Perfect Honeymoon : 7 Different Types Of Honeymoon

general5choneymoon1.jpg1. Sun and Surf  – Although you may need to head to a hot spot like the Caribbean, this trip type is sure to lure out the beach bum in both of you. As well as snuggling on a blanket next to a sandy shoreline, you’ll share crimson sunsets and moonlight walks. Rather than going ala cart, and paying separately for airfare, accommodation and meals, you may want to try the popular all-inclusive, whole meal deal, which usually provides one stop shopping. Just make sure that you know what is and isn’t included. You don’t want to be starting your new marriage with a thinner wallet than you anticipated.

2. Cruisin’ & Honeyschmoozin’ – Sunshine will glisten off surrounding waves and the salty breeze will brush your faces as you share a loving embrace.  No it’s not a scene out of The Titanic, but a deck-side scene that you’ll experience while on your honeymoon cruise. Over the past decade, this mode of travel has evolved by leaps and bounds. No longer are vacations at sea all about buffets and cabarets. Each cruise company competes with the next to offer the finest in cuisine, entertainment and activities. And it may be so romantic, while you cruise from port to port, you’ll feel just like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.

3. Spa-tacular Honeymoons – Not too long ago, spa retreats were geared to women, and their gal pals. Now, more treatments are attracting the guys, together with their significant other. Bilateral bliss, paired paradise, whatever you want to call them, treatments for two are hot, hot, hot. And what a great way to start your life together. From manicures to massages, you’ll walk away hand in hand feeling nurtured in mind, body and spirit. Some properties even combine the spa pampering with a round of golf, yoga classes and other recreation opportunities. Just make sure you enjoy them all together!

4. Road and Rail Romantics – The popular saying ‘the journey is the destination’ really applies here, and if you’re both interested in re-tracing the footsteps of time, this trip type may suit your need. Preliminary research will help you decide on the route, and may also shed light on interesting landmarks along the way. If you’re going via rail, stops are pre-scheduled and hotel rooms may be pre-arranged. But if you’re behind the wheel, it’s wise to pre-book your accommodation. This can usually be done online at each property’s web site. Determine how long you want to drive each day, then look forward to working in partnership with your co-pilot. 

5.  Livin’ on the Wilder Side – You don’t have to be an Olympian or the winner of Survivor to get your holiday adrenaline soaring. Tourism agencies and operators are pushing soft adventure thrills everywhere. After shedding your tux and veil, you might choose to strap yourselves together for some zip tracking, go with the flow on a white water raft, or get up close and personal with some real wildlife, the African safari way. Innovative ideas are flowing with abundance and, chances are, you can even find one not too far from your own back yard. 

6. Cultured Couples – History and romance seem to be a perfect fit, so it’s no surprise that many couples choose destinations with older roots. Although Paris and Rome are certainly hot honeymoon spots, cultural diversity makes its way into other major city centers that are more affordable. As well as meandering through markets and museums and browsing galleries and gift stores, couples choosing this honeymoon scene will have a wealth of opportunities at their fingertips. Theatre, dining, shopping and those quaint sidewalk cafes. It all comes in one bundle –and with varied cost, whether your budget is limited, or the sky is your limit.

7. Laying Low – ‘All you need is love’ and maybe that’s all you really want. The wedding’s over, guests have departed and you are with the love of your life. Do you need more? You may just want to just hibernate for a day or two, (or more) and enjoy some together time. Maybe it’s at a favorite hotel, or a quaint B&B, or maybe you’ll just stay at home – It’s cheap, comfortable and as they say it’s where the heart is! Immediate bliss! Source
