Packing Tips for Norwegian's Theme Nights

It's amazing to think of all the esteemed awards Norwegian Cruise Line has won throughout the years, including being cited as the World's Leading Cruise Line. Here's another accolade that should grab your attention: best nightlife. Norwegian guests know how to party. We all know it's easy to show up at any celebration or event in life, but wouldn't you rather look the part and get in on the action? Let's have some fun Norwegian style. Check out the inside scoop on what you need to pack for some of the hottest parties at sea.

Ocean Music Fest

It’s the ultimate jam session where musicians from around the ship merge their talents on one stage for this world class concert experience. This must see event, filled with all of your party favorites, happens tonight only. Don’t miss Ocean Music Fest.

Awesome '80s Dance Party

Yuppies, unite. Now that you've danced the night away to the '70s, you can Cabbage Patch or Moonwalk your way into the '80s. Either way, you'll be doing The Running Man in no time. The '80s had some wild clothing styles, so the crazier, the better. Think leg warmers, shoulder pads, and neon colors topped off with fingerless gloves for women. What about the totally rad mesh T-shirts and parachute pants for men? A must before cruising? You'll need to review and memorize the Thriller dance moves.

Norwegian's Glow Party

The signature Norwegian Cruise Line Glow Party will easily be one of the most attended parties during your cruise. Why? It could be because it's such a simple concept: Wear all-white clothing, and you're good to go. Or maybe it's because the DJs are spinning some of the trendiest club music around. This iconic party idea originated in France more than 50 years ago as a fundraiser, and it's still white hot today. Fashion tip for women? Wear skin tone unmentionables underneath your white clothing so they won't show. For men? It's time to wear those white sneakers.

Whether you're a first-time cruise guest or an Ambassador Latitudes Rewards Member, feel free to party it up on board Norwegian Cruise Line. After all, you're on vacation. Where do all the themed night parties take place? Many of these events are held at Spice H20, an adults-only venue by day, turned hip oceanfront club at night. When you enter this space, you'll find an open-air dance floor, a giant TV screen, and plenty of cozy seating areas. You'll discover an inviting bar area, hot tubs, and grotto-style waterfalls for cooling off, plus amazing ocean views. Other parties take place on the top deck. Just be sure to check your daily for more information.

It's important to mention that you don't have to attend any party or do anything you basically don't want to do on a cruise ship. Feel free to do what you want, when you want — that's the beauty of Freestyle Cruising with Norwegian Cruise Line. Why? The experience is all about you. It's your vacation, your way. Don't worry about learning those Michael Jackson dance moves — unless you want to, of course. Enjoy your cruise vacation however you want. And after all, you still need enough room in your suitcase to bring home souvenirs, so leave that sequin glove at home.
