Offiziersbegleitungen

German to English Marketing Tourism & Travel Cruise ships
... klassische Gewohnheiten wie das Kapitänsdinner, Galaempfänge oder Offiziersbegleitungen

... classic traditions such as the captain's dinner, gala receptions or ???

I've spent a long time searching now but can find no reference to anything where ship's officers accompany/escort guests anywhere. Does anyone have any idea?

guided tours around the ship

On P&O cruises, a Personal Cruise Specialist will take you in a group around the entire ship.

neutral AllegroTrans : problem here is that the ST seems to be saying that the tour is conducted by an Officer, not a mere Cruise Specialist

ship officer escorts

would be the obvious.
Just guessing, but ship officers doubling as escorts for unattached ladies at some of the "gala receptions".

One of my dream jobs, especially if the ladies were to need a distraction from mourning wealthy, departed husbands

neutral AllegroTrans : evidence?

agree Adrian MM. (X) : very likely in that string. But, beware, my inside informants tell me that, traditionally, it is very old ladies and ancient 'battle axes' - bulldogs with a wasp in the mouth - looking for male, uniformed companionship.

neutral Horst Huber (X) : What if the officer happens to be a woman? Or the escorted VIPs?

a visit to the ship's bridge

Back on board, the evening begins with an informative cooking demonstration, followed by a visit to the ship's bridge and engine room, a barbecue buffet and again some squid fishing.

Some of the behind-the-scenes tours include the laundry and the kitchens. I hardly think an officer would be delegated to those duties. This is surely about watching the captain and the officers at work on the bridge.

A visit to the Bridge is included in our Behind The Scenes tour.

A visit to the bridge is something every avid cruiser longs for, a chance to really get to see the vessel for what she is.

klassische Gewohnheiten...
I think the clue is in this lead-in. A visit to the ship's bridge is a 'classic' treat, whereas a full tour (engine room and all) is a more recent innovation.
Peer comment(s):
agree AllegroTrans : Despite this not being implicit in the ST, it seems the most probable scenario

Thanks, Allegro. I was poised to click agree under Clive's proposal but then concluded it was probably too diffuse as the third element of a triplet.
