7 Night Rhine River Christmas Cruise

Celebrity Cruises has different dress codes depending on the time of day. During the day, the dress code is relaxed, while evenings call for Smart Casual or, on selected nights, Evening Chic attire.

• Resort Wear: During the day, you can dress casually in clothing such as sundresses, shorts, polo shirts and shirts, paired with sandals, low heels or loafers. Swimwear, cover-ups, T-shirts, vests, hats and sunglasses are welcome around the pool. However, swimwear, see-through cover-ups, robes, bare feet, vests, T-shirts and baseball caps should not be worn in the main or speciality restaurants.
• Smart Casual: Smart Casual attire is required in the main dining room, speciality restaurants and Celebrity Theatre in the evening. Suitable options include dresses, skirts, trousers or smart jeans with a stylish top or shirt. Shorts and flip-flops are not considered Smart Casual.
• Evening Chic: Each itinerary typically features one or two Evening Chic nights, Celebrity Cruises’ take on the traditional formal night. You’re encouraged to dress up in a way that feels comfortable to you, whether that’s a cocktail dress, an elegant top with a skirt or trousers, smart jeans or a blazer. Some guests choose to wear more traditional formalwear, such as a tuxedo or evening gown.

Your daily programme will let you know the recommended dress code for each evening.

Celebrity Cruises operates a cashless system onboard. Your purchases are charged to your personal SeaPass® account, which you’ll set up with a credit or debit card, or a cash deposit.

You’ll use it to pay for additional purchases such as drinks, speciality dining, spa treatments, shopping and shore excursions. You can keep track of your spending through the Celebrity Cruises app, your in-stateroom TV where available, or by visiting Guest Relations.

If you register a credit or debit card, Celebrity Cruises may place temporary authorisation holds on your card during the cruise. We then charge your final onboard balance to your registered payment method at the end of your sailing.

Celebrity Cruises is predominantly adult-focused, with its sophisticated atmosphere, contemporary ships and emphasis on dining, entertainment and relaxation particularly appealing to adults aged around 40 to 70. However, there is no specific target age, and you’ll find adults of all ages enjoying life on board. Celebrity Cruises itself describes its ships as adult-focused, with many experiences designed primarily with grown-up guests in mind.

The cruise line is not adults-only, so families are welcome too. If you’re travelling with children, Celebrity Cruises’ ocean ships offer dedicated facilities and age-appropriate activities through Camp at Sea for ages 3 to 12, alongside separate programming and spaces for teenagers aged 13 to 17.
