What do I wear on board during the day?
You’ll need to pack a range of summer or warmer clothes,
depending on your itinerary and the time of year you travel.
On board, during the day, you’ll probably find yourself most
comfortable in casual wear or swimwear. In the ships’ main
restaurants attire for breakfast and lunch is casual wear
(excluding shorts). In Kings Court on Queen Mary 2 and in
the Lido Restaurant on Queen Victoria, casual attire
(including shorts) may be worn.
What about shore attire?
Be comfortable but please remember to respect the cultural
dress norms of your hosts when visiting shrines, temples and
churches. A lightweight raincoat and umbrella never go amiss!
Finally, a pair of comfortable walking shoes (plus a spare pair
of glasses) will always stand you in good stead.
