It’s good to know that when it comes to going on a river cruise that there are some things that we need to remember to do. I am glad that you mentioned that we need to layer our wardrobe to help keep us warm the whole time. This is something that we will have to remember when we go out on one.

I do like that you encourage people to pack for extreme whether depending on what time of year they are taking their cruise. After all, even if you’re taking a cruise to get away from the winter weather, it can still be chilly in the morning. You always want to pack at least one set of clothes that could keep you warm in unexpected weather.

Packing is such a worry for many of us; this article certainly helps. And combined with the mantra that travel is not a fashion show, it should all fall into place. Invest in a good pair of black pants, black flats and loads of form fitting tee shirts and you are good to go.

In reply to Sand In My Suitcase. Having big suitcases makes it very difficult to travel by train, too. You usually can't keep them near your seat and the theft risk from the front of the car is great. As we travel more, we take less but still haven't figured out a way to pare things down to one suitcase for both of us!

Great tips!

One of the best things about river cruising is you don’t need to overpack or worry about schleping your stuff from city to city. Unpack once and be done for the remainder of your trip!

Great article! Now if only we could pack light :-). We just got back from a trip to the Riviera Maya (where you’d think you only need sandals, a bathing suit and shorts) and we still lugged big suitcases. No more though. That’s the last time, we swear! If you’re going to be taking local buses and ferries, you just have to travel light. (If you’re on a long multi-week cruise, taking taxis or pre-arranged transport to/from the ship, then you can throw the kitchen sink into your suitcase.)

Wonderful information – and just in time. I’m going on a Viking river cruise in early Dec. and while I’ve been on nearly 20 ocean cruises, this is a first and I’ve been wondering what to take.
Thank you so much!

Packing is the only part of traveling I don’t like, even though I’ve managed to become pretty good at it. Your post is very helpful since I’ll be on a river cruise for the first time next month. Shoshanna is a lovely model for the scarf, but the question is — who is that man in the Polo shirt? 🙂
