Try A Cruise Package For An Enjoyable Honeymoon

By Erwin Rostuzing

Honeymoon travel packages range in price from very inexpensive to the most expensive plan that includes all the extras. With the associated range of incomes and budgets among young, married couples today, it is possible that the moderately priced honeymoon package that attracts one couple might be completely out of reach for another family starting out. But travel planners and tour companies have been able to put together packages that almost anyone can afford, while making sure that these offerings are remunerative for the company.

Some couples may worry that an affordable honeymoon trip might not get them far from home, or to a somewhat exotic location. It is certainly true that the necessary expenses of a wedding, rings and setting up a home may limit the honeymoon budget, but there are ways to compensate for this. Some couples are fortunate to have the family help with or pay for the honeymoon as a wedding present. Having numerous guests contribute toward the honeymoon is another option that opens a lot of travel doors.

Cruise ship companies have designed some affordable honeymoon trips as well, featuring the relaxing lifestyle of a cruise as a great way to start life together. Getting away on a cruise, during which all amenities are provided and included, is an excellent way to leave work schedules and the stress of wedding plans behind. The wide range of cruise options makes this choice quite popular. Couples can choose to spend their honeymoon in such wonderful locations as Alaska, the Caribbean or Europe. The options include everything from simply relaxing on deck in the sun to entertainment and dancing in the clubs and theatres on board. Of course, the best part of all this is that cruise packages are available in nearly every price range, with options for smaller cabins a great way to limit the expense.

Couples planning a honeymoon trip should start by asking a few questions about goals and objectives for the trip. If the beach is the desired destination, this should be put at the top of the priority/planning list. There are some excellent beach resorts close to home for just about everyone. Suffice to say it isn't necessary to travel halfway around the world to get to a beautiful beach. Larger budgets might allow a trip to Tahiti, while those on a more limited financial standing can find excellent relaxation in the Florida, Virginia or California sand.

For some who want to include golf in their activities, the opportunities range from the more expensive trip to the home of golf, Scotland, to the more affordable trip to Florida, the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, or the sunshine of Phoenix, Arizona. Never fear, honeymoon package trips are available to all of these wonderful destinations.

Some honeymoon couples choose to stay in a home on their trip, rather than incur the expense of a five-star hotel or a resort villa. Home exchanges have become quite popular in recent years and this choice can trim a few dollars of any honeymoon trip. Because lodging and the associated amenities are a large part of honeymoon costs, a bit of creativity can help keep the expenses in line.
