An invitation to attend a magnificent evening of music and festivities while wearing your best black tie. On Cunard you’ll experience the Gala Evenings, the genuine romance of ocean travel is at its most vibrant. As passengers emerge from their staterooms in their finest evening attire — beautifully dressed in ball gowns and tuxedos — like a scene from a Hollywood film, you’ll sense the vibe of an unforgettable occasion.
A Cunard Cruise Gala is a formal event with a dress code, fine dining, and trademark cuisines, where guests are greeted graciously and treated to an unforgettable experience. The elegantly produced invites delivered to their staterooms serve as an invitation. On the night of the Gala, you can anticipate your ship to completely turn into a flurry of decorations, giving its guests a festival-like atmosphere.
They invite you to a Gala Evening at least once on every three-night or longer journey, with the dress code always given ahead of time so you may pack correctly. On certain nights, your ship will undergo a transformation, complete with decorations, customized dining menus, and specialty beverages. On Cunard you will be given a complimentary drink waiting for you at dinner, musicians to amuse you late into the night, and a general sense of celebration throughout your ship. It is truly a beautiful time to be on board.
Gala evenings have one of four themes: Roaring Twenties, Masquerade, Red and Gold, or Black and White. The décor of your ship, the musical performances throughout the evening, and the specialty drinks and food served that evening in our bars and restaurants all make references to these themes. More ideas on how to dress for these extremely special evenings on board, as well as for daytime on board and ashore, can be found in our “What to pack for a Cunard Cruise” guide.
