Cruise Companion
What to Wear
Prepare for a variety of weather conditions, depending on your
travel season. Layering clothing items is smart because it
allows each person to adjust to any temperature, including
artificially maintained temperatures, by removing or adding
items throughout the day.
Comfortable, sporty, smart-casual day wear is appropriate
both onshore and onboard. For warmer temperatures, we
suggest lightweight clothing that can be layered, such as
a mix of sweaters, lightweight knit shirts, everyday khakis,
slacks, skirts/dresses, and walking shorts. Mix-and-match
solid color schemes work best to help keep baggage light.
This program is very different from European river programs;
attire is more casual due to the region’s warmer temperatures.
During the cruise portion of your program, comfortable,
lightweight clothing in lighter colors is strongly recommended.
Shorts, cotton shirts, good walking shoes, and sun hats during
the day are recommended. We discourage sandals and the
like during excursions, because they don’t provide the best
stability when boarding sampans. For evenings, we again
recommend casual and cool attire; however, we kindly request
that guests not wear shorts at dinner, and we require footwear
to be worn at all times in the dining room.
You will engage in a significant amount of walking over uneven
terrain during your time ashore. We recommend comfortable
walking shoes with good ankle support.
Sport jackets and cocktail dresses are not needed at any time
during this program.
Don’t forget to pack a lightweight, waterproof jacket (preferably
hooded) or even a heavier-weight windbreaker, for colder
temperatures that can be found in Hanoi and Ha Long Bay
in late October through March.
