Ceremonies on Shore

A P&O Cruises holiday is the ultimate way to unwind before taking your vows on the warm white sands of Barbados.

What's included?

You’ll have time to relax, enjoy both ship and shore, then get wedding-ready in the spa and salon. You can have fun together and, if guests are joining you, celebrate with your loved ones before your big day. If you join your ship in Antigua, you’ll have your Barbados ceremony mid-way through your holiday, giving you plenty of time to relax and prepare for the big day, and to celebrate afterwards. Or, if you choose to board in Barbados, you’ll have your ceremony on your last full day away, so you’ll have time to soak up the sun before tying the knot and flying home to celebrate with family and friends.
