Packing for a cruise, especially a long one, doesn’t have to mean overpacking. I live on cruise ships for months at a time, and in this video I’m sharing exactly what I pack (and how I keep it light) for life at sea. From clothes and shoes to tech, toiletries, and the unexpected essentials that make cruise cabins feel like home, this is my long-cruise packing list based on real experience. Whether you’re cruising for 7 days or 70, these are the must-bring items worth making space for and what you can skip if you want to pack lighter. If you’re a first-time cruiser or a full-time traveler, I hope this helps you get packed, stay organized, and enjoy more of your trip with less stuff weighing you down.
