Themed Parties - Nighttime

Wild Things 🌙

Jungle/tropical theme. Think being in the wild, Tarzan, wild animals, etc.
Neon or fluorescent clothes for something easy, else bright colored clothes works too. Bright white (not off white) clothes will glow from the black lights.
Dress like jungle characters like Tarzan or George of the Jungle.
Take inspiration from jungle animals like tigers or monkeys.
An easy option is to dress in brown and/or green
Bonus for anything that lights up or glow in the dark.

Neon Playground 🌙

Mix of lights, neon, sparkles, glow in the dark & games, cartoons, anime. Usually indoors - can get warm and humid so plan accordingly.
Neon or fluorescent clothes for something easy, else bright colored clothes works too. Bright white (not off white) clothes will glow from the black lights.
Dress like a character from cartoons, anime, games, etc.
Add glow in the dark or light-up accessories, such as a glow-stick necklace, LED light-up bracelet, or glow in the dark body paint.

Get Sporty 🌙

Sports theme. Beyond sports uniforms and gear, think cheerleaders, locker rooms
Sports uniforms of any kind should work, though you’ll probably want to make it a...
...crop top! Buy one or take scissors to any shirt
Bonus for mesh shirts
Bottoms that are naturally tight and skimpy works well: speedos, really short soccer/running shorts, football tights
Going the other way, you can get some shoulder pads (football style) and knee pads that aren’t too bulky.
Accessorize with armbands, headbands, sweatbands, baseball caps. You can have inflatable sports gear like baseball bats. Even a bit of war paint.
Jockstraps, duh!

Virgin White 🌙

White theme. Another Atlantis signature on the second-last night. Whether simple or extravagant, just wear white!
For something super easy, plain white shorts/shirt, job done.
To take it up a notch, look at other types of white clothing, such as speedos or nice underwear.
Wear a recognizable white outfit: Snow White, Marilyn Monroe, Princess Leia
Add white accessories: earrings, harness, tiara, go nuts.
Even better: accessories that light up or glow in white.

Themed Parties - Daytime T-Dances

Dog Tag T-Dance ☀️

Military theme. An Atlantis signature. Metal dog tags will be handed out with your choice or green, yellow, or red stickers to indicate your level of availability. Wear sunscreen and bring sunglasses.
Camo is always on theme. Try different colors (blue, pink, forest green, etc.) and accessorize with camo hats, bandanas, etc.
Color-coded outfit: dress in all black, olive drab green, or navy blue. A super-easy option are a plain black short and shorts.
Dress like a navy sailor, air force pilot, or any similarly recognizable uniform.
Leather gear works, especially black leather.
Aviator sunglasses with any of the above.

Twisted Pink T-Dance ☀️

Pink theme. Wear sunscreen and sunglasses.
Wear pink, duh. Any pink clothes will do.
Iconic characters in pink: Barbie and Ken, Mean Girls, Minnie Mouse, Jigglypuff, Pink Power Ranger, etc.
Pink versions of any uniform you can think of: sports jerseys, jock straps, pink scrubs, school girls uniform, etc.

Splash T-Dance ☀️

Water theme. This is an occasional Atlantis classic that’s not on every sailing: water fight meets t-dance on the pool deck!
moisture

Be prepared to get at least slightly wet!

You won’t get totally soaked (unless you want to!) but you’ll probably get splashed (more than once) so leave your phone and valuables in the room.
Less is more for this theme, which is a bit less about fashion and more about splashing around.
Any swimsuit will work - in fact that’s what most people will (and should) be wearing!
To stand out a bit, think about different types of swimsuits you can wear, such as from different eras, the full body ones that synchronized swimmers wear, the bring orange shorts from Baywatch, etc.
Inflatable water wings, swim goggles, and nose plugs are some fun (and practical) accessories you can don.

Revival: Classic Disco T-Dance ☀️

Disco theme. The final big party of the cruise on the last full day. Wear sunscreen with your disco attire.
Metallic-colored clothes, especially leggings. An all-gold looks works well.
Bell bottoms, jumpsuits, anything sequined
Accessorize: afro wigs, large oversized gold sunglasses (aviators also work), gold jewelry, wide belts, headbands, etc.

Un-themed Parties

These parties don’t have an outfit theme, so wear whatever you want. Shorts or underwear is perfect, or step it up with accessories.

Sail-Away Party ☀️

Not a dance party like the others listed here, but a gathering outdoors above the pool deck to start meeting your fellow cruisers and watch the ship sail away from the port.

Welcome Party 🌙

The first proper party of the cruise, on the first night. Unofficially it’s an underwear party, so feel free to pull on your flashiest pair of undies!

Atlantis Classics Party 🌙

Music from the 80s, 90s, into the 2000s.

Last Dance 🌙

Final chance to dance on the last night of the cruise.

musical-notes

Will there be an EDM concert night?

The million dollar question that’s hard to predict 🤔 I think it’s possible but I’m not sure it would feature a high-profile EDM artist. This cruise is a day longer than usual (8 vs 7) so Atlantis needs something to fill that extra night. If I had to bet I’d give it 60/40 odds.
