Yes, newlyweds can honeymoon in gorgeous, romantic locations at budget prices. Here are 10 low-cost honeymoon destinations for the money-savvy couple:
2. Poconos: The Poconos has been a top-destination for honeymooners for over a century. The Poconos offer a woodsy, mountain experience but are not far from shopping and recreation. The Poconos are perfect for waterskiing in the summer or snow skiing in the winter. The all-inclusive Caesar resorts go overboard on the romance; the honeymoon isn’t over until the couple has soaked in a 7-foot-tall champagne glass whirlpool tub!
4. Prague: Get the same romantic atmosphere of Paris at a fraction of the cost in Prague. The Czech Republic is one of the least expensive European countries to visit, and Prague is a gem of a city. Cathedrals and castles and museums make Prague a spectacular place to explore. Every couple should take a romantic stroll along Charles Bridge.
5. Cancun: Mexico is cheap, and Cancun is a surprisingly low-cost honeymoon destination. Take advantage of all-inclusive resorts on the immaculate beaches of Cancun. Be sure to spend one day off the beach; take a jungle tour, where you will see Mayan ruins and get up close and personal with all sorts of exotic animals.
6. Brittany, France: The French countryside is filled with history, scenic vistas, remote beaches, and imposing castles. Take advantage of inexpensive French countryside inns, rent a car, and explore the small villages of Brittany. Be sure to meander through Vitre, where a great castle looms over the preserved medieval town.
7. Las Vegas: The slump in the U.S. economy took a toll on major tourist spots- Las Vegas included. Since everything in Las Vegas is high-scale, now is the time to get posh accommodations at a major discount. Enjoy great food, the best in entertainment, and don’t forget to visit the famous casinos. Limit your gambling, of course, to stay on budget.
8. Thailand: Get a deal on a hotel in Thailand and enjoy the country’s incredibly inexpensive cuisine, transportation, and shopping. Thailand is famous for hospitality. Stay near the beautiful Koh Phangan Beaches instead of the more popular Phuket beaches and save loads of money.
9. Honduras: Honduras is the least expensive Central American country to visit. The country boasts islands with gorgeous beaches. Book your honeymoon in Rotan, famous for its warm, white beaches, and second largest coral reef in the world.
10. Caribbean Cruise: Cruises are fantastic for those looking to save money. A five-day cruise can be obtained for as little as $299 a person! The secret to saving money when booking a cruise is to remember how the industry makes money. Remember that everything that is not free aboard the ship is tremendously overpriced! Every large cruise-ship has jewelry stores, specialty food shops, and tourist shops. They make most of their money selling alcoholic beverages and at the casino. If couples limit their extra purchases to a preset amount of money, the Caribbean cruise is by far the least expensive honeymoon option out there. Save money for at least one off-shore excursion! No cruise is complete without snorkeling, scuba-diving, of swimming with the dolphins.

1. New Orleans: This beautiful city is still recovering from its devastating economic blow thanks to Hurricane Katrina. The people of New Orleans are desperate to regain their top-spot as a tourist site, and have lowered their prices tremendously to lure people back in! Look for major discounts in bed-and-breakfasts and hotels inside the French Quarter, or even lower prices right outside of it. New Orleans is a beautiful, romantic city. Make sure you amble over to Jackson Square for a carriage ride about the city.
3. Vietnam: Show-white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, all-inclusive resorts, and the weather is almost always… perfect. Vietnam is working hard to overcome the stigma attached to its name by offering amazing vacation packages so the world recognizes its inimitable beauty. Those staying on the beach should take a boat and visit Vietnam’s pristine, desolate islands, or explore watery caves off of the shoreline.
