It's a classic, says Earthporm, and there's certainly no shame in going to a popular honeymoon spot like Venice. There are few experiences that can compare with a gondola ride on the Grand Canal. Relax and drink it all in.

10. Quebec City
Winter or summer, Quebec City is arguably Canada's most romantic honeymoon destination. The charms of Old Quebec will lull you into thinking you're in Europe.
Earthporm points out that Quebec is affordable and getting there is pretty cheap, too. If you want to document your trip, you can book tours that come with a professional photographer and have your honeymoon turned into a book.

11. Maldives
The Travel Channel says the Maldives is the most romantic archipelago on earth.
Many of the resorts are designed to give you the utmost privacy. This is the spot if you like to be pampered, but it won't come cheap. Still, you only plan to have one honeymoon, right?

13. Kauai, Hawaii
Another relatively affordable honeymoon destination for Canadians is the Hawaiian island of Kauai. It's the least developed island in the state and if you're searching for a little solitude, you'll find it here.
There are beautiful beaches to relax on and if you need some exercise, hit Kauai's trails for some of the most scenic hiking in the world.

18. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
The best time to visit Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island is in the fall, when the leaves explode with colour. At times you'll feel like you've got the whole island to yourself.
