_{Our ships visit warm and cold countries so pack for all weathers}

_{Stay fit and well on board through regular exercise in the Crew Gym or ashore in port.}  

_{Whilst some snacks are available in the Crew Shop, you may want something special only available at home. (Remember to check customs restrictions for countries you are traveling through/to as some food items may be prohibited.)}

_{Product supplies are limited on board so if you use specific toiletries or period products, pack extra at home. Period product disposal bags are provided and must be used on board.} 

_{No need to bring these items as we provide and launder these for you. For personal laundry, pack mesh laundry bags to keep items together in the machine, and detergent sheets (not pods or powder) for the first few weeks. Detergent is available to buy on board.}

_{Useful as sockets vary across the fleet.}

_{Items such as laptop, tablet or smart phones – remember the chargers! Also check to see if international roaming on your phone needs to be activated and look for good value deals for using phones abroad. It may be cheaper to set this up at home. Be careful if connecting to the Telenor Maritime network when on board as this is very expensive to use.}

_{Download your favourite movies and music to bring with you. There are USB ports in all cabins. NOTE: USB hard drives can only be used with personal devices. They must not be plugged into any ship device.}
