Whether your idea of a romantic getaway is a wine tasting in lush Tuscany or a night of salsa dancing in Cozumel, Mexico, you can sail to your favourite destinations—from Alaska to the Mediterranean and to the Caribbean. You’ll also be swept off your feet by the experiences on board, as you cruise from one place to the next. Here are some of the most romantic destinations you can visit on a cruise from a private island destination in The Bahamas to the south of France, there are places for every kind of traveller and their special someone to explore.

The Caribbean

With over 7,000 islands, The Caribbean is perhaps more famous for cruises than anything else and offers several romantic itineraries to choose from. The Western Caribbean is popular for its parties and water sport opportunities while the Eastern Caribbean is quite known for its serene beaches and rugged terrain. Although the Bahamas islands are in the Atlantic Ocean and not the Caribbean, they are great for those who have time or budget constraints.

Greece and Turkey

The Eastern Mediterranean cruise route includes a wide range of areas from Greece, Italy to Croatia and Turkey blending ancient history with laidback beaches, nightlife and culture. The best way to explore the Greek islands is unarguably on board a cruise ship. These cruises often depart from Athens and Istanbul so one can explore Greece and Turkey on these journeys with plenty of ancient wonders, architectural marvels and beautiful landscapes waiting to be discovered.

Barcelona and Monte Carlo

You can also choose to explore the Western Mediterranean region on your cruise which usually start and end in Barcelona and Monte Carlo covering Genoa and La Spezia in Italy and St. Tropez and Marseille in France. This is an excellent cruise option for those who are visiting Europe for the first time or for those Europeans who want to see their beautiful coast from the luxury of a cruise ship. Late spring or autumn is the ideal time for visiting this region as it gets extremely hot in summer.

South of France

The south of France is one of the dreamiest places popular for its warm temperate climate, limestone cliff beaches, lush vineyards and lavender fields of Provence. Explore popular destinations like Nice and Marseille indulging in its French wine and cheese, and visiting its cultural and historical landmarks like Nice’s Castle Hill and Marseille’s famous Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica, a Byzantine-inspired chapel. You can sail to the south of France on a 5 to 12 nights’ cruise from destinations like Barcelona and Rome.
