LNugent Posted August 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Does anyone know if there will be formal nights on Venture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worcestergal Posted August 10, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2022 According to the booking information we’ve received, there will be 2 formal nights on our 15-night cruise in September. My husband is bringing a blazer, so (hopefully) that will be sufficient for an expedition cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame. I thought Venture was supposed to be an expedition ship. Edited August 11, 2022 by Fletcher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted August 11, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2022 We are definitely not taking a Tux to Antarctica :). On the other hand some might argue that a "Penguin Suit" is appropriate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted August 11, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2022 It is still Seabourn no a Blazer is not too much to ask at dinner. The Colonnade would be less dressy or even eating outside if you don’t want to wear a jacket. It’s not too much trouble to pack or wear a jacket when they go on a luxury expedition cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcshane Posted August 12, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Very excited to hear that there will be formal nights. We like to dress up on vacation and especially after being in expedition gear all day! Great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted August 12, 2022 #9 Share Posted August 12, 2022 You always have the option of not eating in the Restaurant in the evening. Would think you would want to get out of the expedition clothes you wore all day and clean up before dinner, but that’s just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind it's Seabourn's first such ship — and they apparently have decided expedition cruises should still have an element of dressing up. It's different than Silversea, which does not have formal nights on their expedition ships… which some will doubtless applaud and some will decry.

gojirra Posted August 13, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I prefer no formal nights at all when on vacation even on “ultra luxury” cruiselines, had enough opportunities to dress up while not on vacation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'know, there's nothing stopping you from dressing up for breakfast, lunch and dinner on any cruise if you're that excited about dressing up. We prefer to dress comfortably while on vacation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how everyone is different. We have very few opportunities to dress up while not on vacation. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be alone, and you should enjoy your trip. Just understand not everyone feels the same way, and don't let it ruin your vacation or upset you to find a variety of levels of dress in the restaurants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree -- for both formal wear and informal wear. We never wear clothes that don't fit properly. It's much easier to buy new clothes than to try to make ones you've grown out of fit. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
