What to Pack: Explora Journeys dress code

When planning a luxury voyage with Explora Journeys, understanding the onboard dress code is essential to ensure a comfortable and stylish experience. With a focus on wellness-inspired holidays rather than stuffy, upmarket cruising, the dress code on Explora Journeys is designed to balance elegance with relaxation. There’s a sophisticated yet unpretentious atmosphere on the cruise.


Explora Journeys daytime dress code

During the day, guests are encouraged to dress casually and comfortably. The daytime dress code is relaxed, allowing for easy transitions between activities whether you’re chilling on one of the 64 private cabanas on deck or hopping ashore to explore MSC’s private island, Ocean Cay. Light and breathable clothing, such as shorts, sundresses and casual shirts, are ideal in the day. Swimwear is perfectly acceptable by the pool and in the spa, but guests are asked to cover up when moving around other areas of the ship—especially while dining in the restaurants.

  • Do pack light and airy clothes for the relaxed beach club vibes
  • Don’t wear your Speedo or bathing gown to breakfast or lunch

Explora Journeys evening dress code

As the day transitions into evening, the dress code becomes a little more refined. The cruise line encourages guests to embrace a sense of elegance for dinner and evening events. While the atmosphere remains relaxed, guests typically opt for smart-casual attire. For men, this might include smart shirts, slacks and loafers, while women often choose cocktail dresses, skirts or elegant trousers paired with blouses. While jackets and ties are not mandatory, many guests enjoy dressing up to enhance the sophisticated ambiance of the evening wherever they are dining. 

  • Do dress to impress but don’t go overboard
  • Don’t bring your tuxedo

Explora Journeys formal evenings

There are no themed or formal evenings on Explora Journeys Cruises. 

One situation where you might want to dress a little smarter is when you’re dining in Anthology, the brand’s chef’s table experience. Available for a surcharge, you’ll dine with other guests in an exclusive setting and some of the very finest dining at sea. Gentlemen guests aren’t expected to wear ties or jackets to this culinary experience, but many do.


Conclusion

Explora Journeys’ dress code is designed to be flexible, allowing guests to feel both comfortable and chic throughout their voyage. By understanding the guidelines and planning accordingly, guests can fully enjoy the luxurious and relaxed atmosphere of their journey. Whether lounging by the pool, dining in style, or participating in a themed event, dressing appropriately enhances the overall experience on board Explora Journeys.
