Oceania Cruises Updates Onboard Dress Code — What to Pack for Effortless Sophistication

Packing for your next sailing just got easier. Beginning September 1, 2025, Oceania Cruises is introducing a refreshed dress code that strikes the perfect balance between upscale style and modern comfort. Whether you’re lounging poolside on Nautica or enjoying gourmet cuisine aboard Riviera, here’s what you need to know to look—and feel—your best.

  • Regatta – Sept 5    - Allura – Sept 6

Daytime Style: Breezy & Polished

  • Sundresses, polos, tailored shorts, lightweight slacks
  • Swimwear strictly pool-side—throw on a cover-up when heading to cafés

Evening Style: Refined Yet Relaxed

Ladies: Dresses, jumpsuits, elegant separates, or fashionable jeans with dressy sandals/sneakers
Gentlemen: Collared shirts or knits paired with dressy jeans or trousers; loafers or smart sneakers
Tip: Shorts and T-shirts are welcome after dark only in Terrace Café and Waves Grill.


Quick Reminders to Keep You Ship-Shape

  • Robes & slippers: in-stateroom bliss only
  • Baseball caps: off the menu in fine-dining venues at dinner
  • After 6 pm, leave flip-flops, athletic shoes, and distressed denim behind

Why the change? Oceania wants you to feel stylish yet completely at ease from sunrise espresso to moonlit martinis. Pack smart, cruise smarter, and enjoy the effortless sophistication waiting on board.
