If you are wondering what to wear on a Regent cruise, the answer just became more flexible and guest-friendly, as the luxury cruise line is implementing an Elegant Casual dress code after 6PM across their entire fleet.

This major shift allows guests to wear refined denim and dress sneakers in all public areas, including restaurants – a notable departure from traditional luxury cruise line dress codes.

Under the new policy, guests can enjoy:

Refined Denim: Stylish jeans that are free of rips or distressing are now welcome in all dining venues after 6PM.

Dress Sneakers: Clean, polished sneakers in neutral or classic tones are permitted throughout the ship’s public areas.

Continued Formal Options: Guests who prefer dressing up for dinner are still welcome to do so, with formal wear remaining a celebrated choice onboard.
