 If you've dreamed of tying the knot at sea onboard a Cruise ship, you can now do so legally. Norwegian Cruise Line is inviting couples to tie the knot with new legally recognized ceremonies at sea aboard certain ships.

 
The Miami-based cruise line said Thursday that captains will start performing legal weddings at sea on the Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway this month. Ceremonies will also be held on Norwegian Escape, which will sail from Miami after it launches this fall. 
 
The line’s wedding package includes a bridal bouquet and matching boutonniere, Champagne toast and wedding cake. A wedding coordinator will assist couples during the planning process. 
 
The couple's marriage license will be issued by the Bahamas, the Miami-based cruise operator said.
 
Additionally couples sailing on these three ships and others fleetwide can also choose from a handful of other wedding packages, including a "Symbolic" non-legal ceremony that's also performed by the ship captain, and legal "Harborside" or "Destination" weddings.
 
In addition to weddings at sea, Norwegian offers destination weddings at ports of call and embarkation ports.
