What to Expect on Celebrity

  • Smart Casual is the standard evening style for main dining, specialty dining, and the theater.
  • Evening Chic is Celebrity's dressier evening concept. Think polished and photo-ready rather than a required tuxedo-and-gown formal night.
  • Resort wear works well during the day, with swimwear and cover-ups for pool time.
  • Specialty dining is a good reason to pack one or two versatile elevated outfits.

Evening schedules and attire guidance can vary by itinerary and sailing length. Check Celebrity's daily program for your exact cruise.

Celebrity Packing Tips

  • Bring at least one elevated outfit for Evening Chic.
  • Choose mix-and-match Smart Casual pieces so dinner outfits can do double duty.
  • Pack comfortable walking shoes for ports and exploring the ship.
  • Add swimwear, a cover-up, sunglasses, and a sun hat for sea days.
  • Use packing cubes and cabin organizers to keep your stateroom tidy.

Don't Forget the Cruise Essentials

Packing cubes, cabin hooks, luggage accessories, organizers, and travel helpers can make embarkation day and cabin life much easier.
