    Cruise Packing Essentials

    Packing for a cruise is different from packing for a hotel trip. Our cruise packing guides cover essentials, what not to bring and region-specific lists.

    Cruise packing basics

    Pack a small carry-on with medicine, documents, a swimsuit and a change of clothes, because checked bags can take hours to reach your cabin. Check your cruise line’s banned items list before you pack. Bring layers for sea days and comfortable shoes for shore excursions.
