The Most Romantic Cruise Destinations in the World

Planning a romantic getaway can be daunting, but a cruise will do lots of the work for you. Picking the right destination for you and your loved one is an important first step, and this list is a great place to start.

We can't promise you'll recreate the scene from Lady and the Tramp with some authentic Italian spaghetti, but the wine and the night time air might just be magical enough.

Hands down one of the most beautiful places on Earth, Hawaii is more than just a vista. It's a place where loving hearts are everywhere and two lovebirds can finally relax and unwind.

The most romantic city on Earth, plus a beautiful river cruise through wine country and past medieval castles? Yeah, enough said.

The friendly people and charming nature of Amsterdam seem directly out of a Hollywood "Rom-Com." Bonus points if your partner loves tulips!

Mental images of London can be awfully grey and dreary some times, but a romantic walk along the Thames and around Parliment Square will easily conjure images of those royal weddings Americans love so much.

Tahiti and Bora Bora are places that most treat like Shangri-La when it comes to travel. What if I told you that not only are those places VERY real and accessible to you, but that you and your lover can sail to them in the lap of luxury? Sold? Thought so.

Getting to these islands off the coast of Africa will be pricy by air or by sea, but cruising to them is the stuff Honeymoon dreams are made of. You know what? Plan the wedding there too. The pictures alone will be worth it.

Athens isn't a place that screams romance like some other Greek destinations later on this list. That said, the Greek people are a loving people who will embrace you and your partner like few other cultures. The food and wine on top of that-even better.

Dinner sharing a massive platter of (aphrodisiac-filled) paella and then finishing at an open air Arabian spa? Well, you'll likely finish the night in an even more intimate fashion...

Picture this: A stroll through the literal "Lover's Lane" and then a sunset horseback ride on the beach. Sold yet? Thought so.

Australia is thought of as more of an adventure destination by some, but one night walking through downtown Sydney and a show at the Opera House will change that.

A wealthy person's paradise? Sure...but also a romantic destination like none other. Channel your inner James Bond and have your love life shaken and stirred.

Get in touch with nature and then get in touch with your loved one. It's just that simple.

Croatia is known as a Game of Thrones destination, but it also features some of the bluest water and the most beautiful seaside towns. While in Dubrovnik, head to the Old City and take in the views of the Adriatic Sea.

After Paris, the location on this list most geared toward romance is Santorini, thanks to the massive influx of romance tourism in recent years. Simply put, they know you and your partner are coming and they're ready to sweep both of you off your feet.

Time to get your romance's groove back? Head to the place where love isn't just a four-letter word, it's a lifestyle.

Gondola rides down the canal may seem cliche, but some cliches are there for a reason.

Yeah, Bali is one of the sexiest places on the planet, but pivot toward a spa excursion instead. Let the singles heat things up while you and your mate melt into relaxation and eventually into each other's arms.

It's a small and very beautiful island, and the vistas are spectacular. Pro Tip: Head out onto the water in a private boat to get some alone time.

Lover's Beach is where you'll want to spend most of your shore excursion, but anywhere you go in Cabo will excite all of your senses.

With some of the best vineyards in the world, the chance to get out in the secluded countryside with a nice bottle of wine might be too much to pass up. You'll want to bring a blanket.

The sunsets in Aruba are among the best in the world. The sunrises aren't very bad either. Either way, a day on these white sands will recharge a relationship.

The excursions are going to scream eco-tourism and adventure, but if getting the adrenaline pumping isn't your idea of adventure, try spending the day snorkeling and holding hands-you know, to keep your bearings.

As a smaller island, most of the cruise ships that sail to St. Maaren are going to be smaller and more intimate. Get to the island and enjoy the beautiful palms before heading out on a double-rider jetski. Hold on tight!

On your cruise, most are going to see the Malta by bus-which is fantastic-but the extra romance for you and your partner is in a private excursion with a tour of the vineyards. Yes, it's absolutely worth it.
