Plan the Dream Honeymoon Without Breaking the Bank
Your clients don’t have to over-spend to make their dream come true.
After the whirlwind of wedding planning, a honeymoon should be about bliss—not breaking the bank. As a Europe Specialist at Europe Express, I curate tailor-made itineraries for travel advisors whose clients seek unique, experiential, and budget-friendly adventures. If your clients are dreaming of a European honeymoon, here are some expert tips to help them maximize their experience without overspending.
Consider The Benefits of Traveling During the Off-Season
Encourage your clients to explore Europe during the should seasons. For example, honeymooning in Greece during April and October can mean lower prices, fewer crowds, and an extended stay within budget. Not sure when the best time to visit a specific destination is? Your Europe Specialist is an excellent resource to help your clients identify the perfect travel window=for both savings and an unforgettable experience.
Book Early for the Best Deals
When qualifying your clients, it’s best to find out when their big day is and if they prefer to travel immediately after their wedding or at a later point in time. Once your clients’ dates are finalized, encourage them to book early. The sooner they lock in flights, accommodations, and tours, the more they’ll save. I recommend consulting with our team of Europe Specialists So they can provide insider guidance on the best deals for their chosen destination(s).
Think Beyond Traditional Honeymoon Spots
If your clients are looking to enjoy a honeymoon that’s both extraordinary and budget friendly, I highly recommend destinations like Iceland, Portugal, and Croatia. These emerging honeymoon hotspots not only deliver stunning landscapes and unique experiences, but they also offer the opportunity to spend less on traditional costs like accommodation—and more on the experiences that truly create lasting memories.
11 Days
Experience the best of Croatia in 11 days, with stays in Dubrovnik, Split, and Zagreb, exploring the country’s rich history with iconic cultural tours that unearth the natural beauty and character of this Eastern European country.
8 Days

The key is to show your clients that they don’t need to overspend on luxury hotels to have the honeymoon of a lifetime. Instead, they can focus on experiences that make their trip extraordinary—whether that’s exploring Iceland’s glaciers, wine-tasting in Portugal, or sailing along Croatia’s coast!
Maximize the Value of Day Trips
Europe Express offers a wide selection of handpicked day tours that allow travelers to explore beyond major cities without extra overnight costs. For example, from Lisbon, honeymooners can visit Fatima and Evora without having to pay to stay the night or for transportation with our Shared Tour: Fatima, Obidos, Batalha, and Nazare Full Day Tour Including Lunch and Shared Tour: Evora Full Day Wine Tour with Lunch. Utilizing excursions is a great way for travelers to save money and connect with the local culture in a meaningful way Without rushing from city to city.
Optimize Transportation for a Seamless Journey
While your clients are on their honeymoon, consider the duration of intra-European flights, trains, and ferries so your clients have a clear understanding of what some of their travel days may look like. In Greece, we offer the standard ferry, high speed ferries, and even business class. A simple upgrade can make a world of difference for your clients and elevate their experience. This applies to traveling by train as well, the most popular mode of transportation in Europe. For example, A Stunning Swiss Adventure: Zurich, Lucerne, and Geneva is a honeymoon itinerary where clients can take several scenic Swiss trains! While travel time may be longer, the trip includes bucket-list views that can be another highlight of your clients’ experience. By reconsidering how your clients are traveling once in Europe, travel days can be truly enjoyable—and your Europe Specialist can help determine what those best modes of transportation would be!
Create More Than Just a Honeymoon—Create an Experience
Booking a honeymoon is about more than just securing flights and accommodations—it’s about crafting a unique and unforgettable experience for couples embarking on one of the most important journeys of their lives. By keeping this advice in mind, you can transform the honeymoon process from a simple booking into a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
