Carnival Cruise Line Weddings

Celebrate your love with a high-energy, value-packed wedding. Learn how we handle guest security clearance and secure group stateroom rates.

Carnival Cruise Wedding Couple

Carnival Cruise Line weddings provide couples with high-value, fun-filled celebration packages, with a particular specialization in embarkation day ceremonies that accommodate non-sailing guests.

As a Top 20 Travel Agency with Signature Travel Network, Cruise Wedding Groups (managed by Vincent Vacations) handles the detailed guest manifesting and security clearance required for non-sailing visitors, while maximizing group stateroom credits.

The Embarkation Day Specialty

One of Carnival's biggest strengths is its well-organized embarkation day wedding program. This allows you to get married in the ship's chapel or lounge before the cruise departs. Non-sailing family members and friends can board with you, celebrate, enjoy a fully catered reception with open bar, and then head back home while you and your sailing guests cruise away.

Managing embarkation day logistics is highly complex due to port authority rules. We take care of the entire passenger manifest, collecting legal names, birthdates, and government identification numbers for all non-sailing guests, ensuring hassle-free boarding passes are issued by Carnival security.

Carnival Wedding Group Perks

When booking 8 or more staterooms, your party is contracted as an official Carnival Wedding Group. This unlocks multiple benefits that we manage for you:

  • Tour Conductor Credits: Earn 1 free berth value for every 16 sailing passengers. We apply this directly to offset the bride and groom's cabin fare.
  • Fun Points: Your group earns points that can be redeemed for stateroom amenities, like chocolate-covered strawberries, wine bottles, or customized group cocktail events.
  • Group Dining: We coordinate with the Main Dining Room managers to ensure your entire wedding group is seated together at adjacent tables.

Carnival Wedding FAQs

Yes. Carnival is a leader in embarkation day weddings, allowing you to invite non-sailing guests to board the ship at the home port. They can attend the ceremony and reception in an onboard lounge, then disembark before the ship sails. A complete guest list must be submitted 45 days in advance for port security clearance.
No. Carnival Cruise Line Captains perform symbolic ceremonies and vow renewals only. For a legally binding Carnival wedding, the ceremony must be performed shoreside at a port of call by local officials, or on embarkation day in the home port by a licensed local officiant prior to sailing.
A standard Carnival wedding group contract requires a minimum of 8 staterooms (16 passengers). Booking a group block locks in promotional rates, secures group dining tables, and qualifies you for Tour Conductor credits.
For embarkation day weddings, the complete guest list (including both sailing and non-sailing guests) must be finalized and submitted to port security exactly 45 days prior to sailing. No changes or additions are allowed after this deadline due to strict customs rules.
