Meanwhile the cruise ship also offers personalized customization services to meet the romantic needs of different newly marriage couples.

On specific dates, prospective newlyweds can reserve by calling Haizhu district marriage registration office in advance to have their marriage certificates to be granted and organize their special wedding ceremonies on board, it said.

Since the beginning of this year, Haizhu district government has deeply integrated the wedding industry with the characteristics of the district's hotels, catering, cultural tourism and transportation sectors after having launched a series of unique outdoor marriage registration and certification granting offices.
