I’m writing on behalf of a group of friends – we are in our 50s and we love to cruise every year. We’re all sad that formal nights seem to be disappearing though, as we miss the sense of occasion! Are there any cruise lines that still uphold black-tie? Julie Peasgood, TV presenter and Cruise International contributor There have been changes in dress codes in recent years, with many passengers welcoming a relaxing of the rules, but you’ll be pleased to hear there are a significant number of cruise lines that continue to honour this cruising tradition. Match the elegance of your ship on board Cunard, which operates one of the strictest dress codes at sea with its black-tie Gala Nights. Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, P&O Cruises, Saga and Royal Caribbean International all offer opportunities to don your ball gowns or cocktail dresses, and you can also pack your finery for Princess, Seabourn, Carnival, Silversea and Hebridean Island Cruises. So you can still dress to the nines at sea! 96
