This tour is offered through your cruise ship? If so, you will most likely find more responses on the boards for your particular cruise line.

We took this tour in 2016 with Princess. Some people dressed formally--gowns and tuxes, and others wore casual clothes. DH wore a blazer with no tie, and I wore a dressy top with dress slacks. It's your choice!

It is not required to dress formally, it is in full daylight so the magic of the main ballroom is lost compared to fall and winter. A sport coat, leather shoes for men and a nice dress or pantsuit would be fine for women. For dressing up, one should come after normal tourist season, when most who attend the opera, ballet or concerts certainly dress for the occasion. Tourists have more difficulty justifying formalwear, hard to pack without having pressing or steaming services and seeing half the others in jeans and sweatshirts takes some of the potential glamour out of the occasion.
