Cunard Cruises is renowned for its formal atmosphere, leading some people to hesitate booking a cruise with them due to the perceived requirement of dressing formally every evening. However, this perception does not align with the reality. While evenings usually call for smart attire, the daytime atmosphere is quite relaxed.
Cunard hosts formal evenings known as Gala nights, but the frequency of these events depends on the duration of the cruise. A typical 7-night cruise will contain 2 Gala nights each with a theme.
TOP TIP: You can login to the 'My Cunard' manage my booking page to view your Gala nights within the 'Itinerary' tab. |
Day time - up to 6pm
During the day time, it's important to wear attire that provides comfort. You can opt for shorts and T-shirts, which are completely acceptable.
Cunard states 'we highly recommend bringing swimwear, allowing you to take full advantage of the ship's pools, spa, and whirlpools. If you desire to use the gym, participate in an exercise class, or jog around the deck, remember to pack a pair of trainers and your usual workout clothes. Please note that swimwear is not permitted in indoor dining areas.
If you plan to have breakfast or lunch at the main restaurant in your stateroom, make sure to allocate time for a quick change. Alternatively, you can enjoy complimentary room service or have a drink delivered to your sun lounger while you relax and pass the time at sea.'
Evening - from 6pm
Gala evening
From 6.00pm, we encourage you to join in the sense of occasion with evening wear of dinner jacket, tuxedo, or dark suit with a regular tie or bow tie, or floor length dress, ball gown, cocktail dress, smart trouser suit, or formal separates.
All Gala evening themes are suggested themes only and you can still dress to the above guidance.
Black and White
For Black and White Gala Evenings, join in the monochrome palette with evening wear in full black or white, or patterns that combine both colours.
Roaring 20's
For Roaring 20s, a simple hint towards the theme is all that's required - a pocket square in an art deco print or a feathered slide in your hair - but if you'd like to bring a flapper dress, or braces and a trilby, you're sure to fit right in.
Red and Gold
Celebrate Cunard's rich heritage and identity with this special theme. From a red bow tie and sparkling gold accents through to red dinner jackets and red or gold gowns, your participation can be as big or as small as you like.
Smart Attire
Smart attire is a dress/collared shirt and trousers, skirt and a top, or a cocktail dress. Cunard suggests 'something along the same vein as you’d wear to a stylish restaurant or the theatre on a special occasion'.
