Your probable model will be

public class Customer 
{
    [Key]
    [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    public int CustomerCode { get; set; }
    public virtual Destination destination { get; set; }//relationship with Destination
}
public class Destination 
{

    public virtual Customer customer { get; set; }//relationship with Customer 
    [Key, ForeignKey("User")]
    public int CustomerCode { get; set; }
}

You need to use the fluent API and add following code in DBContext

protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{   
    modelBuilder.Entity<Customer>()
        .HasOptional(d => d.Destination)
        .WithOptionalDependent()
        .WillCascadeOnDelete(true);
}
