Clothing
Light, summer clothing is a must for cruises to warm-weather destinations while more durable wears will make sense on an expedition cruise.
Some cruise lines might have a dress code so you should consider this and pack accordingly and be prepared to dress for dinner if sailing on a more formal cruise. Most cruise ships have laundry facilities on board allowing guests to refresh their wardrobe if needs be.

Great service at a great price
Very prompt action to link our cruise with the one our friends had booked already. We loved the small deposit required to secure the booking. All the paperwork was sent within the published timescale and the agent was able to answer my queries really promptly.
