Winter weddings have an added touch of romance, from candlelit venues cloaked in evergreens to the ever-present prospect of snow. If you’re tying the knot in winter, you can guarantee the white stuff on your honeymoon by joining one of these specially curated small-group tours, bookable with Culture Trip. Or, alternatively, escape the cold with an action-packed trip to a winter sun destination – a white wedding doesn’t have to mean a chilly honeymoon.

Seeing Southern Thailand at its most beautiful

If you want to avoid the downpours of rainy season (May to October) and the overly steamy humidity of hot season (March to May) in Thailand, then a winter honeymoon is the ideal time to enjoy this Southeast Asian paradise. Southern Thailand is a place that seamlessly blends outdoor adventure with pure serenity, so you can spend the morning kayaking through mangroves and an afternoon lied flat on a pristine beach. Our 11-day trip blends the two beautifully. You can swim with tropical fish off Hong Island and spot exotic birds on a longtail boat ride, but you’ll also enjoy a sunset barbecue cruise in Ao Nang and a night rocking the boat in your floating raft house accommodation on Khao Sok Lake. You’ll also have plenty of free time to make the most of crystal clear waters and golden beaches aplenty.

Discovering a totally new culture in Japan

Japan is a year-round destination, so whenever the big day, you can always follow it up with a trip to the Land of the Rising Sun. Our extensive 12-day Rail Trip takes you from Osaka to Tokyo, calling at Hiroshima, Kyoto and Hakone, as well as detours to bamboo forests, shinto shrines and Miyajima Island. Few countries boast such a rich and complex culture, coupled with such a diversity of landscape. We’ll immerse you in both, be it through sushi-making and taiko drumming to cruising on Lake Ashi and soaking in natural onsen (hot springs). The best part about taking this trip in winter? It has to be our stop in the Japanese Alps, where you’ll visit Hida Folk Village, covered by a blanket of snow, to learn about local culture, before settling down for a sake tasting at a local brewery.
