Top Nine Things to Pack for a Norwegian Cruise Line 7-day cruise
Setting sail for a week of sunshine and turquoise waters with Norwegian Cruise Line? Sounds incredible! But before you dream of fruity cocktails on deck, you'll want to ensure you've packed the essentials. To make sure you're ready for relaxation and adventure, here's a top nine list of must-pack items for your unforgettable 7-day Norwegian Cruise Line adventure!
Swimwear: Pack several swimsuits for lounging by the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, or enjoying water activities offered on the ship. Here’s my list of Amazon swimming favorites!
Cover-ups: Bring lightweight cover-ups like stylish sarongs or breezy kimonos to throw over your swimsuit when exploring the pool deck or grabbing lunch on the Lido deck. I absolutely adore this one, and it comes in 34 colors!
Casual Clothing: Pack comfortable, casual clothes for everyday wear on the ship. Think sundresses, shorts, t-shirts, polo shirts, and comfortable pants.
Formal Wear: While Norwegian Cruise Line has a Freestyle Dress Code, there might be a couple of evenings designated as "Dress Up" nights. Pack a dressy outfit or cocktail dress for women and a collared shirt, dress pants, or a sports jacket for men for these occasions.
Underwear and Sleepwear: Pack enough comfortable underwear and sleepwear for the duration of your cruise.
Shoes: Pack versatile shoes for various activities. Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring Bermuda's ports of call, flip-flops for the pool deck, and a dressier pair of shoes for formal nights.
Toiletries: Pack your essential toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, sunscreen, toothpaste, and any medications you require. Packing cubes (like these) make organization a breeze!
Sunscreen, Sunglasses, and Hat: The Bermuda sun can be strong, so pack reef-safe sunscreen with a high SPF, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat to protect yourself from the rays. Also, as someone who learned the hard way, pack band aids in case you get too close to the reef! 🪸
Beach Bag: Bring a beach bag for carrying your essentials to the pool deck or beach excursions. I love this small, zip-up backpack that can condense into a zippered pouch.
