Bora Bora, French Polynesia

A real dreamscape, it will come as no surprise that the paradise island of Bora Bora tops this list. With glistening white sand beaches and soaring forested peaks, Bora Bora is the ultimate honeymoon destination.

Paris, France

Often hailed as the city of love, Paris is a wonderful destination for a romantic city break or a relaxing river cruise for two. Stroll down the Champs-Elysée, catch a glimpse of the Mona Lisa, and marvel at the sight of Le Tour Eiffel as you drift slowly down the iconic river Seine. Indulge in croissants, cheese, and some of the best wines in the world in Europe’s most romantic city.

Another of Europe’s most romantic destinations is without a doubt the beautiful north Italian port of Venice. Glide along the iconic canals on a romantic gondola ride and indulge in fresh seafood, sweet gelato, pizza and pasta in the food capital of the world. Stroll around the stunning cobblestone streets and enjoy people-watching in Piazza San Marco as you sip on a cappuccino and appreciate the beautiful art and architecture all around you.

Santorini, Greece

One of the most-visited islands in the Aegean, Santorini is arguably the most beautiful of all the Greek Isles. The bright white clifftop villages of Fira and Oia spill down the hillside and offer superb views of the sun setting over the ocean. With fascinating history, volcanic black sand beaches, and a plethora of vibrant restaurants and bars, Santorini is a fantastic place to retreat to for a romantic getaway.

Hawaii, USA

Hawaii has become synonymous with paradise and is it easy to see why. Emerging from the Pacific, this archipelago of lush emerald islands is the perfect destination for every type of traveller. In particular, Maui is an island associated with honeymooners and is home to some of the most jaw-dropping beaches in the region, the sacred Iao Valley, and humpback whales migrating during the winter months – don’t miss the opportunity to see these majestic creatures in a beautiful island setting.

Combine Hawaii with other gems of the Pacific Ocean on a luxury cruise with Oceania.

Praslin Island, Seychelles

Just 30 miles north of Mahe, the main island in the Seychelles archipelago, lies Praslin Island, a popular stop for beach lovers and couples looking for a romantic holiday. The entire island is ringed with beautiful secluded beaches, coral reefs perfect for snorkelling, and crystal clear waters. Catch a glimpse of some of the world’s rarest birds as you sip on a coconut (or a fruity cocktail) and read a book in the shade of a palm tree on this far-flung peaceful island.

Cozumel, Mexico

While many tourists flock to Cancun and Tulum, we believe the best destination to visit in sunny Mexico is the island of Cozumel. Sheer natural beauty awaits on this pristine island, with its aquamarine waters, palm-lined beaches, and colourful marine life. Journey to this hidden gem on a luxury cruise, taking in other surrounding islands and combining relaxing beach days, active water-based excursions, exploration of Mayan culture, and tastes of the Caribbean.
