Creator's Key Takeaways

So many people ask me about what to pack for cruising and especially what to pack on a Christmas market river cruise in Europe.

It's about layers. It takes nothing to add this extra little base layer into your your suitcase.

I always go with gloves so that I can use my fingers rather than having to take my mittens off to have my hands free.

I hope all of uh the exposure of the inside of my wardrobe here on Scenic Jade helps you decide what to pack and it gives you confidence to say, 'You know what? I uh I really think that I could book a Christmas market river cruise.'

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring layers including a base layer, shirt, and cozy wrap or sweater.
✓Choose a water-resistant outer layer instead of a wool coat.
✓Bring a hat, scarf, and gloves with touch points for phone use.
✓Carry a tiny collapsible umbrella and a foldable bag.
✓Wear sensible walking shoes for cobblestones, not heels.
