Though committed to maintaining a sense of refinement and elegance on board, these changes will encourage greater comfort for guests in their evening wear.

In line with the changes to the dress code, Oceania guests will be permitted to choose evening wear that is smart, refined and comfortable. Though you may continue to wear a more formal attire, perhaps a tuxedo or an evening gown, those who feel more comfortable may opt for stylish, non-distressed jeans and smart trainers during the evening.

A bold step into the future of ultra-luxury cruising, Regent Seven Seas have also opted to relax elements of their formal dress code. Refined denim and smart trainers are now permitted during the evening, encouraging casual elegance rather than a strictly formal attire. Formal wear will become optional during the evening, though those who prefer to dress to impress will never be out of place on board.

Marking a transformation in the luxury cruising industry, these changes demonstrate a commitment from both cruise lines to hearing the feedback of their guests and continuously evolving accordingly. As social standards and customs continue to transform with each generation, as do the preferences of luxury travellers, and both Oceania and Regent Seven Seas are leading the way in bringing luxury cruise travel into the future. This forward-thinking approach could mark the first wave in a new approach to luxury and ultra-luxury cruise travel.
