A castle wedding stokes the fantasy of being a princess bride swept into matrimony by a dashing prince (the notion even seduced Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise).
Not all castles are open to the public across Europe, but cruise-wedding coordinators can help couples sailing on Royal Caribbean ships arrange a wedding at a welcoming castle.
Keep in mind that many European countries have strict marriage requirements than may include a residency period. For this reason, many couples choose to first legally marry at home in a civil ceremony and later have a symbolic wedding in a castle when their cruise ship is in port.
