Packing List for a Mediterranean Cruise

Clothing Essentials

• Light layers — Mediterranean days are warm but evenings on deck can be cool.

• Comfortable walking shoes — you will walk 10-20km on port days over cobblestones.

• A cover-up for religious sites — shoulders and knees must be covered at churches, mosques, and temples.

• Formal attire for 1-2 formal nights — a cocktail dress or suit. Smart casual works on most ships now.

• A light rain jacket — Mediterranean weather is mostly sunny but showers happen.

• Swimwear — for the ship's pool, beaches at port, and Greek island days.

Electronics and Gadgets

• A European power adapter — Mediterranean ports use Type C/F plugs. Ships often have US and European outlets.

• A portable battery pack — your phone does heavy work on port days (maps, photos, Lucy translations).

• A waterproof phone case — for beach days and rainy port excursions.

• Earbuds or headphones — for audio tours and entertainment onboard.

Items Most People Forget

• Sunscreen — Mediterranean sun is strong, especially on deck and in Greece.

• A refillable water bottle — essential for port days. Some ships have fill stations.

• Medications — including seasickness remedies if you are prone to motion sickness.

• A lanyard for your ship card — you will use it hundreds of times.

• Lucy downloaded with all language packs — do it at home, not on expensive ship Wi-Fi.
