11 Cruise Shore Excursion Packing Tips

Are you planning a cruise but not sure what to bring along for shore excursions? Here's a list of our handiest tips for planning your excursion must-haves.

Tips on What to Pack for Your Cruise

Packing for a cruise aboard Norwegian Cruise Line should feel easy because the days ahead will be. Think clothes that don’t rush you, shoes that don’t argue with you, and shorts that work well at noon and at sunset. Out here, it’s less about outfits and more about options. Things you can move in. Breathe in. Accidentally nap in. So before you overthink it (you know you will), here’s the simple truth: if it lets the day take you where it wants to go, pack it. If it doesn’t, leave it home (along with your agenda).
