For Many couples, planning a honeymoon is just as important as planning the wed­ding itself.  Regardless of your destination, there are important things you need to know to make your honeymoon a memo­rable experience.  Most engaged couples feel like they are already paying for more than they antici­pated, so budgeting for your hon­eymoon should be a priority. 

Take the time to explore your options.  You could investigate the many popular choices that are available to you - from a tra­ditional honeymoon to a destina­tion wedding and the increasingly popular bridal registry.  

All inclusive resorts in the Caribbean or Mexico have been one of the most frequently cho­sen honeymoons. The definition of an all inclusive is:  paying one price and getting all of your meals, drinks, non motorized water sports, taxes and tips included. You have the security of having one price include every­thing.  

There is a staggering array of choices offered in the all inclusive category - romantic couples only properties - resorts that include motorized water sports like water skiing and scuba -diving -  all suite properties some of which even include your sightsee­ing tours- to mention a few. They range from small and intimate to large and opulent, some are quiet and relaxing and oth­ers are lively and spirited. Basically there are lots of all-inclusive resorts out there for every taste, and for every budget.

 If an all-inclusive prop­erty is not your cup of tea, there is an endless array of additional options. Cruises are another popular honey­moon. This is an option that also has inclusive features, namely your meals and entertainment. However on a cruise ship your alcoholic beverages and soft drinks and your taxes and tips are not included in the rates of most cruise lines.

Here, too your options are varied. At any time of the year you can book a cruise to the Caribbean, Mexico, the Panama Canal or Hawaii. Seasonally, from spring until fall, cruises also sail to Bermuda, Canada, Alaska and Europe. And throughout the year if you have a little more time than a week to 10 days there are exotic cruises to places like the Orient, Tahiti, Australia and New Zealand, as well as South America and Antarctica. Cruises go pretty much anywhere there is water on the planet.

Cruises come in the same wide variety of choices as a land based all inclusive resort, from small and classy to huge and opulent. There are many barges on the small water­ways of the world - such as the Rhine, Danube and Nile Rivers, and  large sailing vessels and spacious yacht-like ships nav­igating the seas.

Another trend in demand is the “Destination Wedding” where you combine the wed­ding and honeymoon. Family and friends join you at the resort where the resort’s wedding plan­ner takes care of every last detail. Some resorts offer free weddings and extra amenities to entice you to chose their property.  This is a grand way to have everyone enjoy a wedding and a vacation at the same time!!  Wedding guests from far and wide can fly to your chosen spot to participate in the festivities for several days instead of several hours. We can help you chose the perfect destination and assist in arranging transportation for everyone to join you for your special day.

 The Honeymoon Registry is the perfect practical gift solu­tion for an alternative to the traditional gift giving.  Shower and Wedding participants can purchase gift certificates from Preferred Travel, which are applied to the honeymoon.   This is a perfect opportunity for family and friends to make your dreams come true.

 Romantic getaways are not exclusively for the honeymoon couple - these same resorts offer romantic packages for everyone - from anniversaries to vacations to celebrations such as wedding vow renewals for the not so newly wed!!!
