Our blog post breaks down each type of outfit you need to bring based on the activities on your cruise. With our help, packing has never been easier!
Daytime Cruise Looks
If you are hopping on and off the ship during the daytime, keep your outfit casual and practical. Something as simple as elasticated waist trousers and a casual top can keep you comfortable throughout the day. If you’re in a hotter climate, we recommend day dresses in loose, floaty fabrics - these can keep you cool as you explore your surroundings. Loose, floaty fabrics are perfect for hot temperatures and comfortable footwear is a must when exploring. We recommend investing in a comfortable pair of shoes - particularly those with lumbar support and cushioned soles so you can walk around all day and return to your cabin with no blisters!
A jackets is also essential ideal as an extra layer in case the weather goes cooler or you need an extra cover-up. Depending on where you are cruising, a simple cardigan can keep you warm and can be folded up to fit a backpack. If you are heading somewhere cooler or with changeable weather, make sure you pack a coat or Pac-a-mac.

A day on the boat
Lots of time on a cruise is spent enjoying the activities the boat has to offer. As these days will make up a significant part of your holiday, it is important that you feel happy and comfortable in what you’re wearing. Some of our comfortable holiday essentials include cropped trousers, shorts and maxi skirts.
A dress is also a necessary part of your cruise ship wardrobe - whether you’re heading out in summer or winter. In summertime, pair your sun dress with some cushion-walk sandals and in the wintertime a pair of ankle boots. The sea breeze is a lot stronger out on the open waters than it is at the shoreline, so if you’re planning to spend a lot of time above deck, it is absolutely essential that you bring a warm jumper or cardigan.
Cruise Leisurewear
Make a splash... Don’t set sail without your swimwear essentials! Whether you enjoy an afternoon swim or prefer to sit poolside with a good book, we recommend our swimwear which comes with in-built tummy control and a flattering fit to help you comfortably relax and soak up the sun. For brunches at the bar or wanders around the deck, a beach coverup is essential for throwing over your swimming costume! Our cotton beach shirts are ideal for throwing on over your swimsuit.
Cruise Eveningwear
Dinner and a dance...
An invite at the captains table calls for a fabulous outfit! As day turns to night, it is your chance to dress up in occasionwear and get your dancing shoes on. Evening dresses are effortless and can be dressed up or down, depending on the cruise line's requirements. Be sure to add a versatile jacket to your suitcase for some star gazing before the evening ends.
Don’t forget to sleep…
In all the excitement, it can be very easy to forget to pack your pjs! Make sure you’ve got a set of cosy pjs and slippers.
Oh and don’t forget your bra and pants!
