1. Resorts and All-Inclusive Resorts. Resorts are the most popular honeymoon destinations, whether it’s a flight around the world away, or just a few hours drive. The difference between resorts and hotels is that resorts are geared toward vacationers and people just trying to get away from it all. They include recreational activities like pools, private beaches and golf courses, as well as several dining options. &nbspAll-inclusive resorts and clubs are perfect if you’re looking for a true escape from the pressures of wedding planning. You’ll pay one price up front, to cover your room, meals, use of recreational facilities (such as windsurfers, tennis courts, and snorkeling gear), airport transfers, and other amenities. At some resorts, you’ll pay for your alcoholic beverages, snacks, and other incidentals separately; at others there are no extra costs, not even tips for the staff. &nbspThe real advantage of this system is that you’re free to enjoy the activities and your meals, and concentrate on having a wonderful time without thinking about how much every little thing costs. Most all-inclusive resorts are geared toward keeping visitors on the premises in a state of total relaxation. Visits away from the resort are usually organized group tours. 

2. Cruises. Cruises are similar to all-inclusive resorts in that you pay one price which includes lodging, meals, and a variety of recreational activities. The difference, of course, is that the cruise is a resort in motion. On a cruise, you’ll have the opportunity to visit several different locations, whether they’re tropical islands or Alaskan harbors. The best part is you don’t have to do anything to travel around – your room and luggage move with you.   Cruise lines offer a wide variety of experiences. Each boat and itinerary has a different "personality." There are highly social cruises, cultural cruises, and even fitness-oriented cruises. Your travel agent will guide you in the right direction.

3. Adventure Vacations. While many couples envision themselves lying peacefully on a beach after their wedding, others find this type of vacation a formula for utter boredom. If you’d rather be energized than relaxed by your trip, you have lots of options for an action-packed honeymoon. You can go white-water rafting down the Colorado River, rock climbing, camping, or on an African safari. Charter a yacht, explore a cave, or do whatever brings you excitement. You don’t even have to travel far to enjoy an adventure honeymoon – you may be able to map out a bike route or hiking trip across your own state.   If you’re not very experienced with the type of adventure you crave there are guided trips available for just about everything. Tour groups also require a lot less time to plan, which can be a huge advantage. Of course, this type of vacation is best enjoyed when it’s the first choice for both you and your fiancé. Another bonus, getting in shape for your honeymoon will be a great way to relieve wedding-related stress!

4. Cultural Vacations. Exploring Paris, practicing your Japanese in Tokyo, or touring Rome might be your idea of the ultimate honeymoon. While they include several elements of resort vacations and adventure vacations, cultural honeymoons focus mainly on exploring a new destination. For some couples, this means traveling to the land of their heritage. Others use their honeymoon as the perfect time to tour Europe or visit Asia. &nbspA cultural honeymoon doesn't have to mean traveling across the globe, either. American cities like San Francisco and New York offer lots of exploration possibilities. You can take a cultural vacation on your own, or go as part of a group tour. Better yet, combine a bit of both, getting the history and important sites from a short tour and then spending some time on your own, soaking up the local ambiance.
