Whether you have already been experimented or new in cruising, but perhaps you have some difficulties in deciding what to take, what to wear, and which quantity of clothes to take with you.
Well, this will depend on some different factors, for instance, which part of the Mediterranean you are going to explore, when, and for how long you are planning to cruise.
Some travelers have a certain preference to cruise during the summer, some others decide to have their fleet vacation in the fall, some even in the winter, or during the spring.
What to take into consideration?
Here are some suggestions, which will help you to decide what to pack for a Mediterranean cruise.
If you cruise during the summer, most of the day you are going to be in a swimming suit, in the afternoon, you maybe will do some excursions, and in the evening you’ll certainly go for dinner and dance.
Generally the weather in the fall is well comfortable during the day, but takes into consideration that the temperatures dropped quickly during the afternoon, so you must take some light jackets, and sweaters with you.
