  • Ocean Discovery Yachts: daytime clothing is casual and comfortable; dinner is smart casual, such as open-neck shirts and trousers or dresses. A jacket, blazer or tie is optional.

Packing suggestions are Deluxe Cruises editorial guidance; the cruise line's final documents and the weather forecast control the last check.

Important: access varies by accommodation, gangway, pier, tender, shore transport, and operating conditions. Document needs when requesting the booking and reconfirm them before travel.
