Plan the date. Skip the guesswork.
Gondolas with a serenade, dinner on the Seine, a photographer waiting by the blue domes of Oia. Reviews of the experiences couples book, with what each one costs for two.
Four romantic experiences couples keep coming back to.
A dinner on the river, a sunrise in a basket, the portraits you will actually frame and an evening that begins in a hammam.
01Dinner on the waterParis: Romantic Cruise with 3-course Dinner on Seine RiverThree courses while Notre-Dame and the Eiffel Tower slide past the window.
02Up before the sunRomantic Sunrise Balloon Tour in MajorcaA balloon basket over Mallorca at first light, landed in time for breakfast.
03Portraits for twoOia: Couple photoshoot with 30 edited PhotosAn hour with a photographer among the lanes of Oia, edited photos back within days.
04An evening offMarrakech: Romantic Spa Experience with DinnerA hammam and massage for both of you in Marrakech, then a candlelit table.
Six places that do romance better than most.
The river city, the caldera island, the lagoon with the gondolas, the Dalmatian sunset coast, the canal ring and the rice-terrace valley. Start with the place, then pick the date.
The romantic boat cruise: the most booked date on the site.
A gondola under the Rialto, a sloop off Hvar with an Aperol in hand, a glass-roofed boat on the Seine at dinner. More couples book a deck for two than any other experience we cover.

The USA has more romantic experiences on the site than any other country, and they split four ways. Pick the kind of date first; the from-price is what one of you pays.

Couples photoshootsTimes Square, a Maui beach, a photographer who knows the light.

1
Romantic Venice: 30 Minute Gondola Ride with Serenade
Meet at Santa Maria del Giglio for a shared gondola ride through Venice’s Grand Canal and smaller canals. A singer performs from one boat in the flotilla, not necessarily yours. You’ll pass the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Accademia Bridge, and Santa Maria della Salute. The ride lasts about 30 minutes and returns to the starting pier.

Paris Private Romantic Horse & Carriage Ride
from $169
Proposals and couples photoshoots, planned down to the hiding place.
A photographer posing as a tourist by the Eiffel Tower, a carriage in Central Park, a terrace above the blue domes. You bring the ring; they handle the angle, the timing and the edited photos.
A romantic experience is priced per person or per couple. Check which.
A private sail quoted at $300 may already cover both of you, while a $150 champagne flight is often charged per seat. The listings below are quoted for the pair, so the number on the card is the whole bill for two.
What a romantic experience costs, from a city game to a private yacht.
Every date on the site, grouped by what one of you pays. Plenty of good evenings for two come in under the price of a restaurant dinner.
Love-lock city games, sunset spritz boats out of Zadar, seafood on Jimbaran beach.
Seine dinner cruises, couples photoshoots, a spa afternoon for two.
Champagne flights, private sailing charters, a proposal with a whole crew behind it.
Three romantic experiences that only make sense for two.
A massage table built for one sits empty half the time. These were designed around a couple from the start.
The couples massage
Two tables in one room, the same oils, the same hour. The better spas add a bath strewn with petals or a private jacuzzi afterwards; the cheaper ones send you to a shared pool. Read what is included after the treatment, because that is where the price difference hides.

The gondola ride
A gondola seats up to five, so the shared rides fill every seat and the private ones cost far more. Thirty minutes on the Grand Canal is the classic; the quieter side canals feel more like a date. Some boats carry a singer and an accordion, which you either love or very much do not.

The champagne flight
Small planes and helicopters over Miami Beach, Maui, Niagara and the Hudson, most of them private, most with champagne poured on landing rather than in the air. Sunset slots cost more and sell first. Check the seat count: some prices are per person, some cover the whole cabin.

Four romantic experiences you cannot arrange the night before.
Most dates can be booked from the hotel bar. These run on a single evening departure, a planning call or the morning wind.
- 01Secret Proposal Photoshoot in Rome + ReelA surprise proposal shoot starts with a planning call: the spot, the signal and where the photographer hides are agreed before the day.
- 02Santorini: Romantic Sunset Caldera Cruise with DinnerOne sailing an evening, timed to the Oia sunset. Summer dates go first.
- 03Romantic Sunrise Balloon Tour in MajorcaBalloons launch at dawn and only in calm air, so book early in the trip to leave a morning spare if the flight is called off.
- 04Paris: Romantic Cruise with 3-course Dinner on Seine RiverTables are set per sailing, and the late departures that catch the tower lit up are the ones that fill.
By place: the cities couples choose
By kind of date: a boat, a table, a camera or a spa
