These Polynesian islands are the perfect way to take a break from the world and start your new lives together.

The Wild Adventure

Some couples bond over adventure, but how do you bring that to your honeymoon without giving up the romance? For adventure lovers, consider booking an African safari for your travels. As you make your way through the continent, you can explore different sanctuaries to see some of the most incredible animals on the planet. Each night, you can stay in luxurious resorts providing you the perfect blend of luxury and adventure. This honeymoon requires a bit of extra planning, so be sure to take the time to make advanced reservations and review any vaccinations or health checks you may need for your visas. Finally, don’t forget to pack a camera to help you remember all the amazing sites you’re about to see. 

The Natural Retreat

While there are plenty of places in the world to enjoy nature, none offer the exclusivity of Ecuador. Home to remote forests and ecological wonders, this small South American country offers natural marvels to make your honeymoon incredible. When visiting, be sure to take the time to visit the Galapagos islands to see one of the most exclusive sites in the world. During your visit, you can fill each day exploring forests, mountains and islands. Don’t forget, however, to take the time to explore the open-air markets and colorful cities for a taste of some of the extraordinary culture here. Ecuador is the ideal destination for those seeking a nature-themed romantic escape.

The Cinematic Romance

When picturing a dream honeymoon, the architecture of Europe beckons to many. Perhaps one of the most iconic romantic vacations is aboard the Orient Express. This train journey takes you across Europe while nestled in the lap of luxury. You can pick your starting and endpoint, but those who are after the cinematic experience would be remiss to skip the canals of Venice or the streets of Paris. You and your spouse will wake up each day in a new site surrounded by the bounty of Europe. Whether you want to socialize with other passengers or spend time just yourselves, travel for a few days or few weeks, this incredible train offers something for everyone.

Congratulations on your wedding. Wherever you go, enjoy the start of your lifetime of happiness together.
