Luxury cruise brand Cunard welcomed its first booking by a same-sex couple following the recent Supreme Court ruling enabling same-sex marriages in Bermuda, where the fleet of ships is registered.

The ruling means Cunard, which offered weddings on its ships for the last five years and married more than 250 couples, is one of the first British cruise lines to conduct same-sex wedding ceremonies at sea.

“Cunard is proud to become among the first cruise lines to offer same-sex marriages at sea,” said Josh Leibowitz, senior vice president, Cunard North America. “Cunard has brought people together through travel for over 175 years, and we’re proud to mark another milestone in our company’s history as we welcome our first gay marriage booking and many other marriages to come.”

Wedding ceremonies are performed by the ship’s captain; however, in his/her absence, the deputy captain will be asked to conduct on the couple’s behalf, and the marriage license will be issued by Bermuda.

Same-sex couples can now purchase a Cunard Wedding at Sea offer to include a romantic ceremony at sea, wedding ceremony venue with floral arrangements, traditional wedding music, services of the onboard wedding coordinator, attendance at the ceremony of a professional photographer, commemorative wedding certificate, an official copy of the marriage certificate, the cost of the licenses fees, a bottle of Champagne in the cabin on arrival, a Champagne toast after the ceremony, invitations and thank you notes and a wedding outfit pressing service.
