ATTIRE ASHORE
Packing clothing that can be layered is the best way to plan for cruising in virtually any climate.
For tropical cruises, bring light, loose-fitting garments that can be paired with a lightweight jacket or sweater.
For cooler climates, pack extra layers of warmer garments such as a light top coat and some sweaters.
When dressing to go ashore, it is helpful to be aware of the customs of the countries you are visiting. In some ports men and women should not wear shorts. Many cultures prefer that women wear dresses or skirts when visiting shrines, churches, mosques and temples.
Some of our more adventurous destinations like Alaska and Antarctica voyages have additional special packing requirements.
Please Note: Firearms, explosives, fireworks, other weapons and knives or sharp blades over 2.5 inches long and illegal drugs of any kind are prohibited without exception. Due to safety and onboard security reasons personal Satellite dish/receivers, routers and other internet related equipment are not allowed onboard.
For safety reasons drones and any other remote controlled aerial devices/toys, as well as hoverboards or similar devices are not allowed on board our ships.
