But this list isnt just for her, of course.

It has nearly 1,800 five-ratings, and many shoppers praise its versatility.

Wear it as pajamas, or pair it with some cute shoes and jewelry for a day of sightseeing.

The shorts have pockets and an adjustable drawstring waist.

Plus, the waffle fabric is soft and lightweight.

Was the comfiest set for traveling seven hours in a car,wroteone shopper.

Another perk of river cruises?

But every single one of them had issues connecting in most countries.

(But Im not packing anything that needs dry cleaning!)

Got so many compliments,wrote one shopperwho bought theirs for a cruise.

I recommend a pair of Naot wedges like the brands best-selling Kayla style.

But I dont mind traveling without a waterpark or casino on board.

This just means I have more time for relaxing and reading.

The bottoms are reversible, so you get two looks for the price and packing space.

With 19 colors and prints available, youre sure to find something perfect for your style.

If you plan on hanging out on the top deck, invest in this UPF 50+ sun shirt.

Very good at keeping you cool.

Break them in before your trip to avoid any discomfort or blisters.

Thats why I recommend packing a pair of binoculars, like these Occer binoculars.

They weigh less than a pound and fit in the palm of your hand when folded up.

They were perfect on our cruise,summed up one shopper.

And Im not alone.

If you do plan on using heating tools abroad, remember you may need a voltage converter.

Thats why I always pack a pashmina like this best-seller.

Although its made of a polyester and viscose blend, its so soft that it could pass as cashmere.

Choose from dozens of colors and style it in just about as many ways.

It was a great light layer with dresses or t-shirts when it was a bit windy.

Provides just as much detail as their binoculars without the additional size and weight.

Great gift to yourself or someone else that travels!

Most river boats also dont offer 24/7 room service.

But thats OK because I never cruise a river without snacks.

Theyre great for a healthy snack or a meal replacement when youre busy.
