Packing Essentials for your Cruise Around Europe
There’s nothing quite like drifting along the European coast, docking at historical ports, and immersing yourself in one of the many rich cultures that the continent offers. As you prepare for your cruise, along with those essential outfits and gadgets, there’s another component of your journey that requires planning: Cruise Travel Insurance. Let’s take a look at everything you need to have when preparing for your European Cruise.
What to Wear
Daywear: Europe’s charm lies in its diverse climates, so it is important to prepare for any weather. A lightweight jacket for Amsterdam’s breezy canals or breathable attire for Barcelona’s sun-soaked streets are must-haves.
Evening: Every cruise line is different; however, many of them will offer evening events! A combination of semi-formal and formal wear ensures you’re ready for any dining experience.
Footsteps in Europe: Comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable. From hiking through rocky terrain to ambling through the old cobblestone streets, having sturdy footwear is essential.
Beyond the Wardrobe
Travel Documents:
Your passport to Europe – quite literally. Along with cruise tickets and visas, always keep a copy handy.
Toiletries and Medications:
Whether it’s French Riviera sunblock or essentials like daily medications, your toiletries bag is your daily companion.
Tech:
Capture the Northern Lights in Norway or the Eiffel Tower at sunset. Cameras, chargers, and adaptors should be on your list.
