Silver seas explorer - antarctica- do they really dress for dinner?

i have read different things. I don't want to haul along nice dinner outfits if everyone else is wearing jeans. 😳

Anyone done this cruise recently?

You don't have to bring formal wear, but do need something nicer than jeans for dinner. On our cruises on Explorer, I usually bring a couple of cocktail dresses for the "special" evenings (the captain's welcome, the veniciam society dinner, the farewell dinner. Then the rest of the nights, pants and fancy tops.

My husband does not bring a suit, but does wear a long sleeved dress shirt and nice pants. The only night when jeans are really allowed is the last night of the cruise.

I agree with Rachel, pants/skirts and a dressy top, and cocktail wear for the special nights. My husband wears a long sleeve dress shirt and pants, a tie and jacket on the special nights in cold climates. We love the Silver Explorer you will have a great time !

As Rachel mentioned, a couple of nicer outfits for the Welcome dinner, Venitian's evening, and Farewell dinner are all that are needed. The other evenings in the Antarctic are quite relaxed and informal.

Thanks everyone.

The expedition cruises are much more casual. I took a tux on our Agean sea cruise.

For the expedition cruises no tie or jacket required. A long sleeve dress shirt with black khakis and leather boat shoes was fine. Or a few sharp Hawaiian shirts will do.

Thank you Cool Cruiser. Of course, I'm a woman, and don't own any cool Hawaiian shirts, but I get the drift. :cool:
