Cruise packing list for men
The short answer
A man's cruise list for a week: four or five pairs of shorts or chinos, five or six T-shirts and polos, two pairs of swim trunks, three or four collared shirts and long pants for dinner, a jacket (and tie if you like) for formal night, sandals, walking shoes and one pair of dress shoes.By Kathryn Lyn2 min readReviewed September 2026

Do you need a suit or tuxedo?
Not on most lines. A sport jacket with slacks covers formal night on mainstream ships, and some lines have no formal nights. Check your line in what to wear on a cruise.
