Here are some ways you can make your first memories together as a married couple:
Luxurious, exclusive, intimate… this is not your average cruise. Exploring the rivers of Europe on a 5-star Uniworld Cruise is like travelling in a floating boutique hotel. Exquisite accommodation, world-class cuisine, and all-around indulgent comfort combine to provide a loved-up honeymoon like no other. Choose from 500 departures and 40 itineraries on 13 of the world’s most breathtaking rivers. Each leisurely port stop along the way gives you a chance to immerse yourself in the culture, music and heritage of these iconic locations.
Did you know? Uniworld’s sister brand, U by Uniworld, offers more active itineraries and excursions. The onboard vibe is more relaxed, with a focus on nightlife.
Visit the ultimate monument of love, the Taj Mahal on a holiday in India. Pentravel expert Loryn Holmes said: “There are certain iconic landmarks around the world that each have their own value and meaning, but this beautiful monument, the Taj Mahal, is not just beautiful. The story behind it is as powerful and moving as it is seeing it with your own eyes. No one could ever explain the emotions that come over you as you admire true love in its grandest form!”
For a honeymoon package in India, consider a Golden Triangle trip with G Adventures. Spend 8 days exploring India, from Delhi and Agra to Jaipur, taking in famous sights and attractions like the Pink City, the Palace of the Winds and Old Delhi.
A honeymoon is a once in a lifetime opportunity to celebrate your marriage and make plans for your future together, so why not spend it on a bucket-list adventure?
Explore Norway’s natural splendour on a fjord cruise across the Barents Sea from Bergen to Kirkenes, with Hurtigruten. In summer, the Midnight Sun illuminates your epic voyage through magnificent fjords and past towering snow-capped peaks. In winter, the Northern Lights flicker above, while you snuggle together on deck taking in the celestial show.
A honeymoon for adventurers, fjord cruises also give you opportunities to explore on land with optional excursions like snowmobiling through Arctic landscapes to Viking banquets and craft beer tasting.

Consider a Mozambique honeymoon for a completely hassle-free paradise island experience. Accessible by both road and air and visa free for South Africans, you can make it a romantic road trip or fly straight to a private island off the coast. Fall in love with Mozambique’s powder-white beaches, turquoise seas, legendary peri-peri prawns and colonial architecture... While falling even deeper in love with each other. Sigh.
