• Add sun protection, a compact umbrella, and clothing that covers shoulders and knees where local religious or cultural sites require modest dress.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises dress guidance

• Daytime dress is resort wear. After 6:00 PM, public areas use an Elegant Casual standard.
• Men may wear slacks with a collared shirt, dress shirt or sweater; a jacket and tie are optional. Women may wear a pantsuit, dress, skirt or trousers with an elegant top.
• Current Regent guidance accepts refined, non-distressed denim and clean neutral or classic dress sneakers at dinner. Formal dress is optional only on selected occasions.

Packing suggestions are Deluxe Cruises editorial guidance; the cruise line's final documents and the weather forecast control the last check.

• Do not promise a named restaurant, sports court, spa feature or entertainment program without checking the selected ship.

Venues, hours, inclusions, equipment, and operating conditions can vary by ship and sailing. Deluxe Cruises will reconfirm the details for this departure.
