When it comes to packing your clothing for a Fijian cruise there are three categories that are worth thinking about.
Firstly, it’s the clothing that you’re going to wear onboard the ship. You’re going to want to make sure that your clothing is comfortable but in line with your cruise’s dress code. Usually, the dress code is pretty laid back, but you want to make sure that your wardrobe is both in line with the onboard requirements but also something that’s comfortable to get around in, oh, and looks fabulous!
Now, your onboard clothing is going to be a bit different from your excursion clothing. If you’ve planned a whole host of activities during your stops, then you want to make sure your clothing reflects that. Be sure to pack some walking shoes, comfortable pants and tops that are made from a breathable fabric. The weather is generally warm all year round in Fiji, so you want to make sure your clothing isn’t going to make you work up too much of a sweat.
Most cruises often have a formal evening on board when guests dress up to the nines in their favourite dresses and tuxedos. You don’t want to feel let out when everyone else has put on their most glamorous clothes, so get into the spirit of cruising and pack your formal outfits, too.
