Are you gearing up for an unforgettable liveaboard cruise? Whether diving into the deep blue or simply savouring a leisure-filled adventure, you’ll spend much of your time in the open air, exposed to nature’s elements. To make your journey as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, here’s a list of must-have items to pack:
1. Swimwear
Pack a few sets of swimmers, as you’ll be spending a lot of time in the water. Comfort and quick-drying materials are key.
2. A Beautiful Outfit for Stunning Pictures
Being on such beautiful beaches, you surely will want to take a shot or two, so it’s good to be prepared for a spontaneous photoshoot!
3. Cozy Evening Wear
Evenings can get a bit chilly, so bring a cosy piece of clothing, like a light sweater or shawl, to stay warm while stargazing or enjoying dinner on deck.
4. Waterproof Jacket
Tropical weather can be unpredictable, bringing sudden rain or wind. A lightweight, waterproof jacket will keep you dry and comfortable.
5. Flip-Flops and Trekking Shoes
Flip-Flops: Perfect for village visits, especially as the wooden jetties in villages can become scorching hot under the sun.
Trekking Shoes: Essential for the 1-2 trekking adventures planned on most cruises.
6. Sunscreen and a Hat
The tropical sun is intense, and sunburn can sneak up on you. A high-SPF sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat are your best defences.
7. Mosquito Repellent
While there are no mosquitoes onboard, you’ll appreciate mosquito repellent during treks and sunset beach outings.
8. Personal Medical Kit
Most liveaboards have a first aid kit onboard, but having your personal, trusted medical essentials ensures you’re prepared for any minor ailments.
9. Dry Bag
A dry bag is indispensable for keeping your belongings safe and dry during speedboat rides or sudden tropical showers.
10. A Good Book
Relaxing on the boat’s comfy sofas with a captivating book is a perfect way to unwind between adventures.
By packing these essentials, you’ll be ready for an amazing liveaboard experience, fully prepared to enjoy every moment of your adventure at sea!
