Dress Code

When it comes to onboard attire, Azamara's vibe is all about “resort casual,” perfectly blending comfort and sophistication for a delightful maritime escape.

For those fabulous dining moments in specialty restaurants and the charming Windows Café, we gently remind you to trade in your beachwear like bare feet, tank tops, baseball caps, and distressed jeans for something a little more polished. Think smart cover-ups and footwear that complement your sunny disposition while respecting fellow guests!

Now, if you have a flair for fashion and wish to elevate your evening style, feel free to dress up a notch—formal wear isn’t mandatory, just encouraged! Keep in mind, though—tuxedo rentals aren’t on the menu. So pack your favorite outfits and get ready to sail into a world of elegance and unforgettable experiences. With Cruise Nation, you’re not just cruising; you’re embarking on a magical journey at sea, where every detail counts. Bon voyage!
