Five Destinations for Romance

There are many ways and reasons to cruise. For those looking to kindle a spark in their relationship, sneak off with that special someone, renew vows, or celebrate an anniversary, there are very few better options than cruising. While cruising your stateroom becomes your over-water bungalow in all of the world’s most romantic ports. For those seeking romance these are the destinations we suggest sneaking off:

• Venice- It is hard nailing down a single “most romantic” city in Italy. The Neopolitan Coast, Florence, Rome, and more could all make this list. A gondola ride along the Grand Canal with the one you love is hard to beat. Other suggested locations include the Rialto Bridge and the Piazza San Marco. I also recommend making a gift of hand-blown Venetian glass from the Island of Moderno as a romantic keepsake.
• Tahiti, French Polynesia- Earlier a reference was made to the romance of the “overwater bungalow.” Those were invented in Tahiti. White sandy beaches, exotic cultures, gorgeous scenery, and unforgettable sunsets conspire to make French Polynesia an absolutely intoxicating experience. An intimate cruise through paradise, under the billowing sheets of a sailing yacht, transports you to a romantic era of cruising.
• Niagra Falls has been a honeymoon destination since 1801. This makes it one of the original “honeymoon spots.” The massive falls pus 20 million gallons over a mile-wide ridge, down the falls every minute carving the St. Lawrence River valley. A boat ride through the clouds of mist in the arms of a loved one is a memory that guests can’t help but carry for life.
• Bali - the beaches and lagoons of Indonesia are magical. The scenery above and below the surface transport visitors to another world. For those lovers wishing to sneak away, Bali makes a beautiful island getaway.
• Paris - At the top of everyone’s list sits Paris. “The City of Love” has monopolized the title of most romantic city in Europe in the minds of most tourists. Toasting champagne from the balcony of a river ship, as the Eiffel Tower bursts into glimmering lights will surely sweep guests off their feet.
