Evening Dress

in The Rhine and Moselle
My husband and I will be departing Basel on Sept 12th trip. I am wondering how people dress for dinner on board the ship. I understand that the dress code is not formal but am hoping that evenings folks tend to dress a little less casual than daytime attire. I would appreciate hearing from someone who has taken the trip.

    For the most you dress as going to a nice restaurant. Women wear nice pants with tops. Whatever you are comfortable in you are on vacation. No nothing fancy but I would not do shorts or jeans.

    My take is that for daytime site seeing, which often involves a lot of walking, sometimes over cobbled streets, you dress for comfort and practicality. For evening, it's time to freshen up, cajole the tootsies into nicer, less practical shoes before donning what Tauck call casually elegant attire in the Before You Go section on the web page for your trip. As Crackers says, wear what you'd wear to a nice restaurant at home. You will be dining in one of the very nicest environments in Europe so of course you wouldn't be wearing shorts or jeans, would you!

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the great info on evening dress aboard ship. That is the type of clothing that I was planning to take so I appreciate the comments. We are really looking forward to our upcoming trip in September.

    I took this cruise several years ago beginning of. May. Loved it. I went in a few days early and took city bus to where the tulip and spent the whole day there on my own timetable. You catch the bus in the center and have one transfer at the airport. I completely enjoyed the trip and highly recommend it.

    Thanks for your reply. We thought it would be a break from the tours we usually take. No packing and unpacking and gorgeous scenery right at our doorstep.
