Barbados has solidified its reputation as a premier wedding destination by partnering with P&O Cruises to offer exclusive beach wedding packages for couples sailing on Caribbean itineraries. This initiative follows the island’s recent accolade as the Caribbean’s Leading Wedding Destination for the second consecutive year at the World Travel Awards (WTA) Caribbean & North American Gala Ceremony on October 4 in Saint Lucia. The new Barbados Beach Weddings package allows couples aboard the Arvia and Britannia ships to host their ceremonies on one of three picturesque beaches: Batts Rock, Needham’s Point, or Little Good Shepherd. Alternatively, they can choose the private beach or garden at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion. The package, starting at £4,999 ($13,478) for the ceremony and £850 ($2,292) for legal fees, excludes cruise fares and guest costs. Up to eight guests can join the celebration for £600 ($1,618), which includes transportation, reserved seating, champagne, and refreshments. Couples will also enjoy breakfast in bed on their wedding day, transfers to and from the ship, a wedding arch with floral arrangements, and matching bouquets and buttonholes. P&O Cruises provides ceremony specialists and wedding coordinators to ensure a seamless experience. Cheryl Carter, Chief Operations Officer at Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc (BTMI), expressed pride in the recognition, highlighting the island’s dedication to delivering world-class destination weddings. She emphasized the creativity and expertise of local wedding planners in crafting unforgettable ceremonies that showcase Barbados’ rich culture, stunning venues, and exceptional hospitality.
