    We are sailing out of Southampton September 1st for a seven night Northern Europe cruise. Can anyone tell me if there is a semi formal night as well as the formal night and is there theme night please

    Ahoy there, Michele!

    Welcome aboard planDisney! I can practically hear the ship’s horn now as you’re only two days away from setting sail on your magical Northern Europe adventure aboard the Fantasy. Let’s get you shipshape with all the details so you know exactly what to pack for those special evenings!

    First, a little reminder from Captain Mickey himself—entertainment and schedules are always subject to change, so once you board, open up the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to confirm the latest plans. That being said, here’s what’s charted for your voyage:

    • Day 2 (Zeebrugge) – Formal Night. This is the perfect opportunity to step into the spotlight in your best attire. Think of it as your very own “Be Our Guest” moment with dazzling photo backdrops in the Atrium—ideal for capturing memories worthy of a storybook.

    • Day 3 (Amsterdam) – Pirate Night. Get ready to let your inner buccaneer shine! Whether you’re channeling Captain Jack Sparrow, Pirate King Elizabeth Swann, or your own pirate crew with matching shirts, the day is filled with seafaring fun. From a pirate-themed dinner menu to lively activities and a swashbuckling deck party, it’s a night where “Yo Ho, Yo Ho” becomes your family anthem. Just a note: due to local laws, fireworks won’t be part of this particular sailing—but trust me, the energy onboard will still feel explosive.

    • Day 7 (at sea) – Semi-formal Night. Consider this your encore performance to dress to impress. If you missed snapping those elegant shots earlier in the cruise, this is your second chance to shine brighter than Cinderella’s glass slipper.

    I hope this helps you feel ready to sail into your adventure, Michele! Whether you’re donning your finest or your fiercest pirate gear, each night onboard offers a sprinkle of pixie dust to make your memories extra magical.

    Sea ya real soon as we ride the wave of summer’s final stretch in Disney style,
