Home/FAQ/ Im Thinking About Booking A Mini Cruise Will There Be A Formal Night
I'm thinking about booking a mini cruise. Will there be a formal night?
The individual cruise line and the itinerary will determine whether there will be a formal night on board a mini cruise.
Some itineraries will have a formal night on a mini cruise and others will not.
Everything depends on the length of the cruise, where it is travelling to but mostly this would be determined by the individual cruise line.
Mini cruises can be anything between 2 and 5 nights, so it would be safe to assume that the shorter durations are less likely to have a formal night than that of perhaps a 5 night cruise. Our Cruise Experts can advise you on all of these aspects at the point of your enquiry.
Onboard schedules can also be subject to change at the last minute so it is best to double check with the cruise line you are travelling with.
We would also advise you to check the style of dress on board your chosen cruise as each cruise line has different expectations, some may be resort casual, some smart casual and also some are formal every evening.

Top Cruise Travel Agency, especially Elise
We’ve used a few cruise travel agents over the years & have never had such great & attentive service that Cruisekings provide. We deal with Elise Jones, or should I say Elise looks after us so well. Her attention to detail is great & she’s so fast to respond. We thoroughly recommend Elise & Cruisekings, their customer service is also excellent.
