Carnival Cruise Line is celebrating Valentine’s Day at sea with its largest vow renewal at sea, officiated virtually by the line’s Chief Fun Officer Shaquille O’Neal. 

Today’s celebrations provide reaffirmations of love for over 1,000 married couples across the line’s 28 ships. The celebrations end with a champagne toast, cake and more. 

“A big congratulations to all the couples who are sharing such a meaningful part of their lives with us,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Whether guests are renewing their vows or just creating new memories together, we’re honored to be part of the celebrations that make their time at sea so special.”

Carnival Cruise Line offers a wedding program with year-round engagement, wedding and personal vow renewal celebrations onboard. According to the cruise line, there were over 1,500 of these romantic milestone moments last year.
