Cruising has always been synonymous with romance due to its exotic locales, romantic sunsets, and cozy quarters.
Houston, TX (Vocus) November 20, 2009
With moonlit strolls on the deck, champagne and caviar, and weddings at sea, cruises symbolize romance for all ages. Noting that cruise ship romance isn't just for young newlyweds, cruise lines are creating one-of-a-kind romantic cruises certain to put a spark into any relationship.
According to Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), the number two reason passengers take a cruise is to find or rediscover romance. Twenty percent of travel agents polled by CLIA said that couples renewing vows on cruises comprised the most significant increase in their honeymoon business.
Through its extensive network of vendor partners, Frosch Travel (FROSCH), a premier travel management agency, provides cruises to exotic, romantic destinations with decadent amenities to suit couples of any age.
Princess Cruises, a FROSCH Preferred Partner, recently partnered with Cruise Critic® to search for “Real-Life Love Stories” by asking passengers for romantic tales from cruising on their ships. “Princess Cruises received over one hundred entries. Former “Love Boat” captain Gavin MacLeod and Cruise Critic Editor Carolyn Spencer Brown selected the top five stories, and then the Cruise Critic® online community voted,” according to Lara Leibman, Senior Vice President of FROSCH. Tracey Pettit of California won a seven-day Princess cruise to the Caribbean for her romantic story.
The Department of Romance area of the Princess Cruises website features advice and stories from romance experts such as Trista and Ryan Sutter from “The Bachelorette,” Gavin MacLeod, destination wedding expert Lisa Light, and intimacy maven Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Website visitors will find interesting tidbits such as romantic quotes, a Facebook group, podcasts from the experts, and desktop backgrounds with a romantic theme.
According to Leibman, “Cruising has always been synonymous with romance due to its exotic locales, romantic sunsets, and cozy quarters. Whether they are newlyweds or a couple celebrating their sixtieth anniversary, Princess Cruises offers something for everyone, and they have taken the romantic cruise concept to the next level with their new Department of Romance.”
Cruise lines are currently focusing on creating imaginative trips tailored to passengers' interests. Cruises cater to individual pursuits such as architecture, or focus on specific groups like wine connoisseurs, yoga, singles, and corporate (e.g., investment tips). Themed trips abound, such as a cruise to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of RMS Titanic.
