The world of cruise ships offers travelers a unique experience where luxury and comfort meet. However, being on board also has its own rules, especially when it comes to dress.
The first thing you need to know is that officially there are 3 main dress codes on board cruise ships – Casual, Smart-Casual and Formal. Easy? You think?
Victoria Residential Ship Dress Code
Daily Clothing
Daily clothing on the Victoria Residential Ship is comfortable and practical, while still being stylish. During the day, sporty and loose clothing is best, as it ensures comfort while moving around on board.
For women, summer dresses, shorts and blouses are ideal, as they are airy and comfortable. A nice summer dress or an elegant tunic can also be a perfect choice. For men, polo shirts and chinos are ideal.
Flip-flops (crocs) or comfortable sandals are ideal for around the pool. Swimsuits and beach towels are also essential as swimsuits must be covered indoors, even when going to the bathroom or your cabin.
Don't forget your sunglasses and hat at home, as both are important for sun protection.
A light sweater or cardigan can also come in handy if there is a breeze in the cooler evening hours. In winter, when colder weather can occur, layering is key.
For women, it is worth choosing thicker, warm clothes, such as knitted sweaters, long-sleeved tops and warm pants. Scarves and gloves are also important when moving around on board. For men, similarly warm clothes, shirts, and sweaters are recommended. In terms of shoes, both sexes should prefer comfortable and closed shoes.
Cruise Smart Casual Dress Code: Style and Comfort on Board.
Dress code plays an important role when traveling on Victoria Residential Ship, especially when you follow the dress code “smart casual”. This style means comfortable and elegant clothing that ideally combines formal and casual wear. Below we will show you how to dress smart casual so that you always appear appropriate and stylish on board.
Smart Casual: the basics of style
Dress code means a balance of elegance and comfort. It is an ideal choice for both women and men when you are at various events or restaurants on Victoria Residential Ship.
For ladies: for smart casual dressing, choose elegant but comfortable clothes. A well-tailored blouse or shirt combined with a skirt or trousers is always a good choice. Light, elegant dresses are also suitable. In terms of shoes, ballerinas, sandals or low heels are ideal, as they are comfortable and stylish.
For gentlemen: shirts and polo shirts are perfect for a smart casual look. Combine them with chios or well-tailored trousers, which you can wear with comfortable and elegant shoes. Moccasins or loafers are particularly well suited to this style.
Smart Casual in Restaurants:
We generally expect our passengers to dress smart casual. For ladies, an elegant dress or blouse with a skirt or trousers, complemented by elegant shoes and jewelry, is an ideal choice. For gentlemen, a well-tailored shirt with elegant trousers and comfortable but elegant shoes is recommended.
Smart Casual for evening events
Ladies can choose an elegant dress or blouse with a skirt/trousers. For gentlemen, a shirt or polo shirt with elegant trousers and comfortable shoes is the best choice
Remember that the essence of smart casual dressing is a balance of elegance and comfort, so it is recommended to avoid overly formal or overly casual outfits.
Formal attire on cruise ships:
Casual attire on cruise ships is usually associated with dinners, evening programs or special events. These occasions provide an opportunity to wear more elegant attire that meets the Victoria Residential Ship dress code.
For ladies, an elegant knee-length or longer cocktail dress is the perfect choice for evening dinners and events. A pair of elegant wide-leg trousers paired with a pretty blouse will give you a modern and sophisticated look. For gentlemen, a well-tailored suit combined with a blazer is one of the best choices for casual wear. You can choose dark colors like black, navy or gray, which are elegant and classic. A white or light-colored shirt, worn with a tie, will perfectly complement the suit or blazer. Leather shoes or elegant loafers are recommended, which are both stylish and comfortable.
On board the Victoria Residential Ship, the dress code changes to suit the occasion, ensuring that you appear stylish for different occasions. Casual, smart casual and formal attire are all appropriate for specific events, contributing to the elegant atmosphere on board.
