Romance on the Water - Setting sail for love

They didn't call it The Love Boat for nothing... taking to the seas has long been the holiday of choice for many lovebirds. Not only can you partake in the maximum pleasure, minimum effort option of a giant luxury cruise ship anywhere in the world, but have you ever considered the option of learning how to sail on a restored tall ship? Or perhaps try a bareboat charter in the Caribbean, go island hopping through the Greek Islands on a cruiser or board a luxury barge gliding through European waterways. The choices are as endless as the horizon itself.

Spend your evenings sipping delicious cocktails and taking a moonlit stroll along the deck. Marvel at the vastness of colour as the sun sets on an open ocean one night, then watch it sink behind a tropical island the next. Or take a moonlight stroll along the deck. It doesn't get much more romantic than wandering arm in arm under a blanket of stars with a 360-degree view of the ocean and a gentle sea breeze.

Don't even think twice - splurge on a cabin upgrade and you could have the privacy of your very own balcony. Then just relax and unwind in privacy, with ocean views, a cool drink and maybe even a private breakfast for two. When it comes to dining, keep it intimate and dine for two. Most cruise liners have a small selection of tables for two in their main dining rooms or you can choose from one of the many intimate specialty restaurants.

Be sure to take full advantage of the onboard activities: learn how to dance the tango or salsa, get involved in cooking demonstrations or indulge each other's senses with a couples massage or spa treatment. Feel free to let your hair down! Whatever your taste, you'll find something to entertain you on a cruise ship. Enjoy a black tie dinner, try your luck at the casino, dance the night away or chill out with some cool jazz and cocktails in the piano bar.

Romance isn't just an indoor sport, be sure to go exploring together. Discover exciting destinations and romantic locations during offshore excursions. Stroll the pristine sands of tropical island beaches, discovering quaint villages and cobbled streets of European coastal areas or venturing into exotic Asian ports.

If you really want to take romance to a new level, why not get married or renew your vows at sea? Combine your ceremony and honeymoon and take your closest friends and family along for the ride. Weddings can be performed on the ship by the Captain - some ships even have their own chapel. Or why not tie the knot during a romantic shore excursion on a deserted tropical island?

No matter what you decide, the important thing is to relax, unwind and enjoy together. On a cruise, all the stress disappears: no lengthy flights and delays and no arguments on where to go and how to get there. Plus, you only have to unpack once!
