DISCLAIMER: Sorry to the men, I wrote this packing list from a lady’s perspective, so please adjust accordingly. This was also written for the Greece Route, but would be almost exactly the same for Croatia. I imagine the other routes are similar!
Travel Bag
** Pack in a cloth duffel bag or backpack that can be condensed. NO hard shell suitcases that don’t get smaller, as they take up valuable space on the boat. I recommend a 40-50 liter backpack, as it’s easier to travel with!
Travel Clothes
I recommend that you travel wearing something similar to the following, so you’ll have it for the rest of your trip in case it were to get cold at night — the rest of the packing list will be assuming the weather will be hot.
⬜️ T-shirt or tank
⬜️ Leggings or joggers
⬜️ Sneakers you’d walk around town in
⬜️ Sweater/sweatshirt/or light windbreaker type jacket
Clothes for the Week
⬜️ 2-3 pairs of shorts or skirts you can wear with multiple tops
⬜️ 5-6 “summertime” tops (light, breathable), rompers, or dresses — things you can wear around town during the day
⬜️ 1 nice dinner outfit (think long dresses with slits, or flowy ones, classy mini dress, etc.)
⬜️ 1 final night party outfit (skirts and tops, mini dresses, shorts and crops — really whatever you want but a little elevated from your daytime lewks)
⬜️ 1-2 pairs of flat sandals
⬜️ 1 pair of shoes that you can wear with all your nice outfits (heeled sandals or dressy flat sandals for girls — make sure these are comfy, I recommend a block heel, def not stiletto)
⬜️ At least 1 pair of sunglasses (I recommend ones you don’t care about)
⬜️ At least 1 hat (baseball cap is better than straw hat while sailing, but up to you if you only want to wear it while docked)
⬜️ 7+ swimsuits (literally the limit does not exist on the amount of swimsuits you should bring.)
⬜️ Light pajamas
⬜️ 8+ pairs of underwear
⬜️ Bras if you wear them
⬜️ OPTIONAL: workout outfit if you plan to do yoga when TYW offers it (recommend shorts and sports bra or tank, not leggings)
⬜️ Outfits/Accessories for each of your themes (TYW usually has two and our group always adds 2-3 of our own)
Toiletries
⬜️ Your normal makeup & necessities << waterproof mascara, removers, deodorant, toothbrush, etc.
⬜️ Hair products to wear your hair without heat styling
⬜️ Shower necessities in travel sized containers – shampoo, conditioner, razor, shave cream, body wash
⬜️ Sunscreen + After Sun Care
⬜️ Lip Balm with SPF
⬜️ Anti-nausea medication, ibuprofen, Liquid IV, or whatever meds you think you may need
Essentials
⬜️ European Adapter
⬜️ Phone Charger
Optional
⬜️ Floatie – highly recommend bringing one!!
⬜️ Handheld mirror (to avoid getting ready in hot bathrooms)
⬜️ Battery Pack for Phone
⬜️ Disposable Underwater Camera, GoPro or any other camera you feel comfortable bringing
⬜️ Reusable Water Bottle
⬜️ Easy to pack games (small card games, etc.)
⬜️ Ridiculous photo-worthy accessories (like wigs, or the infamous mankini!)
⬜️ Small battery-powered fan
⬜️ Water-proof phone case
⬜️ 12V air pump
⬜️ Small backpack or purse
Documents
⬜️ Valid Passport
⬜️ Negative COVID Test or Vaccine Card upon arrival (check requirements of both your airline and TYW before you leave!)
⬜️ Local currency (you can do this at the airport before you leave. The amount will depend on your route, and TYW will give you an idea of extra costs.)
