HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT MASK FOR A CRUISE SHIP MASQUERADE BALL      

Cruise holidays are one of the fasted growing types of tourism – and with good reason!

The ability to visit several stunning destinations in one break and have all of your meals, accommodation, and entertainment provided in a luxurious mode of transport are just some of the reasons why so many people opt to treat themselves to a cruise.

Another big draw for holidaymakers is the special gala nights that the crew put on especially to entertain their guests and make them feel like royalty for the night. During these events, guests are treated to delectable dinners and special entertainment and are usually asked to dress up for the evening to mark the occasion.

Many larger cruise liners have taken the gala nights onboard their ships a stage further and invite passengers to join in with the fun and intrigue of a masquerade ball as they sail through the evening to their next destination.

But if you’ve never been to a masquerade ball before, it can be difficult to know what type of mask would work best for you, so that’s why we’ve compiled this helpful guide to help you choose the perfect accessory.

THINK ABOUT THEMES

Many cruise ship masquerade balls will often have a theme, such as a destination that you might be travelling to or a special festival or event like  Mardi Gras, carnival or even animals!

Make sure that you find out in advance if the ball is due to have a particular theme as this will help you narrow your focus to the right type of mask for the occasion
