WHAT TO WEAR ON A CRUISE<\/h1><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>\n

We want to make sure you are always prepared when cruising with MSC. Below are some suggestions to make sure you pack appropriate clothing for the various activities you will undertake during your cruise.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Daytime Attire<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Casual wear is recommended for daytime attire. Shorts and T-shirts are permitted.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Evening Wear<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

A more polished look is recommended for evening wear when dining in the Main Dining Rooms and Speciality Restaurants and while enjoying the entertainment in the theatre, bars, and lounges. Collared shirts, tailored trousers or shorts, skirts, and dresses are suggested. Layers and a light jacket or sweater are suggested for cooler nights and in the ship\u2019s air-conditioned public areas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Gala Night<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

On Gala Night, dress to impress! Whether that means a tuxedo, suit and tie, evening gown or cocktail dress, or perhaps it\u2019s your very best jeans and polo shirt, your attire should fit your own level of elegance. The only thing required is your smile.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Theme parties<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

We organise various daytime and evening Theme Parties on board. You may wish to bring bright fun clothes for the Sunshine Party and something white for the White Party.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Dress Restrictions<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Specific restrictions may be enforced by onboard staff members including restaurant hostesses and management. At no point is swimwear allowed in any formal dining venue for any meal, including breakfast and lunch. Shorts, flip-flops, and tank tops are not allowed for Evening Wear or Gala Night in the Main Dining Rooms, Speciality Restaurants, or MSC Yacht Club. T-shirts are not allowed to be worn for Gala Night. Dress code rules that are posted outside the buffet should be followed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Dress Code and Local Customs<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

When going ashore, guests are responsible for ensuring that their attire is respectful of local customs, religious requirements, and legal regulations of the destination. Many ports of call have specific standards of modesty or decorum, particularly when visiting religious sites, government buildings, or rural communities.<\/p>\n

Guests are strictly advised that in certain jurisdictions, the wearing of camouflage patterns or any clothing resembling military\/police uniforms is a criminal offence and may lead to fines, confiscation of the garments, or detention by local authorities for security reasons.<\/p>\n

It is the guest\u2019s sole responsibility to research and comply with the laws of each visited country.<\/p>\n

MSC Cruises shall not be held liable for any legal consequences, fines, or denied entries resulting from inappropriate or prohibited attire.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
