The fleet’s captains can also officiate the ceremonies, a spokesperson added.

‘This is one for the history books!’

‘I am absolutely thrilled to announce that starting today, we welcome same-sex couples to marry on our ships while in international waters. This is one for the history books!’

Same-sex marriage laws come into effect in Malta, as of this weekend

‘Celebrity Weddings has already hosted many same-sex weddings in the US, Mexico, and the Caribbean, where legal,’ said Barbara Whitehall, Managing Director of Celebrity’s ‘The Wedding Experience’.

‘We are ecstatic that this new Malta ruling opens up marriage equality for anyone and everyone sailing with Celebrity Cruises while in international waters.’
