Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year; add a day or two
before or after, and you’ll have time to whisk your valentine away on a
romantic cruise!
Let’s face it: cruises are inherently romantic, in part because
they take you away from the daily routine. You’ll have a comfortable stateroom
for two, with stewards to make the bed and fill the ice bucket for you. You can
also enjoy swimming pools and hot tubs, sundecks, spa treatments, fine dining,
cozy lounges and more.
Your Cruise Holidays personal cruise expert will help you
personalize your Valentine’s Day cruise experience, starting with your
stateroom; you may wish to upgrade to a room with balcony so you can enjoy
fresh sea breezes and expansive views. And, some ships offer special “ship
within a ship” accommodations, with private areas for relaxation.
Many ships offer specialty restaurants as an alternative to the
main dining room; ask your Cruise Holidays expert how you can reserve a private
table for two. A couple’s massage or other “just for two” treatment in the
shipboard spa is another special way to relax together (try to book this early
so your and your valentine can feel the benefits throughout the cruise).
There are romantic possibilities for time spent off the ship, too.
Ask your Cruise Holidays expert about shore excursions for two: perhaps you can
spend a day on a quiet beach, touring a vineyard, taking a ride in a hot air
balloon or swimming at the base of a waterfall.
Your Cruise Holidays expert can provide details on specific
cruises, such as the “Sail Across the Sun” Music, Food and Wine Festival cruise,
departing February 13 from Miami on the Norwegian
Pearl. You and your sweetie can enjoy four days of wine tastings, cooking
demonstrations and musical performances, with port calls in Key West and Great
Stirrup Cay.
Or, take a West Coast Getaway Cruise on the Princess Cruises’ Crown Princess, departing February 10
from Los Angeles. After four days of cruising the Pacific, you’ll get back to
LA just in time to enjoy a romantic Valentine’s Day in the City of Angels.
Anita, your Cruise Holidays expert can help you arrange other
special touches, too, such as a vase of fresh flowers or a bottle of champagne
for your stateroom. Don’t wait to make arrangements, though – Valentine’s Day
isn’t far away!
