Guests must take local legal advice from a specialist
matrimonial lawyer in advance to check whether their marriage
under Bermudian law would be recognized as valid in their
home country in accordance with clause 3.

7. Changes to the wedding by the guest
Subject always to availability and to payment of any expenses
incurred by Cunard as a result, a Guest may change the date of
the wedding up to 60 days before the voyage departure date,
so long as the request is for a change of date on the same
voyage and either the license issued by the Registry General
of Bermuda is valid for that date or a new license can be
obtained. Please note that the license is valid for three months
only from the date of issue. Any requests for a change of the
wedding to a different voyage will be considered if received more
than four months before the voyage departure date, but the
request will be subject to availability and to payment of both
an administration charge of $100 and any expenses (such as a
charge for a new license, should one be necessary) incurred by
Cunard as a result. Cancelation charges may also be payable
for the voyage under the Booking Conditions. After Finishing
Touches have been booked, Cunard will try to accommodate any
request for changes, but such changes are always at Cunard’s
discretion and are subject to an administration charge of $20
plus any expenses incurred. Changes to Finishing Touches can
only be made up to four (4) weeks prior to the departure date of
the voyage on which the ceremony will take place.
8. Cancelation of the wedding by the guest
The Guest may cancel the Contract at any time by giving notice
in writing to Cunard Customer Contact Centre, Cunard, Carnival
House, 100 Harbour Parade, Southampton SO15 1ST, but in that
event Cunard shall be entitled to levy a cancelation charge as a
percentage of the price of the Cunard.
Weddings Package, as appropriate, in accordance with the
following scales:
Please note that the costs to Cunard of cancelation of any
Finishing Touches booked by the Guest will be payable in
addition to the amounts set out above. Cancelation of the
Contract does not automatically cancel the voyage contract
between Cunard and the Guest. Please see the Booking
Conditions for details of cancelation charges applicable in the
event that the Guest wishes to cancel the voyage.
9. Changes to the wedding by Cunard
Cunard reserves the right to alter the time or the day upon which
the wedding is to take place on the voyage or to alter wedding
arrangements (including but not limited to offerings within the
wedding package) should it become necessary on operational,
commercial, or other grounds. Due to possible itinerary changes
Cunard does not recommend engraving commemorative
items with the date of the wedding in advance of the ceremony
taking place. Cunard cannot be held liable if engraved items
are incorrect as a result of such changes.The ceremony may be
performed by the Deputy Captain instead of the Captain, if the
Deputy Captain is in command of the vessel at the time of the
ceremony.
While Cunard will do its best not to cancel the wedding after a
booking has been made, it shall nevertheless be entitled at any
time to cancel the Contract where this reasonably becomes
necessary on operational, commercial, or other grounds. Cunard
will inform the Guests of any such cancelation as quickly as
possible and will make a refund of monies received under the
Contract. Cunard will have no further liability in respect of the
cancelation.
Cunard will also be entitled to cancel the Contract if it has not
been possible to obtain a valid license from the Registry General
of Bermuda for the wedding date. If the failure to obtain a
valid license is due to the fault or delay of the Registry General
of Bermuda and there is no fault or delay on the part of the
Guest, Cunard will make a refund of monies received under the
Contract. Cunard will have no further liability. A caveat may be
recorded against an application for a license where the Registry
General of Bermuda receives a written notice from a person
stating his name, that the marriage is forbidden and the grounds
as to why the marriage should not take place. Guests will be
responsible for liaising with the Registry General of Bermuda
at the Guests’ cost to ensure that any caveat is removed before
the marriage can go ahead. Cunard reserves the right to cancel
the wedding where, for these reasons, the license cannot be
obtained in time. Cancelation charges for the Contract will
then apply. Please note that the provisions above apply to
cancelation of the wedding under the Contract only. Please
see the Booking Conditions for full details of Guests’ rights on
alteration and cancelation of voyage bookings both prior to and
after departure.
10. Insurance & liability
Cunard recommends that Guests take out suitable wedding
insurance to cover circumstances which may mean they are
unable to get married. Please note that the Cunard travel
insurance will not cover Guests for the costs of a canceled
wedding. For claims not involving personal injury or death due to
Cunard’s negligence, Cunard’s liability for improper performance
of the Contract shall be limited to a maximum of twice the
price which Guests affected paid for the Cunard Weddings
Package and Finishing Touches.The information and prices
contained in the Cunard Weddings brochures and these Terms
and Conditions are correct to the best of Cunard’s knowledge
as of Jan 2017 and are subject to change with or without notice.
No information provided should be taken as legal advice and
the limitations of liability in clause 3 apply to all aspects of
the weddings service. Photographs used are for illustrative
purposes only.

1. Produce all personal documentation needed for the wedding
to take place (e.g. valid passport and where appropriate,
copy of decree of divorce, death certificate or deed poll name
change certificate).

correctly records their personal details. Cunard cannot accept
liability for problems caused as a result of inaccuracy (or
inconsistency when compared to documents such as the
Guest’s passport) of personal details on the wedding license
and/or other documentation. Please be aware that such
problems can mean the wedding has to be canceled.
3. Obtain and pay for any documentation required to facilitate
the marriage, whether such documentation is required at
any time by Cunard or the Registry General of Bermuda.
Any liaison with the Registry General of Bermuda in relation
to the marriage which becomes necessary as a result
of a requirement for additional documentation must be
undertaken by the Guest, unless Cunard agrees otherwise.
4. Obtain and pay for any documentation required to facilitate
the marriage to be translated into English where necessary
and by an approved translator.
