Day Wear
Dress Code: T-shirts, shorts, linen and sundresses are ideal for warmer days, but don’t forget to pack some layers for cooler days and evenings on deck when the sun goes down. Comfy shoes are perfect for strolling the decks.
It’s fine to go barefoot and wear swimmers by the pool, but please cover up and wear shoes or sandals in the ship’s lounges, indoor bars, restaurants and reception. Swim wear is also not allowed in the Casino.
Evening Wear
Dress Code: Evening Casual - Think relaxed and comfortable, but chic. Show us your style with a colourful dress, tailored trousers, dark denim or your favourite ‘going out’ shirt, paired with smart shoes or sandals. Tonight’s not the night for tracksuits, football shirts or trainers.
Times: Dress code kicks in at 18.00. From this time until the end of the evening, the elevated dress guidelines are enforced in the main dining rooms, specialty restaurants, and most indoor bars and lounges. You do not need to take part in the dress code by eating in Horizon (the buffet restaurant).
