How "formal" does dress need to be? We are casual folks and my husband will always carry a "just-in-case" tie.
My first cruise was to Hawaii in 1957 and my last cruise was to Baja California in 2010. In addition to cruising I have also toured via train through out the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Japan.
I did do a small ship cruise to Glacier Park, Alaska in 1986. The boat carried about 54 passengers and went into some very small inlets and along side of a few glaciers. The passengers were fun and full of adventure, the crew was attentive, meals were great, accomadations were superior, and the fellowship was outstanding.
I am looking forward to this cruise and visiting Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Lativa and Russia.
It would appear that dress will be casual, but I am sure there will be a few opportunities where evening attire would be acceptable.
We're now back from an October trip and starting to finalize the details of our first Tauck excursion, albeit 6 months away! Our trip was Athens, a cruise from Athens to Rome, then Rome. It will be interesting to see what, if any difference, there are in countries outside the EU!
Would also love to hear from folks who may have traveled with Tauck in this area before, perhaps this year's equivalent. On the small ships, what is the dress code. We are not formal evening dress folks. The trip we just returned from never required a tie, or even a jacket, just what has become known as "elegant casual", a term used with apologies to Miss Manners.

We are also doing this same trip but leaving 5/12/2012 ... Anybody else ?
I have traveled 3x with Tauck, the last trip on the sister ship of LeBoreal, ( L'austral) last fall...
These ships are like mini cruise ships with 1 hallway & 6 levels ..
1/2 the ship was not Tauck.. but not to worry, Tauck did a nice job with their groups..
On our last trip, Venice- Croatia, nobody was dressed formally, Men often wore
Jackets to dinner, or suits but never Tuxedos or formal gowns... many men did wear ties..
I am also casual & even left my ties home.. Its your vacation & you should feel comfortable to dress
as you like.. ..
..Scandanavia will be a little cool, especially on deck & a sport jacket
would be quite comfortable...
I choose to wear a blazer, dress shirt & slacks..
The ship has 2 dining venues.. 1 a DR where you sit & are served... and a buffet which is more
casual... Have a gret trip !!
For first timers, I think you're in for a treat and a memorable trip. We look forward to traveling with you.

Documents came a couple of weeks ago, then last week, we received a replacement set so we are ready to go! We're leaving here on May 16th, will spend the night at the airport then head to Stockholm on May 17th so we will be in a couple of days early.
See you on board!
