Creator's Key Takeaways

I am leaving on my first transatlantic cruise in less than 3 days.

This cruise is on Explorer Journeys. It's an ultra luxury brand new cruise line that only launched a couple years ago, and it is owned and operated by MSC Cruises.

I found this cruise at a 0% solo supplement, which means I only paid the amount for one person, not double occupancy.

Just remember whatever you bring on your trips, you need to be willing to carry and lift by yourself.

βœ“Use packing cubes to organize clothes by category and save space.
