Engagements

Celebrate the Beginning of Forever

Engagements are moments in time that will never be forgotten and the setting aboard the SOLARIS makes it even that more special. Couples are constantly getting engaged aboard SOLARIS dinner cruises, whether it’s a private moment at sunset or moonlight on the sky deck or a public declaration of love after dinner. Many of our couples who get engaged on the SOLARIS come back for their wedding and reception!

Our staff is honored to assist with making your vision a reality. We can arrange for flowers, music, serving a dessert plate that says “Will You Marry Me?” or any other request you have.

Call our event planners at 850-650-2519 to discuss your surprise engagement plans and we’ll make it happen.
