This is our list of all the must-haves to ensure a hassle-free cruising experience:
Travel documents
Credit/debit card and cash in different currencies
Camera for collecting moments
A varied set of clothes and footwear
You will need to pack all sorts of outfits when sailing to Asia. Always be in the know and research the expected weather and season during the time of your visit, so you can prepare your clothes accordingly. Asian countries are generally warm, so pack some casual and loose-fitting clothes for your shore excursions, but don’t forget to bring some thick layers if you’re visiting during the winter. Select Asian countries require culture-appropriate and conservative dress codes, so consider packing a non-revealing wardrobe for clothing etiquette.
Hygiene essentials and medications
While most staterooms are already appointed with bath amenities, it’s still best if you can bring your travel-sized toiletries especially for excursions. You can also carry personal hygiene products, as well as health and safety products, such as medications (sickness remedies, pain relievers, prescription medicines, vitamins, etc.) and a personalised first-aid kit.
