A group travelling between Palma and Olbia-Sardinia celebrated the ceremony onboard the Island Escape and the captain led the ceremony.

According to Island Cruises, the event was reminiscent of a wedding as the bride was accompanied to the altar by her father.

"Once they had renewed their vows the partying commenced with a reception held in The Lookout. It was a fantastic event as they had brought along 47 guests to celebrate with them and enjoy their special day," the cruise company reported.

Meanwhile, Island Cruises has recently announced the addition of a 7-night fly-cruise holiday from Durham Tees Valley. The company already operates a 2 week cruise and stay holiday from this airport.
