WHAT TO PACK FOR A MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE: AN OVERVIEW

Cruising is a great way to sample some of the best of Europe in a short period, whilst only having to pack and unpack once.
Considering what to pack for a trip this this however is hard. As you have to plan ahead, and work out, which outfits suits which countries or climates. Depending on your trip, the weather could change from city to city, and it can often change drastically.
