The Unlikely Story of Hannah and Mitchell’s Ocean Adventure
Hannah and Mitchell, a couple from Scotland, met on a cruise. Yes, you read that right: they first crossed paths as passengers aboard P&O Cruises’ Ventura, sailing to Amsterdam and Bruges in September 2019.
What started as a holiday prank quickly turned into something more. Their first date was in the picturesque city of Bruges, and their first kiss took place in the Cuban-themed nightclub on board the Ventura—under the watchful eye of Hannah’s father.
A Love Story Afloat
By 2023, Mitchell proposed to Hannah while they were cruising through the Norwegian fjords aboard the Britannia. The proposal site was Flåm, beside a waterfall. It wasn’t just any old proposal; it was a scene out of a Hollywood romance.
A Wedding at Sea
And so, in May 2025, they took their vows on board the Azura while sailing the Greek Islands. The ceremony was held in the Planet Bar with ocean views behind them. Hannah couldn’t help but feel like all the stars had aligned.
The Family Cruise
Now, with a baby daughter named Mae, who is only three months old, they are preparing to embark on their first family cruise. They will be sailing on Iona this June, heading for the Norwegian fjords. Their journey has become more than just a vacation; it’s a family tradition.
You might think this is new, but it’s not always.
Cruises have been romantic destinations since the inception of P&O in 1840. And now, thanks to Hannah and Mitchell, their story serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of cruising.
