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.

Best Cruise Agency to use
Always very helpful no matter what you ask even if it's something silly, always there for you - get the best deals for you. Elise has helped us get some good deals. My husband needs a mobilty scooter when we cruise it's not always easy to get accessible cabin for him but our agent Elise went through the whole year to find us a cabin. Which is greatly appreciated everyone we have spoken to with cruise Kings have been so kind and helpful nothing a problem we shall always book with them.
