29 Destination Wedding Favors Inspired by Travel

These unique and thematic gift ideas will help guests remember your celebration's location.

Emily is a former editorial assistant for MarthaStewart.com.

Destination weddings are like mini vacations for traveling guests—and don't the best vacations involve souvenirs? When it comes to faraway celebrations, guests probably have to put in extra work to attend. In turn, they deserve a reward for their troubles. Thematic, standout thank-you gifts are a great way to show your gratitude. If you're in the market for ideas, we've got the gallery for you. Whether you're marrying out-of-state, out-of-country, or out-of-continent, these destination wedding favor ideas are here to inspire.

For truly memorable favors, choose items that are related to your wedding's location, whether they were made there , represent the destination's culture or scenery, or help celebrants enjoy the locale while in town. That might mean handcrafted Mexican blankets, potted cacti for a desert wedding, or sunglasses for a beachside event —all of which are on the slides ahead. Alternatively, you can opt for goods that are related to travel more broadly. These blue luggage tags are the perfect example. The bride and groom packaged them in muslin bags tied with Froufrou Chic ribbon for their Bali event by the sea.

For more unique and useful ideas, click through the rest of our slideshow. We're here to show you exactly how to nod to your location with your goodbye ( or welcome! ) gifts. Whether you're city-hopping stateside to tie the knot or bringing your nuptials abroad, you can't go wrong with destination-themed wedding favors like these. They're bound to be the best vacation memorabilia your attendees have ever taken home.

Inspiration for Your Travel Themed Wedding or Destination Wedding

Last updated: June 14, 2024 - Written by Jessica Norah 106 Comments

Planning a travel themed wedding? The goal of this article is to provide inspiration for couples planning a travel inspired wedding or destination wedding.

I guess you could say that Laurence and I had a travel-themed wedding although it was more of a destination wedding. We legally married at sea aboard the RMS Queen Mary 2 in the Atlantic Ocean. Then we had a small ceremony in Venice Italy for family and friends to celebrate our wedding in Venice .

Even though we did not have the most traditional wedding ceremony or reception, I spent quite a bit of time online researching awesome travel themed wedding items and ideas about ways a couple could incorporate their wanderlust and love of travel into their wedding ceremony and wedding reception.

We’ve put together a list of over 100 items that we think would be perfect for a travel-themed wedding. These include travel themed wedding invitations, wedding rings, wedding decorations, table place cards, cake toppers, DIY ideas, wedding favor gifts, and more!

Many of our recommendations are focused on handmade items and unique products that can be customized to fit the style of any wedding couple. We include items that should fit just about any type of wedding and suit any wedding budget.

We have physically reviewed many of these items and hope you enjoy this list of wonderful travel themed wedding items. We hope it inspires you and gives you plenty of ideas for your own travel themed wedding!

Table of Contents:

100+ Ideas for a Travel Themed Wedding

In 2015, one survey of American wedding couples found that approximately 21% have a destination wedding of some sort, whether domestically or internationally. The study found that there are more than 350,000 destination weddings each year, 77% of which take place in the continental US and 23% at international destinations with the Caribbean and Mexico being the two most popular destinations.

However, not all couples want or can have a destination wedding, but many still want to incorporate their love of travel into their wedding celebration. You don’t have to have a destination wedding to fill your marriage celebration with travel inspired touches. 

So we are sharing over 100 products we found during our search that we thought would be perfect for a travel themed wedding or a destination wedding. These simple travel themed wedding decorations can help transport your guests to another land, and make them feel like they’re on holiday, even if they are still in their hometown.

I got truly interested in the topic of how to incorporate elements of travel into one’s wedding after we decided to get customized engagement/wedding rings with a strong travel element.  Many of the items on this list we physically reviewed. Some were items we purchased or received as gifts, and others were given to us by artists for review. Other products are just ones I loved when researching travel themed weddings online.

The majority of the items included on our list are handmade or hand customized items, made by a single artist, family, or a small business. Many of these items are truly unique and the majority can be customized to include elements that are special to you.

Note that most wedding items are marketed towards heterosexual couples with bride/groom and his/her versions. However, given that most of our recommended items can be personalized, most artists are happy to adjust wording/colors/features to suit a gay wedding, civil union, nonbinary couple, etc. Just message them to ask!

We know that many people, like us, want to try to support local businesses when we can, and with Etsy it is easy to find products that are made in one’s own country. We share items that are made worldwide, with a large number of products produced in the USA, Canada, and the UK. But we also include items made by artists in Australia, the Ukraine, France, India, Brazil, Israel, etc. 

When shopping, we recommend ordering items well before you need them for the wedding. Personalized and custom orders will take longer to make and international shipping times can be slow.

Although we chose these items specifically for a travel themed wedding, many of these items will also work for travel themed bridal showers, bon voyage parties, birthday parties, baby showers, engagement parties, wedding couple gifts, and just as general travel-related gifts.

There are so many possible ways to incorporate travel elements into your wedding, and we have tried to cover a variety of items from cake toppers to wedding invitations to wedding favors to wedding jewelry. We also tried to include items that fit a number of budgets and types of weddings. 

We hope that this list helps inspire you to incorporate some element of your own wanderlust into your upcoming wedding or party! 

Let’s get started!

Travel Themed Wedding Invitations & Save the Date Cards

Let your guests know that there will be a travel theme for the wedding from the beginning, with your travel themed wedding invitations and Save the Date cards. Get your guests excited by sending them something like a passport or boarding pass inspired wedding invite.

Most also offer other wedding stationery so you can also get matching menus, table place cards, thank you cards, etc. if you find a design you really love!

Just note when shopping for wedding invitations, the initial fee is normally the design fee which pays for the designer’s time to customize and tailor the invites to fit the look you want. Then there is normally a separate fee for the printing and shipping of the needed number of invites.

Below are some great travel-inspired options to get your imagination going.

Boarding Pass Wedding Invitation

These customizable destination-specific wedding invitations will get your guests super excited for your big day. The set includes a boarding pass inspired invite plus RSVP card. You can also add a matching Save the Date card to your order. You can customize them for any destination you want.

These self-print boarding pass inspired wedding invites and travel-themed custom photo save the date cards are perfect for those who are looking for a more budget-friendly option. Price includes customization, proofing, and the print-ready files that come ready for printing at home or a local printshop.

These invites are great for those who have access to high-quality printing or for those who are planning to send their invites or save the dates electronically via email.

The handmade world map ring is also available in less expensive designs and metals for those with a smaller budget, although these may be less suitable for a daily wear engagement ring. See more world map ring designs in Layla’s online shop .

Interlocking Custom Coastline or Mountain Rings

This beautiful two-part platinum interlocking coastline ring is handmade to show off the outline of your favorite coastline—it doesn’t get much more unique than that! It is the perfect wedding ring to celebrate a special holiday, country of birth, or a location you will never forget.

You’ll be given the opportunity to choose your coastline or mountain range by specifying a place name, or stretch between two points once you’ve added the ring to your shopping cart. If you and your partner share a favorite place, you might consider getting matching rings.

Once you have your wedding rings picked out, you need to think about how you want to store and present them on your wedding day. Your wedding rings are front and center at your ceremony so it’s important to make sure they arrive safely.

Travel Themed Bow Ties & Neck Ties

Adding a travel themed bow tie or neck tie to your wedding wardrobe is an elegant but subtle way to incorporate your love of travel into your special day.

If you are purchasing a bow tie, be sure to note if it comes pre-tied or not, and whether it can be self-tied. Most grooms will prefer one style or the other.

For weddings, especially if there are a lot of groomsmen wearing matching bow ties, it is often recommended by wedding photographers to wear pre-tied bow ties for the photo shoot so that all the ties are a uniform size and shape in the wedding photos. So, some grooms may want one of each.

Map Bow Tie

This handcrafted bow tie is made using premium Japanese cotton with a world map design. It is adjustable and will fit a neck size up to 21″. Customs styles, fabrics, and sizes are possible. Most styles are listed as self tie but can also be customized to be pre-tied as well.

A matching pocket square in the same map fabric can also be found here . See more in Julia’s Canada-based store VIVID Clothing Toronto

Airplane bow tie

It’s all about the little details! This fun handmade blue airplane bow tie comes pre-tied and adjustable for your big day. It also comes in a variety of sizes to ensure that your entire wedding party can be matching as they stand at the end of the aisle.

Matching pocket squares are also offered. See more designs and wedding accessories from NewWay Creation Design here .

Anchor Nautical Bow Tie

This cute anchor bow tie is a great pick for anyone getting married by the sea or on a cruise ship! The handmade tie is made from 100% microfiber and is a self tie design.

These ties are designed and handmade in Australia. Take a look at some of their other tie designs and pocket squares here . You’re sure to find something to fit your wedding theme.

Travel Themed Guestbooks & Guestbook Alternatives

A guestbook is often one of the most treasured wedding keepsakes for a wedding couple as it contains the personal well wishes from all the wedding guests. A guestbook is often one of the first things that wedding guests see at your wedding, so it can be a good way to introduce the travel theme of the wedding.

Often the wedding couple has a guest book available to sign for people entering or exiting the wedding ceremony and then move it later to the reception so anyone who didn’t get a chance to sign at the ceremony can do it then.

If your guestbook is a bit unique, you may want to make sure you nominate a friend or family member to be in charge of letting guests know about your guest book. They can also show them how to use it if it requires any explanation.

When choosing a guestbook option, don’t forget to consider how many people are on your wedding guest list, to ensure that all guests have enough space to sign it. Many of the options below have different sizes available, while others come with the option to add extra pages for larger wedding parties.

Also note that most of our recommended guest books can also be used as a photo album if you prefer to use it to display photos of you and your partner, or if you wish for guests to take photos at the reception with an instant camera and add them to the book. Just be sure to check with the seller before purchasing if it is not clear.

Travel Themed Table Numbers & Place Card Holders

It is easy to add a travel themed touch to your table numbers and place card holders. For instance, instead of using traditional table numbers, you can designate tables using city names, country names, or photos of your favorite attractions.

Travel Themed Wedding Candles

Wedding candles are a way of symbolizing the uniting of two families. Often the bride and groom will light separate candles with their families, and bring them together to light a new candle as they start their next big adventure together. They are also often used to light churches and reception halls and as table centerpieces and decorations.

It is easy to add a sense of wanderlust to your candle choices, whether it is through the way the candle looks, its holder, or its scent. For scented candles, you may want to choose a specific scent for candles on the tables that fits a specific destination for a themed wedding.

If planning to burn them, look for non-toxic natural wax (paraffin free) candles. Just note that not all guests love scented candles as some people are very sensitive or allergic to them. So if you have them at the guest tables, you may want to have someone ask guests at each table before lighting and have some LED backups.

Choose Your Own Wanderlust Scent

Why not choose a specific scent for your special day? Then all of your wedding memories will come flooding back to you every time you light the candle. These wanderlust inspired candles are made with U.S farm-grown soy, phthalate-free fragrance blend, and natural wood wicks. 

There are 18 different complex scents to choose from including ones inspired by Havana Cuba, Waimea Falls, Brooklyn, San Gimignano, Japan, São Paulo, and the Rocky Mountains. The 4.5oz Woodwick Candles are hand-poured into recycled glass jars and burn for up to 40 hours.

You can choose one scent or choose several to complement different table themes. Check out Drew’s full store of unisex candles and scents here .

Antique Map Pillar Candle

How sweet are these wonderfully unique travel themed antique map wedding candles ! They are high-quality wax vanilla scented ivory pillar candles with an antique map image.

The image is transferred onto the candle via a unique heat transfer technique which results in the image becoming fused to the candle under a layer of wax. The candle can be burned and the image will last as long as the candle does. They are available in your choice of 3 inches x 4 inches or 3 inches x 6 inches.

This specific piece features an image of an antique map of the city of London, but you can also select other designs including maps of other cities such as Paris, Berlin, Rome, New York City, Chicago and more. Custom maps are also possible for other locations, just contact the seller.

You can see a lot more personalized bag options in Coleen’s store Heritage Wedding .

Action Camera

My dream is to have a ceremony on the beach at sunset. Is this a good idea? It’s important to give myself a few days to relax prior to the wedding.

October 3, 2017 at 2:03 pm

Hi Stacey, I think that it is your dream, then you should do it as long as your spouse-to-be is also on board with the idea. It can be tricky to have an outdoor wedding but I would just have it somewhere where the weather is normally warm and predictable and have a plan if the weather is less than ideal (an alternative indoor venue). If you are working with a wedding planner, they should be able to help get everything worked out for you. Giving yourself a few days to relax in advance sounds like a great plan! Wishing you a wonderful beach wedding, Jessica

October 11, 2017 at 3:36 am

@Jessica thanks for your attention. The beach wedding idea sounds very exciting.

Hi Lissa, Yes, when we got married on the Queen Mary 2 ( https://independenttravelcats.com/2015/12/22/wedding-at-sea-married-cunard-queen-mary-2-wedding/ ), we did very little planning as your options are obviously more limited and you have a wedding coordinator who helps you out and does the work of setting things up. We just had to come up with readings and music and make some selections regarding vows, flowers, food, etc. Very easy which was perfect for us! ~ Jesica

Lots of nice products (and lots of research to put it all together!). I myself organized a travel themed barmitzva for my son a couple of years ago – lots of work went into travel video making (about all countries he visited) and decorations (every table was themed with a different country) but it was a lot of fun and quite unusual for a barmitsva! Needless to say- our wedding happened while travelling too (in Eastern Europe some 20+yrs ago).. while not too many people got to witness it, I would not do it any other way. It makes the day so special!

May 29, 2016 at 8:00 am

Hi Victoria, Haha, yes, it was a lot of research but so fun to find out about so many interesting products and such talented independent artists and small businesses! Sounds like a very special barmitzva for your son! My friend did something similar with her wedding although it was more wildlife themed (her and her husband worked at a nature preserve) and each table represented animals from different parts of the world. A fun way to decorate and make each table unique. Best, Jessica

This post is so full of inspiration for wanderlust-full celebrations. I love the passport and boarding pass save-the-dates and invitations.

May 22, 2016 at 10:57 am

Hi Erin, Yes, I think since most people now send Save the Dates as well as invites, it is nice to establish a theme if one is going to have one before the actual wedding day. But I think these invites are great even alone without having a travel themed wedding or destination wedding. The passports can provide a lot more information than a normal paper invite, including all the travel, pre-ceremony, venue, ceremony, and registry details as you can add as many pages as you need. ~ Jessica

May 21, 2016 at 10:48 am

Thanks so much for pinning Corinne! I love those cake toppers too 🙂

Some pretty cool ideas! We didn’t really do theme weddings in Croatia – mine was simple and traditional:) I spent more time on planning our honeymoon:)

May 21, 2016 at 10:47 am

Hi Tanja, yes, the honeymoon is important to spend time on planning as well! Since we were nomadic and traveling at the time, Laurence tells me we had a 6 month honeymoon, haha. ~ Jessica

This is a super timely article as I’m actually getting married next year! I love the map flowers bouquet idea because I’m not really fond of fresh cut flowers (found a bug in a bouquet once, ugh) and I think it’s a bit of a waste when they die so quickly after. Thanks for the inspiration!

May 21, 2016 at 5:19 am

Congrats on your upcoming wedding. Yes that map flowers bouquet is a great idea and I think paper flowers are becoming more popular for the reasons you are said, cleaner and can keep forever, but also because one can buy them ahead, travel with them, and store them just about anywhere. I also love the fact that you can customize these so much. Glad you found this post inspirational for your wedding! ~ Jessica

Your post made me so jealous! I got married almost 4o years ago, when there was no such thing as a ‘themed wedding.” In my country of origin people were married in a very traditional way, so this is how I got married to, but I would have loved to have a wedding like yours. Recently I attended a themed wedding for my niece though, in Florence. It was very beautiful, but nothing like yours. You’ve exceeded everything I’ve ever seen or heard so far. Wow!

May 21, 2016 at 4:48 am

Hi Anda, Yes, I think weddings, particularly for Americans, have become much more for the couple and what they would like to do and less about the family. I think it has to do partly with the fact that wedding couples are much more likely to pay for at least part, if not all, of their own wedding rather than the bride’s parents paying for most of it (many can’t afford to do this). Our wedding on the boat was private and fairly simple, and our wedding in Venice looks fabulous in photos, which it was of course, but it was also very small and informal. It was great for us as it was pretty stress-free! ~ Jessica

Jessica, we got our travel inspiration from our honeymoon, but if I could turn back time and have a travel inspired wedding I would chose some of these items. I love the bow tie, cufflinks, bouquet, cake topper and invitations, but adored your luggage. I first noticed your luggage in your wonderful Orient Express post. The rings are also a great idea for replacing expensive, sentimental rings when travelling which is something that is a need for many., but something I have never thought of doing. Finally I love that final photo of your dress and luggage on the bed in your beautiful Venetian hotel. Great post and thank you for linking up with #TheWeeklyPostcard

May 20, 2016 at 5:49 pm

Hi Lyn, Yes, I know, these make me want to get married again and I just got married! You have a good eye, yes, this is the same luggage we took on both the Queen Mary 2 and Orient Express. After the wedding the cosmetic case (because our wedding party didn’t have room to take it back) ended up traveling with us through Italy, Morocco, and Egypt…probably not the best choice of luggage for desert travel but it survived. Laurence is thinking about wearing his map bow tie and cufflinks when he gives a speech at an upcoming travel conference which I think will be perfect:) We love our rings, and if you are looking for unique travel rings, I can highly recommend Bruce. We got fabulous service, communication, and products from him! He has some amazing ready-to-buy designs and I love you can also customize. ~ Jessica

May 20, 2016 at 5:44 pm

I know, I love those cake toppers too! I can’t believe how detailed they are and it is no surprise Cecilia is in great demand for these. Each one is very unique and I love looking at all her examples in her Etsy store. ~ Jessica

May 20, 2016 at 5:41 pm

Hi Lindsay, a destination wedding can be a lot of fun! But even if you decide not to do a destination wedding, there are still a lot of great ways to incorporate travel. Best of luck with your upcoming wedding and in the giveaway! Jessica

May 20, 2016 at 5:39 pm

Yes, if you son (and his bride-to-be) loves to travel, it can be a great theme. But even if not a theme per se, it can be great to include some travel elements:) ~ Jessica

What a beautiful and unique theme! Everything from the rings to the paper bouquet are marvelous! The travel theme leaves so much room for creativity and gives everyone an opportunity to make it their own! This is absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing!

May 19, 2016 at 11:22 am

Hi Morgan, Thanks for commenting! Yes, we love this theme and were surprised how many ways you can find handmade items to fit it. We are so in love with our map rings and also are excited to give this beautiful map bridal bouquet to someone special for an upcoming wedding! ~ Jessica

So many great ideas here, Jessica! I am getting closer to this stage with my daughters (not quite yet!), but I know one of them has talked about a destination wedding. I actually bought the cuff links for my husband with our hometown on them, just for fun. The cake toppers are really cute – that would be so special. There are so many creative alternatives to the “standard issue” things I did back in the day. Helps you get excited for something very special:)

May 17, 2016 at 6:43 am

Hi Seana, That is very cool about the cufflinks. Yes, it is amazing how much customization is available to wedding couples these days and it doesn’t have to be super expensive! Sounds like you may be busy with wedding planning in the near future:) Best, Jessica

Wow, such a fantastic post! I am already long married but I love so many of the travel themed wedding ideas, especially the map bow ties, the passport invites, that beautiful orange luggage set, and the globe with the pearls. Also I had never thought of paper flowers, great idea to have after the wedding as a beautiful keepsake of the Big Day! I also love the map pin board and I am contemplating getting one for my niece and nephew. Saving this post for when I have relatives get married!

May 15, 2016 at 6:01 pm

Thanks Diane for taking the time to leave a comment! Yes, so many wonderful travel themed wedding items and it is amazing how many great and unique products and talented artists there are on Etsy. Yes, and as you noted many of these items like the luggage and map pin board are not wedding specificmand make great gifts for anyone who loves travel. Thanks for bookmarking our post! Best, Jessica

Hands up if you’re ready to be dazzled! From a ceremony structure designed to float on water to a jaw-dropping reception room with flowers blooming from every service, we’re swooning over every bit of this wedding. If you can believe it, that’s just the beginning. Julia Kaptelova artfully shot every detail, like the ballet performance guests were treated to and snow falling from the ceiling for the first dance! Prepare to be amazed and take a visit to the full gallery .

From About You Decor … Our design is a symbol of dawn and a distant endless horizon. Ahead is a long, happy life without any borders. An international couple, Pavel and Cherry, met in London and have been walking together for many years.

From the Bride, Cherry… My husband and I we decided to have our summer wedding in Moscow because the city is where his roots are. As we knew we were going to have the other wedding ceremony in China, we wanted our Moscow one to be very personal and intimate. We’ve known each other since we were fourteen, together with many of our friends whom we’ve also known for a decade.

I didn’t want to walk down the aisle twice so the plausibility of my request quickly came into discussion. The open pontoon stage was constructed in order to facilitate the bridal entrance on water, although there were concerns about safety as the last thing we wanted was probably a drowned bride before she could get on stage, picture that! I have to say on that day it wasn’t easy to get on the pontoon stage from the boat, in my long gown and high heels. Luckily my bridesmaids still noticed even though they stood the furthest from me on the stage, and helped me out without prior rehearsal. My girls could just tell whenever I needed a hand or maybe they were just so used to my clumsiness. Who knows 😂

We all love our photographer Julia! She’s so talented and her style is so unique. Our beloved host Alex is exceptional who made everyone laugh and cry. It was truly a blessing to have so many kind and beautiful souls on our big day. Thank you all!

More Princess-Worthy Ballgowns

I’m still not convinced this Moscow wedding, captured to perfection by  Sonya Khegay , isn’t actually an inspiration session—it’s just  that breathtaking. From the beautiful Bride’s gorgeous lace wedding dress and flawless hair and makeup to the pretty pastel color palette and stunning ceremony and reception spaces, this wedding is almost too good to be true. Do yourself a favor and see it all in The Vault now!

From Sonya Khegay … It was the last day of April and still very cold in the morning. The weather forecast wasn’t pleasing and no one expected that the sun would come out, but miracles happen and light rain gave way to the warm rays.

I love how all the details went together, you could feel the harmony in everything throughout the entire wedding day from the morning until the fireworks.

A gentle look of the bride, elegant but so airy and unique decor, the fresh and light atmosphere of early spring and, of course, true happiness in the eyes. My heart becomes so warm from these memories, it is always a pleasure to see the birth of a new family of two loving hearts.

You really can’t go wrong with simple: a beautiful Bride , perfectly pretty petals , loved ones all around. But add in an amazing firework show  to cap off the night and simple just became downright extraordinary. Captured by Lena Elisseva , with assistance by  Katya Butenko , this rustic Russian celebration is simply fantastic. See it all in the Vault right here !

From Lena Eliseeva Photo …  This cozy and warm summer wedding of gorgeous Natalia and Anton was in the middle of June. The young couple decided to organize their wedding themselves, and the day was very personal and touching. I am absolutely in love with rustic outdoor weddings, and this one is my favourite because of the free and easy atmosphere.

All the decor excluding the bride’s bouquet was made by a team of ten friends of the bride and groom. And it was charming – a light and beautiful arch, eco-style polygraphy and succulents, candy-bar with caramel apples and berries – sweet joys of summer.

At the end of ceremony the guests tossed up white handkerchiefs embroidered by Natalia’s own hands.

The most touching moment was the happy eyes of the groom’s grandmother, the most estimable person on the wedding. And the fireworks were a bright end to that beautiful day.

These photos from Lena Kozhina are so stunningly beautiful – as in you can’t help but stop and stare – it’s hard to believe it’s real life. But these pics are proof of this gorgeous Bride and her handsome Groom’s celebration at Moscow’s Fox Lodge , surrounded by vibrant colors and breathtaking blooms . Oh, and the idea of prepping for your Big Day outside in the sun ? Brilliant. See more bright ideas right here !

From Lena Kozhina … When we met with the couple for the first time, we immediately paid attention to Dima’s behavior towards Julia. There was a feeling of tenderness and awe, and we immediately wanted to recreate this atmosphere of love, care and warmth on their Big Day.

Later, when we had chosen a green meadow and an uncovered pavilion overlooking a lake as the project site, it only highlighted a light summer mood with colorful florals and a great number of natural woods. The name of the site is Fox Lodge and peach-orange color, as one of the Bride’s favorites, set the tone for the whole design – from the invitations, in which we used images of fox cubs to elements of serving guest tables and other decorative elements with the corresponding bright accents.

Inside Qatar Airways’ New Business Class Qsuite

Ever since Qatar Airways revolutionized business class travel in 2017 with the introduction of the Qsuite, premium seating with a door is now the gold standard for long-haul travel. Last month, in an effort to compete with other carriers, Qatar Airways revealed major upgrades to its Qsuite service . In addition to longer and wider seats—which can be configured into a double bed—the new Qsuite also features 22” 4K OLED screens and Starlink WiFi. But the biggest change is that two window seats can now be combined to face one another to form a “Companion Suite.” But behave yourself—the walls to the cabin aren’t a mile high.
