What to pack
Sea days with Cunard are yours to enjoy. Swim, unwind with a book, join activities like fitness classes or wine tastings, and savour Afternoon Tea.
Sea days
Use this page to outline what guests might like to bring for evenings, sea days, and time ashore. You can edit or expand these sections to suit your advice.
As this time is leisurely, it’s important to wear clothes that you feel comfortable in:
Shorts
Long trousers
T-shirts
Cardigan, Blazer, Sweatshirt
Swimwear
Work-out clothes, trainers
Tip: Swimwear isn’t permitted in indoor dining areas, so if you are planning to visit your stateroom’s main restaurant for breakfast or lunch, be sure to factor in time for a quick change in your stateroom.
Evenings on board
As the sun sets, the style shifts. Most evenings call for smart attire. Think cocktail dresses, jackets, or elegant separates. On Gala Evenings, we invite you to embrace your most glamorous side, with tuxedos, evening gowns, or whatever makes you feel your best.
Evenings on board are a wonderful opportunity to embrace a touch of elegance. Many guests enjoy dressing in smart attire, adding to the sense of occasion. While formalwear isn’t required every night, we recommend dressing as you might for a fine restaurant or the theatre, such as a cocktail dress, a dress shirt with trousers, or a stylish skirt and top.
Gala Evenings
On voyages of three nights or more, at least one Gala Evening invites you to embrace the grandeur of ocean travel. These special nights feature an elevated dress code and are entirely optional, though many guests sail with us precisely because they look forward to the elegance and tradition these evenings bring.
