Planning your honeymoon is an exciting and joyful experience, but how do you keep it that way during a global pandemic? The good news is that love is not canceled. Plenty of couples of finding unforgettable ways to mark this special time in their lives.
To get you inspired, we spoke to Blue Nile, the world’s leading online retailer of diamond engagement rings, to share our best advice for planning a memorable honeymoon during the pandemic.
Rely on a Qualified Travel Advisor
Couples can still plan and take their honeymoon during this period, but it is highly advisable they contact a travel advisor. At Cruise Planners, our travel advisors can take all the time, hassle, and stress out of planning and they are also knowledgeable about COVID-19 travel restrictions and safe destinations to visit.
Do Your Homework
Before you book anything, you need to be up to date with the most recent travel restrictions. Many countries have restricted American tourists from visiting and most of the countries that are allowing American tourists are requiring proof of a negative COVID-19 test before entry. Quarantining in a hotel or private residence after arrival is also required in some countries, so you must be informed.
Get Creative
Glamping in an RV rental is a great idea for a local honeymoon celebration. Booking a suite also feels very special as they may come with a butler and concierge service. Little touches like that will really elevate the whole experience. Remember, Florida, Hawaii and other domestic vacation hotspots can be super special too if you are together.
You Can Still Travel Overseas
If you want to get away, the Caribbean and Mexico are open. An over-the-water bungalow at Sandals Royale in Montego Bay, Sandals South Coast in Negril, or Sandals Grande Saint Lucian would be an amazing option. Check out the latest deal from Sandals.
