What To Pack?

Packing your bag is the last thing to do before your adventure. Make sure you’ve got everything you need for the best holiday ever! Whether you need help deciding which shoes to pack or what size of suitcase to bring, we can help you out with a few handy tips!

• Each bag can be no bigger than 140cm x 60cm x 40cm and weigh no more than 32kg.
• If you’re flying to the port, it’s important to note that airlines may have different luggage restrictions. 
• All luggage, hand and check-in, will be screened at embarkation and disembarkation.

Hand Luggage - There are a few things that are best kept close at hand, in your hand luggage.

• Duty and tax-free purchases, including alcohol and tobacco. These purchases will be collected upon embarkation and stored during your cruise.
• GST tax invoice for the Tourist Refund Scheme
• Your Passport or Government Issued Photo ID for domestic cruises
• Any medications, prescriptions, medical devices, and your travel insurance policy
• Guests must declare to Customs all amounts of alcohol in excess of the local Customs limits.

Keep it casual

When the sun’s out, you can keep it casual. After 5.30 pm, smart casual clothing is required in the public lounges and restaurants, or as published in the ship’s newsletter, Good Times. Decks can be slippery, so low-heeled, rubber-soled shoes are recommended along with comfortable walking shoes for going ashore. Shoes must be worn at all times in restaurants. Swimwear is only permitted around the pool and open deck areas. There are two dress codes for the restaurants: smart casual and cocktail.

Dress for dinner

Dress up and have fun! Every evening onboard should be a special occasion, whether you’re grabbing a quick drink or having a leisurely dinner. If it’s after 5:30 pm, smart casual clothing is required in the public lounges and restaurants. That means skirts, dresses, pants, and blouses for women. For men, it’s long trousers and a polo or collared shirt.

The drinks are delicious, and the vibe is fancy, so you'd better frock up for the cocktail evenings! Women are required to wear an evening or cocktail dress. Men are required to suit up or wear similar, and ties are optional. These evenings will be announced in the ship's newsletter, the Good Times. So you have an idea of how many fabulous outfits to pack, we’ve provided a rough guide. For cruises between 3-7 nights, there will be 1-2 cocktail evenings. For cruises between 7-13 nights, there will be 2 cocktail evenings, and for cruises 14 days or more, there will be a minimum of 3 cocktail evenings. Please note that if the cruise is less than 2 night,s there will not be any cocktail nights.
