What to Pack for a Bermuda Cruise

Welcome to our tips on what to pack for a cruise from Boston to Bermuda. Travelers' wants and needs are different of course, but a few general rules can make packing easer for anyone. Don't overpack. Only bring as much luggage as you are comfortable managing yourself.

You'll be outside a lot, so remember to bring sunscreen, lip balm (with SPF), sunglasses and a hat. More than one swimsuit is a good idea if you're going in the water. Bring sandals for the beach.

This video offers several innovative ideas for "must have" things to pack for a cruise:

On Bermuda, dress casually but nice. No short-shorts or bathing suits in town. It's the home of long Bermuda shorts, so bring some of those. A sweater is useful for cool nights, and a rain shell is good for possibly rainy days. Comfortable walking shoes are essential!

If you participate in formal night activities on the ship (which you should), you will need to bring formal or semi-formal wear. Check with your cruise line for what is expected on your specific ship.

A small backpack/day-bag is useful when in port. It only has to be large enough to carry your beach items, a drink, a map or brochure.

You will need a passport and a second form of identification for a cruise to Bermuda. Make copies of the passport and the ID and pack them in a different place than the originals.
