Find Your Perfect Cruise

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.

Excellent Customer Service from beginning to End!

Excellent service from Jordan Fee at the Irvine branch. We were back and forward with many changes. Jordan gave us a range of options and also followed up with courtesy emails which were going on a few months. We changed course completely and Jordan still continued to offer excellent advice with a variety of airports, we have now booked our first ever cruise as a family with Jordan. Fantastic customer service from Jordan through the whole experience!
