As coronavirus travel restrictions continue to ease, many of us are eager to travel overseas during the upcoming warmer months. Summer sailing season is right around the corner, so what better way to enjoy the summer breeze than to enjoy it on a cruise? BeachCandy has got you covered on how to prepare for a cruise and all the proper items to pack. We offer a great selection of cruise clothes for women that you can take from day to night, making it a breeze to pack for your cruise.
Depending on the kind of cruise you're embarking, you will have to pack accordingly. If the destination you’re headed to is warm and sunny, you will most definitely need to include swimsuits, coverups, sun protection such as sunglasses and hats, and perhaps some accessories you can wear poolside, at the beach, or to dinner. It is equally important to pack smart casual clothing for breakfasts, lunches, and excursions as much as it is important to pack more formal clothing for the dining room. One plus about cruise ships is that your transportation and accommodation are one, so you only have to unpack once.
We’ve included some items such as casual dresses, casual day outfits to wear on shore excursions, a blazer for the more formal nights, and accessory pieces that will be perfect to incorporate when you are packing. We have an excellent selection of resortwear here at BeachCandy and we’ve curated a packing list of our favorite cruise outfits that you'll surely want to consider for your trip.
What to Wear
HARUKO Short Kimono Beach Cover Up
This thigh length cover up provides comfort while still allowing your beautiful bathing suit to be shown off.
