If you\u2019re looking to add a little romance into your life, taking a cruise is a perfect way to start. The views of our vast and mysterious ocean aboard a cruise ship are so breath-taking it practically screams romance! To top it off we have come up with 10 ideas to enhance this already romantic vacation on your next cruise.<\/p>\n

Arrange a special surprise in your stateroom ahead of time<\/strong>. You can surprise your loved one with a bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, or roses. The possibilities are vast and your CruiseExperts.com<\/a> travel advisor can help with all the details. You can also ask to order a special gift from one of the onboard ship stores and have it wrapped and waiting to open upon arrival.<\/p>\n

Plan a couple\u2019s massage<\/strong>. What better way to get the romance started than a couple\u2019s massage? Some cruise lines offer private his and her spa or Jacuzzi rooms \u00a0for added relaxation and romance. Trust me–a relaxing massage is a great way to get the romance started!<\/p>\n

Upgrade to a suite or balcony. <\/strong>Having your own access to the outdoors is a must for added romance. What better way to end\u00a0the day than a glass of champagne while watching the sunset\u00a0from your very own private balcony?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Private Tour<\/strong>. Many cruise lines offer private tours of the spas or even a private meeting with the ship\u2019s captain in the bridge. Ask your travel advisor today about private tour options while aboard your cruise.<\/p>\n

Bring your own fragrance. <\/strong>Considering candles aren’t allowed aboard cruise ships, essential oils are a great way to add some romantic fragrance. I personally love the smell of roses. I always bring along rose essential oils and dab a few drops on the light bulbs. The heat from the light helps to release this magical smell even after the lights have been turned off. For a little added flare bring some battery operated candles, even though they don\u2019t omit fragrance they\u2019re perfect for setting the mood.<\/p>\n

Take a cooking class or dance lessons<\/strong>. Several cruise lines offer both of these options and they are a great way to spend some time together while doing something a little different.<\/p>\n

Plan a romantic shore trip<\/strong>. Depending on your personal preference there is always a shore excursion<\/a> that is sure to bring on the romance. Go horseback riding along the beach or take a hot air balloon ride. Ask your CruiseExperts.com<\/a> travel advisor for the most romantic options at every port stop destination.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the stars. <\/strong>What\u2019s more romantic than a glass of wine\u00a0while gazing at the stars? Some cruise lines offer special options to enjoy the stars while aboard. The SeaDream Yacht Club<\/a> even features a sleep under the stars on a Balinese Dream Bed opportunity.<\/p>\n
