company, Olivia, is offering couples the chance to celebrate California’s recent same-sex marriage ruling
at sea. Olivia will host a special wedding ceremony and reception for couples before setting sail on
Olivia’s Women in Music and Sports Mexican Riviera Cruise, Oct 4-11.

customers and couples should richly celebrate,” said Olivia General Manager Lisa Henderson.
Olivia will host a special wedding ceremony at the Hard Rock San Diego, the night before they sail off on
the Women in Music and Sports Mexican Riviera Cruise. Once on board, everyone will join in a
Champagne Celebration toasting the happy couples in legally wedded bliss. Couples who take advantage
of the special Honeymoon Suite and Celebration Package will be pampered in Olivia's Honeymoon Suite
