November Cruise Deals

In November, you can cruise with us to your pick of the Canary Islands, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Norway, and Spain and Portugal.

We have two dress codes in place to make your time on board that extra bit special. Here’s a useful guide so you know what to expect and you cand dress for any and all occasions.

During the day:  The dress code during the day is just your typical holiday wardrobe. Think t-shirts, shorts and sundresses (unless you’re heading to Northern Europe in winter!). Away from the pool, we ask for shoes to be worn and no pool wear in the ship’s lounges, inside bars, restaurants or reception. It may be chilly on deck and breezy in the evening (even in the tropics), so be sure to pack light layers. We’d also recommend flat shoes for strolling the decks.

Evening dress codes: We have two dress codes that apply in the evenings: Evening Casual and Black Tie. Nights where the dress code is Evening Casual, you can bring out your best shirt, dress and smart, dark denim. For nights where the dress code is Black Tie, make sure to pack your best tux, suit or cocktail dress.

There are some venues on each ship where dress codes don’t apply, so make sure to check your Horizon paper that’s delivered to your cabin each day to check where these are, as they vary ship by ship.

Dress codes for children: For those travelling on family-friendly ships, dress codes also don’t apply to children aged 17 and under. However, they can still dress to impress if they want to! 

November cruises are a great option if you’d like to save a pretty penny or two – fewer travellers during this time period often mean reduced prices not just on the cost of your booking but also on shore. Whether you’d like to explore warm, sunny climes or frost-tipped mountain peaks, we’ve got you covered. What’s more – we offer a range of shorter and longer duration cruises so you can have the holiday you want no matter what your schedule looks like in November.
