The dress code for the Volendam cruise ship generally leans towards resort casual during the day, with specific exceptions for fine-dining venues and itineraries in certain regions like Alaska.
General Daytime Dress Code
Throughout the day, guests are encouraged to wear resort casual attire. This typically means comfortable yet neat clothing suitable for a relaxed vacation environment.
For instance, appropriate daytime wear might include:
- For women: Sundresses, skirts, capris, casual dresses, shorts, and blouses.
- For men: Polo shirts, button-down shirts, slacks, tailored shorts, and clean jeans.
Dress Code for Alaska Itineraries
When cruising to Alaska, the dress code becomes even more relaxed to accommodate the cooler climate and outdoor activities. Standard clothing for port days in Alaska often consists of:
- Jeans
- Hiking boots
- Sweatshirts
Dress Code for Fine-Dining Restaurants
While the overall atmosphere is casual, specific items are strictly prohibited in the Volendam's fine-dining restaurants to maintain a more refined dining experience. Guests should avoid the following in these venues:
| Prohibited Item | Applies To |
|---|---|
| Beachwear | All guests |
| Distressed jeans | All guests |
| Men's tank tops | Men |
For evenings, especially when dining in specialty restaurants or the main dining room, many guests choose to wear slightly more formal attire, such as dress slacks and collared shirts for men, and dresses, skirts, or dressy pants with blouses for women, even if it's not a formal night.
