Start Planning Your Cruise Wedding

A Wedding Planned Around Your Ship

A cruise wedding starts with understanding your time ashore.

Before recommending a venue or ceremony time, we review your ship, travel date, arrival port and scheduled time in Roatán. Your confirmed all-aboard time guides the return plan.

We consider disembarkation, transportation, setup, ceremony, photographs and any meal or celebration afterward. We also allow time for the return journey and port procedures.

You receive a celebration designed around what comfortably fits your day.

Which Roatán Cruise Port Will You Arrive At?

Roatán has two principal cruise ports. Your arrival location affects your pickup instructions, venue choices and transportation schedule.

Port	What to know
Isla Tropicale, formerly Mahogany Bay	Located in the Dixon Cove area. Your itinerary may still show the former Mahogany Bay name.
Port of Roatán, Coxen Hole	A separate port in Coxen Hole, with different pickup arrangements and travel times.

Send us your ship name and itinerary so we can confirm the appropriate arrangements. Please do not assume that a travel-time estimate from one port applies to the other.

Read our guide to Isla Tropicale and Mahogany Bay.

What Could Your Wedding Day Look Like?

The following is an illustrative schedule, not a confirmed itinerary. It assumes an 8:00 a.m. arrival, a 4:00 p.m. departure and a venue reachable within the allocated transfer time.

Time	Experience
8:00 a.m.	Scheduled ship arrival
9:00 a.m.	Meet your transportation after disembarkation
10:00 a.m.	Arrive at the venue and prepare for the ceremony
10:30 a.m.	Exchange vows

Your actual schedule may need an earlier return or a shorter celebration. We adjust it to your ship’s confirmed all-aboard time, port, venue, traffic considerations and group size. We also clarify ship time versus local time before finalizing arrangements.

Choosing Your Venue and Rain Alternative

The right cruise-wedding venue needs to work for your schedule, guest count and celebration style.

We help you consider beach and oceanfront settings, shade, accessibility, dining facilities, privacy and transportation. Exclusive use is subject to the venue’s terms and availability.

A weather alternative belongs in the plan from the beginning. Depending on the property, this may be a covered terrace, restaurant or indoor event space.

Before booking, we clarify the backup location, any additional charges and how a weather-related decision will be made.

What Happens If Your Cruise Itinerary Changes?

A delayed arrival or missed port can affect a shore wedding. Before paying deposits, review the written cancellation, rescheduling and missed-port terms for your booking.

Our planning discussions include:

How to contact us if your ship’s schedule changes.
Which parts of the celebration could be adjusted after a delay.
Whether rescheduling is possible.
Which payments are refundable, transferable or nonrefundable under the applicable agreements.

If your itinerary changes, contact us as soon as possible so we can review the available options with your venue and vendors. Refunds and alternative dates depend on the agreed terms and availability. Read our cruise wedding changes and cancellations FAQ.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a cruise wedding in Roatán cost?

Your quote depends on guest count, venue, transportation, décor, photography and food or beverage selections. Send us your ship, date, estimated attendance and budget so we can recommend suitable options.

Can we celebrate with just the two of us?

Absolutely. We can help you plan an intimate ceremony with the details that matter most to you, whether that means flowers and photographs or a private lunch afterward.

Can we have a symbolic ceremony?

Yes. A symbolic ceremony is an option for couples who complete their legal marriage separately and want to exchange vows in Roatán. Let us know your preferred ceremony type at the beginning of planning.

Can our guests travel together?

We can arrange coordinated group transportation. Vehicle arrangements depend on your guest count, accessibility needs, port and venue.

Can we have lunch or a small reception?

Yes, when the port schedule allows. We help you choose a format that leaves comfortable time for photographs, transportation and your return to the ship.

Can we have a sunset wedding?

Only if your confirmed port schedule allows it. For many cruise visits, a morning or midday ceremony is the more practical choice. We confirm timing before recommending a sunset celebration.
