What to Wear on a Celebrity Cruise

By Michelle Marks - Dragon Wolf Travel

A relaxed and refined guide from Dragon Wolf Travel

Packing for a cruise doesn’t have to be overwhelming—or over the top. Celebrity Cruises keeps things chic and comfortable, so you can focus on enjoying your voyage (not stressing over what’s in your suitcase). Here's a simple guide to help you pack with confidence—from daytime looks to dinner attire.

👒 By Day: Think Resort-Casual

During the day, you’ll want comfy clothes for sightseeing, pool time, and onboard fun. Celebrity’s vibe is relaxed and refined—so there’s no pressure, but you may still want to look polished enough to head to lunch or step off the ship for a port adventure.

Some go-to options might include:

• Swimsuits and coverups

• Sundresses and shorts

• T-shirts, polos, and tanks

• Sandals, sneakers, or loafers

Every guest has their own style—some keep it laid-back, others lean chic. Either way, comfort and confidence are always in fashion on board.

👗 Evenings: Smart Casual or Evening Chic

Celebrity has two dress codes in the evening, and both are about feeling good in what you wear.

1. Smart Casual (most nights)

Dinner-ready without being fussy.
Some options include:

• Dress pants or dark jeans

• Blouses, dressy tops, or collared shirts

• Casual dresses or jumpsuits

• Closed-toe shoes or nice sandals

🛑 A quick note: flip-flops, cutoffs, tank tops (for men), and baseball caps aren’t allowed in the main dining rooms or specialty restaurants.

2. Evening Chic (1–2 nights per cruise)

This is your night to elevate your look—but tuxedos and floor-length gowns are totally optional.

For Women:

• Cocktail dresses or elegant separates

• Statement jewelry or stylish jumpsuits

For Men:

• Sport coats, blazers, or polished button-downs

• Stylish pants or dress jeans (ties are optional)

You can dress up as much—or as little—as you like, as long as it aligns with the venue’s expectations.

🎯 What Should I Pack for a 7-Night Cruise?

Think versatile. Pieces you can mix and match. Looks that work for both comfort and confidence.

Here’s a quick starter list:

✔️ 2–3 dinner outfits you can rotate
✔️ 1–2 elevated looks for Evening Chic
✔️ Casual clothes for excursions or sea days
✔️ Swimsuits, coverups, comfy walking shoes, hat
✔️ A light sweater or blazer (indoor venues can be chilly)
✔️ Optional: statement accessories for easy outfit upgrades

Want to keep it really simple? Focus on a few go-to pieces that make you feel good and travel well.

🌅 Embarkation Day Tip

Wear something comfortable—and camera-ready. You might want to grab lunch, take a few photos, or explore the ship before your luggage arrives. A small carry-on with these essentials goes a long way:

• Swimsuit

• Sunglasses

• Sunscreen

• Any must-have meds

🚫 What Not to Pack

This isn’t about fashion rules—it’s just what’s not accepted in certain spaces onboard or might not travel well.

• Pool attire for dinner

• Pajamas at breakfast (yep, it happens)

• Shirts with offensive slogans

• Anything too revealing or culturally insensitive for port visits

🎭 Dress Code by Venue

Most venues onboard are flexible with Smart Casual attire. Specialty restaurants may encourage a bit more polish—especially on Evening Chic nights. Just check the Celebrity app or daily planner for any guidelines if you’re unsure.

💬 Bottom Line: Dress Your Way—With a Dash of Chic

Celebrity wants you to feel confident, comfortable, and like your best self. Whether you're in a breezy maxi dress or a crisp button-down, you’ll fit right in.
