vacation.

4.      Arrange for Couple’s spa treatments including massages or steam rooms.

5.      Go for Formal nights for elegant dancing.

6.      Do a Star gazing from upper decks of the ship and spot other brilliantly lit cruise ships.

7.      Flowers or gourmet chocolates from the formalities boutique.

8.      Arrange a private shore excursion such as snorkeling, horseback riding, or sightseeing.

9.      Find a secluded beach for intimate relaxation without large crowds. 

10. Have a private stateroom dinners or breakfast in bed.

11. Surprise her with scuba diving.
