Creator's Key Takeaways

I have a Kunard voyage coming up. It's very exciting and I thought that whilst I'm packing, it'd be a good chance to talk through what I've learned about packing for a Cunard voyage.

On a typical seven night voyage, you could expect to have two gala knights and five smart attire knights.

I completely love the Southampton to Southampton cruises.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pack medications in hand luggage, not checked luggage.
✓Bring a USB and USBC hub for extra charging ports.
✓Use packing cubes to compress and organize clothes.
✓Take advantage of the wine/champagne allowance to bring two bottles on board.
✓Bring magnetic hooks for extra storage in the cabin.

Dress code for Gala Nights — Gentlemen need a dinner jacket or tuxedo; ladies can wear cocktail dresses or ball gowns. You can skip dressing up in some venues like the pub or buffet.
Seasickness — Use medications like Kwells or Stugeron, combined with wristbands or motion sickness patches.

From Gala Night outfits and Cunard’s dress code to smart cabin extras like USB hubs, travel adapters, and your one-bottle per person wine allowance, this guide walks you through everything you’ll want for a comfortable and elegant voyage. I break everything down into six key packing categories — clothing, toiletries & medications, electronics, travel documents, useful extras, and Cunard-specific comforts — all tailored to Cunard’s ships and traditions.
