Packing essentials for your Fred. Olsen cruise
When you first join a Fred. Olsen cruise, it’s natural to spend a bit of time wondering what to pack. Even with our generous 90kg (200lb) luggage allowance on UK‑departing cruises, it’s still those little extras that can make all the difference once you’re on board.[ReadMoreMob]
To help you get started, members of the Fred. Olsen Cruise Group Facebook community have shared their favourite simple tips and clever packing ideas. Here are some of the most popular suggestions from guests who know our ships well:
Keep your Daily Times close at hand
Bring a small magnet
Your cabin includes printed copies of the Daily Times and other useful information. A small magnet allows you to stick everything somewhere easy to see, like the metal bathroom door, so you can check evening dress codes, meal times and shore tour schedules at a glance.
Prefer a no‑magnet solution?
Clear folder wallets are a great alternative for keeping newsletters, maps and postcards organised.
A highlighter pen
A highlighter pen to mark the activities in the Daily Times that you don’t want to miss.
Take a small extension lead
A nightlight
Extra coat hangers
Clothes pegs
Clothes pegs are a great addition, so that you can peg your towel to your sunbed on our warmer cruises – these are also perfect for hanging up small items on the clothes line in your bathroom.
