Both Cunard and P&O Cruises will reinstate gay marriages onboard their cruise ships following a reversal of a law denying gay couples the right to marry by the Supreme Court of Bermuda; most ships in both fleets are registered in Bermuda.

Gay travel specialists have described Bermuda’s repeal of same-sex marriage as “disastrous”, and warned that the country’s economy will be damaged as a result of the ban. A Supreme Court ruling last year authorised gay marriage in Bermuda, which also applies to cruise ships registered there. But on Wednesday, the governor of the Atlantic archipelago, John Rankin, approved a bill on Wednesday that reverses it.
