28 Jul 2010

Beginning with cruises departing in October, 2010*, Seabourn will be initiating a revised suggested attire policy on board The Yachts of Seabourn.

The revision addresses two issues that have been of concern to some of our guests: formal attire and jeans. The revised policies are as follows:

During the Day
Casual, resort-style attire, including jeans and shorts, is welcome in all lounges and dining venues.

Swimsuits, brief shorts, cover-ups and exercise attire should be reserved for poolside, on deck or in the spa and fitness center.

Evenings (after 6 PM) Suggested attire for all venues on board will be one of the following:

Resort Casual: Slacks and a sweater or shirt for men; sundress, skirt or slacks with a sweater or blouse for women. Jeans are not considered appropriate in the main restaurant.

Elegantly Casual: Slacks and a jacket over a sweater or collared shirt for men. Dress, skirt, or slacks with a sweater or blouse for women. Jeans are not considered appropriate in the main restaurant.

Formal Optional: While Elegantly Casual is always appropriate during the evening, a Formal Optional evening will be provided for guests who wish to dress more formally at least once each seven days.
Formal Optional attire includes a tuxedo or dark suit with tie for men, cocktail dress or other formal apparel for women. On Formal Optional evenings, we request no jeans in any of the lounges or dining venues.

The itinerary in the “Already Booked” section of Seabourn's website, or in the preliminary document booklet, will inform guests of the number of Formal Optional evenings to expect during any voyage. As a rule of thumb, Formal Optional evenings are scheduled as follows:

Cruises up to 13 days: One Formal Optional evening

Cruises of 14 to 20 days: Two Formal Optional evenings

Cruises of 21 or more days: Three Formal Optional evenings

(Note: World Cruises, Holiday voyages and crossings may be scheduled differently.)

New policy implemented beginning on the following cruise departures:
Odyssey, Spirit, Legend October 2
Pride October 7
Sojourn October 11
