What is the dress code aboard the ship?
Dress is casual and comfortable, both on board and ashore. Because the weather can be unpredictable, it is best to bring layershave a sweater or light jacket for spring and summer, and a heavier jacket for chillier months. Rain can happen at any time, so a collapsible umbrella is a must. You are likely to do a good deal of walking during shore excursions, so you will definitely want sturdy, comfortable walking shoes; but, since our ships are much smaller than ocean cruising vessels, you do not have to worry about too much walking on board. There are no formal nights on board, but there is usually a Captains Welcome Dinner and/or Farewell Dinner; on many itineraries, you will attend a concert, ballet performance or other dressier event. For these evenings, you might like to bring dressy casual wear. A comprehensive list of Packing Tips is available here.
