Get ready for sun, sand, and sailing with your favourite summer outfits, swimwear, beach towel, and a floatie—or join our floatie recycle program! Soft bags are ideal, as hard-shell, wheeled suitcases take up valuable space. The lighter you pack, the more comfortable your cabin will be! Don’t forget a portable charger, any necessary medications, and your own reusable water bottle. Since cabins can get warm, a battery-powered fan is a great addition for extra comfort.
