Formality - Informal

Dress Code

When you are choosing the clothes that will go in your suitcase, simply pack for your cruise as you would for any holiday in a good, but informal hotel.

Onboard the Island Escape you can dress up or go casual as you please, the choice is entirely yours. Jeans and a t-shirt, casual jumper or sundress wouldn’t be out of place onboard, but if you would like to get dressed up for a special night or two, be our guest. The Oasis Restaurant is the perfect venue for that special occasion and you can impress your fellow ‘Islanders’ at our fun and informal deck parties.

You’ll need to bring a warm sweater or jacket for evenings on deck, especially in the spring/autumn months. During the daytime a sarong or oversized t-shirt over your trunks or swimwear would be ideal for coming in off deck. Soft shoes or flip-flops would also be useful as the decks may be slippery!

For your shore experiences you should make sure to pack comfortable shoes for walking, clothes that cover shoulders and knees for tours to places of worship and your favourite hiking, biking or golfing equipment (along with your UK golf club member’s card and/or scuba diving license and medical certificate) if you are planning to join any specialised tours.
