1. Cruise
What could be better for your honeymoon celebration than an all-inclusive getaway!? Cruises are fantastic honeymoon choices because everything is planned out and right at your fingertips; dining choices, activities, relaxation opportunities, excursions, and entertainment are all built right into the experience. Relax on a beach in the Caribbean, embark on a river cruise along the Danube and see ancient European castles, or check out the best Greek islands for a picture perfect romantic getaway.
2. Road Trip
Do you hear the open road calling your name? Grab your partner and embark on an adventure neither of you will forget. If you’re into camping, try renting an RV and checking out various national parks and nature preserves along your route. Or, if you prefer a more comfortable experience, check out some different bed and breakfast places and meet some locals. You’ll learn just as much and have tons of fun without so much as setting foot on an airplane!
3. Disney
Are you a kid at heart? A trip to Disney World or Disneyland may be just the ticket. Stay at one of Disney’s world-class resorts and take the monorail or shuttle right to the parks; no car required! If you choose to visit Disney World in Orlando, Florida, also set aside some time to check out some of central Florida’s other great attractions. Sea World, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and even the Kennedy Space Center are great options.
If California is calling your name, there are plenty of attractions to check out near Disneyland. The Fullerton Arbouretum boasts a whopping 4,000 types of plants on 26 acres of land–perfect for a romantic stroll. After, sip some wine at a tasting at one of the world-famous California wineries.
4. Resort
A resort is a fantastic option if you love the activities and all-inclusive features of a cruise, but aren’t too thrilled about setting out on the open water. A resort has everything you love about a cruise, except it’s on land! There are plenty of dining options, activities, and entertainment to keep you and your sweetie busy for the entire trip! If beaches aren’t your thing, plenty of resorts are inland and offer activities such as hiking and rock climbing.
5. Staycation
If spending tons of money on a honeymoon trip just isn’t in the cards for you right now, don’t fret. You can plan a fun and exciting honeymoon right from your home! Each of you takes turns picking a destination and then immerse yourself in the culture at home! Have you always dreamed of going to Spain? Make some paella with your love while dancing to Spanish music, and then settle in for a movie set in Spain. If you add a little creativity, you’ll forget you’re in your very own living room.
If your area has some destinations you’ve never been to, play tourist right in your own town and see those places you’ve always meant to visit. Then, sit down at a new restaurant in the area and discuss your favorite parts of the day. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to enjoy time with your new spouse!
Your honeymoon should be a time for relaxing, learning about your partner, and making your first memories as a married couple! Granted, planning a big trip such as a honeymoon can be a challenge, but if you approach it early and choose the ideal experience for both of you, your honeymoon will be an experience you and your new spouse won’t soon forget.
