5) Shore excursions: when planning what to pack for excursions, consider your destination and the type of environment. For example, casual and lightweight clothes such as t-shirts, shorts, and comfortable sneakers are ideal for visits to Split or Corfu. If you’re cruising to Northern countries, warm clothing is essential, and it’s always smart to bring a sweatshirt. A pashmina is also a highly recommended accessory to deal with temperature changes.
In any case, Costa Cruises reminds guests that on-board shops can help if you forget anything; hairdressers and beauticians are also available to help you look your best. In addition to snapping your own photos, you may also take advantage of professional photographers available on the ship.
