The world is positively bursting with places suitable for those celebrating their union. There are so many romantic destinations to choose from, you might have trouble picking one. However, the availability of flights and low cost air travel has made the world a much smaller place.

If you can’t spoil yourself on your honeymoon, when can you? After the stress and excitement of planning a wedding, it’s good for couples to enjoy their honeymoon vacations. It’s the time to let people pamper you for a change and attend to your every whim.

Relax Together in a Tropical Paradise

Everyone loves a lover and when you reach your destination, people will want to make sure you have a good time. Indeed, many people have their actual wedding ceremony in a tropical paradise now, and simply stay on for the wedding. There are lots of travel companies specializing in wedding packages, that can organize the ceremony, reception and accommodation for the couple and their guests in honeymoon vacations spots around the world.

Most people going on honeymoon just want to relax, kick back and soak up some sun. Even if you’re adventurous, you don’t really want to break your leg skiing on your honeymoon! Honeymoon vacations are more likely to involve chilling on a beach and sipping a long, cool drink, with no more exertion than a game of Frisbee. If that sounds like your idea of heaven, Hawaii, Fiji or Jamaica would be ideal.

Wander Hand in Hand Through Some of the World’s Most Romantic Cities

Alternatively, a romantic city would also be a nice backdrop. The three most romantic cities in my opinion are Paris, Venice and Rome. If I had to choose, I guess it would be Venice. It’s a city that could have been specially invented for honeymoon vacations. There’s something about the architecture, the sunset over the canals and the flower sellers in the narrow streets. And of course, Italian is the language of love!

The Love Boat

Another option, if you have the cash, is to could take a cruise round the Caribbean islands. The ship would be an elegant, luxury, floating hotel. Honeymoon vacations which start the journey on a deluxe private jet are also tempting. That would be very James Bond. The couple could toast each other with champagne above the clouds. A safari is another idea, if you don’t mind bumping along in the back of a Land Rover, and it would certainly be a good story to tell the grandchildren.

The Orient Express - The Ultimate in Luxury Rail Travel

My own personal favorite would have to be a trip on the Orient Express, undoubtedly the most romantic train ride in the world. We would travel from Paris to Vienna, reclining in plush leather interiors and dining on smoked salmon and truffles. Everyone would dress formally and speculate on each other’s history. As honeymoon vacations go, that would take some beating. When we reached Vienna, we would eat coffee and pastries in a little café to the sound of Mozart.

With such a fantastic choice of destinations out there perhaps I should renew my wedding vows and go on a second honeymoon? After all, you can’t have honeymoon vacations without getting married!
