Here, There &amp; Every-WEAR … What to Wear on an Avalon Cruise?Aboard Avalon Waterways, our job is to make you feel Home “Suite” Home as you wind and bend your way through the world’s most beautiful landscapes. Here, we trade formality for friendly; white gloves for welcomes and suits and gowns for suites and get-up-and-go! Comfort is the only code we go by for cruise attire.With Avalon, your days are filled with exciting excursions and soaking up picture-perfect landscapes, so dress for enjoyment and practicality. Because weather can be unpredictable, layers are always recommended when out and about. Consider packing a small backpack or handbag for jackets and sweaters. And, of course, bring your favorite, most comfortable, walking or athletic shoes to keep your feet happy and your heart pumping.Dinner attire on board is casual with guests typically donning collared shirts and slacks rather than shorts and t-shirts. For our ladies, skirts and dresses are most common. Gentlemen who enjoy feeling sporty in sports coats are welcome to pack them but they are not required. Some guests do prefer to dress up for celebratory evenings onboard including the Captain’s Reception or Farewell Dinner.On our Mekong, Amazon, and Galápagos cruises, we recommend that guests forgo dressier attire completely due to warm, humid climates.In short, wear exactly what suits you – and the discoveries you make onboard and off – best!Additional tips to consider:While Avalon isn’t interested in cramping your style with a dress code, some excursions may require one (no knees or shoulders in some holy places; or no shorts during some evening events in ports-of-call, for instance).And if you fancy a dip in the whirlpool or pool (varies by ship), we ask that bathing suits are worn only on the Sky Deck.If you’re feeling fit for fun, we also want you to know that an Adventure Host will be your guide, at the ready for fitness activities, on all European cruises. Your host will not only lead daily workouts but can also help you pave your own path to wellness with biking, hiking and other, on-your-own adventures. Dress for your own fitness success!
