Hi James & Barbara,

We've only traveled with Tauck and have never been disappointed. We look forward to meeting you.

Jan, Tauck advises "casual elegant wear" for women for evenings. Can you provide more specifics? Thanks

Claudia Sails

"casual elegant wear" ---- possibly the most confusing description in the world of dress codes.

Based on 2 Tauck river cruises with the same guidance:

For men - At a minimum a pair of dress slacks, long sleeve dress shirt, and leather loafers
At the maximum, the above plus a sport coat and tie. In between you can substitute a cardigan/pullover sweater for a jacket.
No need for a suit.

For women - At the minimum, a skirt or dress slacks with a nice top and suitable shoes (not sneakers or flip flops). At the maximum, a dressy dress, hose, heels, bling, the works. Lots of options in between. You on't need a long evening gown. Do bring an evening wrap or sweater just for warmth.

There will be a variety within your group. The main thing is not to worry about repeating outfits. No one cares. They're too busy having a great time.

Barbara,
Claudia's answer was very good and accurate. In the last Tauck tour we took to France, I brought and wore a longer length skirt and a nice blouse, with dressy flats (no heels) and have also worn dressy pants with a blouse and jacket. I rarely wear dresses anymore but may bring one for the theatre night in London, with hose and again flat dressy shoes. All of us on Tauck tours re-wear many outfits, rotating tops with various pants. We brought small packages of Woolite to rinse out underwear and a small bottle of Febreeze to spray on pants/jeans that were difficult to wash and get dry in time for the move to the next hotel. Looking forward to meeting you!

There is no need to dress up for the theatre in London, it's the same as New York, jeans will do.
