Couple Weds at Sea After Meeting on P&O Cruises Ships

Hannah Still and her husband Mitchell, both from Southampton, began their love story aboard a P&O Cruises ship in September 2019. They met on the P&O Ventura during a cruise to Amsterdam and Bruges, turning a holiday prank into a heartfelt connection that evolved into engagement and marriage.

From First Meeting to Family

The couple’s journey began with their first date in Bruges. Their initial kiss was shared in the ship’s nightclub, under the watchful eye of Hannah’s father. Saying goodbye at the cruise’s end was emotionally difficult for them. Over the years, they nurtured their relationship through various cruises, culminating in a beautiful proposal.

A Magical Proposal

Mitchell proposed to Hannah in 2023 while they cruised through the Norwegian fjords on the Britannia. He chose the picturesque location of Flåm next to a waterfall for this special moment, deepening the couple’s bond with the sea.

A Dream Wedding at Sea

In May 2025, Hannah and Mitchell exchanged vows onboard the Azura while sailing through the enchanting Greek Islands. The ceremony took place in the Planet Bar, providing stunning ocean views. “Walking around the ship as everyone applauded felt surreal; it was like being a film star,” Hannah remarked.

Continuing the Tradition

Now residing in St Neots, the couple is set for their first family cruise this June. They will travel with their three-month-old daughter Mae on the Iona to the Norwegian fjords, extending this newfound tradition of cruising to the next generation.

Community and Connection

Hannah expressed her excitement about sharing this experience with Mae and highlighted the importance of cruising in her life. “Cruising has always been part of my life, and continuing that tradition for Mae feels so special,” she said.

Remarks from P&O Cruises

Paul Ludlow, President of Carnival UK & P&O Cruises, commented on the significance of Hannah and Mitchell’s story. He noted, “Their story exemplifies the meaningful connections formed at sea. Our ships are designed to foster relationships and facilitate unforgettable experiences.”
