"More and more places are accessible -- like Mauritius, Seychelles and the Caribbean," he adds. By budgeting, planning a year in advance and possibly postponing the holiday, couples are able to save for the more exotic hotspots they crave. Of course, there are many other ways to save on a romantic vacation package as well.
Couples who feel they may have trouble financing the romantic vacation package of their dreams can find help from family and friends. "There are a lot more honeymoon registries these days," says Kyle Brown, executive director of the Bridal Association of America.
Honeymoon registries are popular for first-time newlyweds who may not have as much savings and also for couples who are getting re-married, since they don't need all the home goods.
Honeymoon registries (like those found at www.sendusoff.com or www.honeymoonwishes.com) allow guests to give gifts like suite upgrades, romantic dinners, traveler's checks or cruise shore excursions to make romantic travel more affordable for the bride and groom.
Couples who are booking a cruise can often set up a gift registry right through their cruise line's website as well. Wedding guests often like this thoughtful type of gift purchase, which is ideal for couples who already have everything they need.
Couples can also get amazing bargains on a romantic vacation package if it's booked alongside a destination wedding. Hotel chains like Sandals and Palace Resorts offer complimentary weddings when the newlyweds agree to stay at the hotel for the honeymoon.
A seven-night stay for the couple and two guests at one of Sandal's 12 Caribbean properties will cost around $3,500 to $5,000. This price does not include airfare, but includes all meals, premium drinks, activities and rooms.
