What to Wear on a Cruise

What Women Need From Cruise Outfits

Works on deck and at dinner — one piece from morning to evening without changing.
Photographs beautifully — bold prints against blue ocean and afternoon light.
Comfortable all day — georgette breathes in tropical heat, moves freely.
Packs flat — folds to a quarter of its size, carry-on friendly.
Gets compliments — the piece every woman on the ship asks about.

Formal Night

Every cruise has the evening the whole ship dresses up, and it is the night you want to be remembered. A floor-length print or a bold goddess kaftan with a heel, one strong earring, and a small clutch does it without a garment bag full of options. Because the print does the work, you look like you planned for weeks while packing almost nothing.

Shore Excursions and Pool Decks

For days off the ship, a shirt dress worn open over swim covers the walk from the tender to lunch, then belts into an outfit for exploring. On the pool deck, a relaxed kaftan over your swimsuit is the whole look. One or two pieces cover the entire day, and they fold flat for the next port.

"I wore the set on a cruise to Catalina and Ensenada and received compliments from several people. I was comfortable the whole time. Plus, who doesn't love being able to eat whatever you want on a cruise and not have to worry whether your outfit will still look fabulous?" — Princess M., Verified Customer, Eloise Silk Goddess Kaftan

Frequently Asked

What should I wear on a cruise formal night?

A floor-length print or a bold goddess kaftan with a heel and simple gold jewelry. It reads dressed-up without overpacking.

Can one piece really cover deck to dinner?

Yes. A goddess kaftan photographs beautifully on deck and transitions to dinner with only a change of shoe, which is exactly why it is the cruise piece.

Will it pack without wrinkling?

The georgette and silk fold flat into a carry-on and drape back out ready, with a quick steam if needed.
