What is the dress attire for Ponant - Expedition/Antarctica cruise?   Day time attire when not out on shore, dinners??   Reading mixed reviews so really confused..

 

Thanks in advance!

We did this cruise in 2019.  Casual attire during the day with lots of sweaters, fleece, track and yoga pants.  Daytime very casual including meals. There was one more dressy night with the Captain.  Other nights were country club casual, collared shirt, slacks and sweaters. Pic below was in the lounge in the evening. Some nights we were a bit more casual than that. I did not see any formal or semi formal attire.  I took one sweater dress, hubby brought a sport coat. Other than that nothing dressy. The lounges had a living room feel about them.  Couches, chairs, fuzzy throws, etc.  It was a very chic yet comfortable atmosphere.  Honestly, it’s more important to worry about having the right warm hats, gloves, scarf, socks, toe warmers, etc. than what you wear to dinner.  
 

Met some very interesting people.  Passengers pretty much divided between  English (30%) and French (70%) speakers.  Ship was lovely, food good, wine OK.  Focus is on scenery and wild life. Both were stunning!

Listen to what @81Zoomie said above or what @AussieBoyTX said in his reply to you (https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2972324-antarctica-on-laustral-help-needed-questions/#comment-66378058). They are telling it like it is.

Thanks.  I think we were over thinking it.  Dinners are were we were so confused….do I wear slacks or a dress each night or are yoga pants with uggs and top good?
