Insulated Water Bottles
These water bottles are amazing. The neck of the bottle is large enough to fit ice and they are metal so they keep things super cold. This is a must-have for anyone travelling to the Caribbean or Mediterranean. They are perfect for an excursion or for just sitting on deck all day.
Luggage
A good piece of luggage is important. Check out this set that will last through flights and porters throwing your luggage around! I also love that it comes in fun colors. Gone are the days when everyone has black luggage. Embrace the trend with this light-weight colorful luggage. It comes in multiple sizes so you can choose the ones that are right for you.
Travel Purse
A good travel purse has a lot of important characteristics. I love this brand because it has straps that are wide and comfortable and can’t be cut. It is large enough to hold water bottles, books, cameras, scarfs, newly purchased items and a lot of snacks.
This one is great because it has a “secret” pocket the size of a water bottle. Sometimes you really just need to hide your water bottle while traveling. Or am I the only one that is constantly trying to not have my water thrown away every time I walk into a European museum or church?
Go Pro
A Go Pro is such an important type of camera to have for the traveler who is always on the go or for the traveler who enjoys adventure. It takes time lapses, videos and photos. It clips to anything and is ok with sun, heat, cold and water. It’s a must for people who frequently travel around water!
Flexible Tripod
A flexible tripod is a great way to get photos, videos and time-lapses of the ocean or any other scenery. It also can be a great way to take selfies for formal nights. This is a must-have piece of equipment for any cruiser (or traveler) that enjoys photography. This particular model is great because it bends around the railings of a cruise ship balcony and so it is great for taking photos and videos as you sail.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses are so important for any cruise regardless of if you are on a cold weather cruise or a warm one, the reflection of the sun off the water just makes everything brighter. A good quality pair of sunglasses makes everything easier.
Stocking Stuffers
Looking for some smaller items? No holiday gift guide for cruisers would be complete without some smaller items. These stocking stuffers make a great gift too!
Water-proof Phone Holders
Always important for beach and water-based excursions, these phone holders make sure that the most important things are kept safe no matter if you are in the water or on the beach. No need to worry about what to do with your stuff on a public beach. You can bring your phone, cards and cash with you into the water so you don’t have to risk leaving it on the beach. No need to worry – everything stays nice and dry!
Chair Clips
Cruisers on budget lines always have to make sure they keep up with their towels and make sure their towels aren’t flying away. Chair clips are a perfect stocking stuffer for a cruiser!
Cruise Ship Christmas Ornament
Because sometimes you just need a cruise ship on your Christmas tree!
Hope these suggestions gave you some gift ideas for your favorite cruiser!
