Regent Seven Seas Cruises Expands Evening Dress Code
Regent Seven Seas Cruises, known as The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet, updated its evening attire guidelines effective August 1, 2025.
The line’s Elegant Casual dress code expanded to include refined denim and dress sneakers in all public areas after 6:00 p.m., including restaurants.
What Changed
- Refined denim – stylish jeans with no rips, tears, or distressing.
- Dress sneakers – clean, contemporary sneakers in neutral or classic colors that maintain a polished look.
This adjustment reflected the growing trend in luxury hospitality and fine dining toward modern elegance — a blend of sophistication, comfort, and style.
Why the Change?
Regent Seven Seas Cruises has always adapted to evolving guest preferences while maintaining its hallmark of ultra-luxury. Across the globe, prestigious restaurants and private clubs have been embracing elevated yet more relaxed attire. Regent followed suit, ensuring that its evening ambiance remained refined while also relevant to today’s luxury traveler.
According to the line, it expanded its Elegant Casual evening dress code to reflect today’s wider interpretation of sophisticated fashion after listening to guest feedback.
Can Guests Still Dress Up?
Absolutely. Those who enjoy a more formal experience have always been welcome. Slacks with a collared shirt, cocktail dresses, gowns, three-piece suits, or tuxedos remain completely appropriate. No matter how elegant you choose to dress, you will never feel out of place.
What’s Still Not Allowed
- Shorts
- T-shirts
- Baseball caps
- Flip-flops
- Bathrobes
- Athletic shoes
NO JEANS THAT HAVE LOST A FIGHT WITH A LAWN MOWER!
