What to wear on board
There is no strict dress code on our cruises, so you can keep it relaxed. The one rule worth remembering is to dress for the water, because it is cooler and breezier out on the strait than in the city. Here is what to wear by season and by cruise, plus a note on footwear.
The golden rule: dress for the water
It is usually 5 to 7 degrees cooler on the water than in the city centre, and the wind adds to the chill, especially in the evening. Whatever the season, bring one layer more than you think you need. A light jacket or wrap is the single most useful thing to pack, even in summer.
What to wear by season
| Season | On the water | What to wear |
|---|---|---|
| Spring (April to May) | Mild days, cool evenings | Smart-casual, plus a proper jacket for the sunset |
| Summer (June to August) | Warm, breezy evenings | Light cotton or linen, a hat and sunglasses, plus a light layer for later |
| Autumn (September to October) | Warm days, cooler evenings | A jacket or pullover, and a scarf later in the season |
| Winter (November to March) | Cold and windy | A warm coat, scarf, and hat; layers you can remove in the heated indoor area |
What to wear by cruise
- Day and sightseeing cruise: casual and comfortable, with sun protection in the warmer months
- Sunset cruise: smart-casual, with a layer ready for when the sun drops and it cools quickly
- Dinner cruise: smart-casual works well, and you can dress up for the evening, but there is no strict code
- Private yacht: wear whatever you like, since the boat is yours
Footwear
Choose flat or low, comfortable shoes for the pier and the deck. Avoid high heels, as decks can be uneven or a little wet, and closed-toe shoes are more comfortable once the temperature drops in the evening or in winter.
