Most Important Items to Bring on a Cruise in Langkawi
1. Sunscreen
Sunscreen is an absolute essential for your Langkawi Cruise, whether it is a day or sunset cruise.
Consider sunscreen with SPF50+ to shield your skin from the bright Langkawi sun. Apply it on both your face and body, and make sure to reapply as needed.
We recommend using Neutrogena Sport Face Oil-Free Lotion or Thinksport Sunscreen, as they are water-resistant and perfect for swimming and water activities.
After the cruise, make sure to follow up with an after-sun gel with Aloe, such as Banana Boat After-Sun Gel, to soothe your skin after exposure to the sun.
2. A Waterproof Bag
Grab your favorite backpack or tote bag for the cruise.
A 10-liter dry bag is ideal for keeping your belongings dry, especially if you transfer to a private beach.
A zip-lock bag can also protect your belongings from getting wet, and a plastic bag is handy for wet swimwear and clothes.
Additionally, make sure to pack along some plastic bags to put your wet swimwear and clothes after the water activities onboard your Langkawi cruise.
3. Waterproof camera or camera bags
Good memories are captured from good moments. Bring your GoPro for water activities; it’s perfect for recording your jump into the water and capturing the Langkawi sunset.
A drone can also provide a wide view of Langkawi Island, though it’s only recommended on a Langkawi Private Cruise. Ensure all your gadgets are fully charged before boarding.
Psst, you may also want to share and publish your Langkawi Sunset Cruise moments to your Instagram Live or Facebook Feed. Remember to tag us when you do!
4. Cool and Casual Clothes
Think of Langkawi Island; think of a good swimming session. Whether it’s a bikini, swim trunks, or a rash guard, you will need swimwear for your Langkawi Cruise. The dress code is casual, so pack light, comfortable clothing like shorts, tank tops, T-shirts, sundresses, and flip-flops. Make sure to also bring a change of clothes.
5. Caps, Hats, and Sunglasses
As you are exposed outside on a cruise, you will want to make sure to bring a pair of polarized sunglasses. On top of cooling clothes and the sunscreen lotion, a cap, bucket or wide brimmed hat can also protect your head and face from Langkawi Island sun. Bring it on!
Other Stuff You Might Need on a Sunset Dinner Cruise in Langkawi
Toiletries: Some yachts provide basic toiletries, but pack your own if you have specific preferences.
Seasick Medicine: If you’re sensitive to sea motion, make sure to pack seasickness remedies such as patches, pills, or ginger candies. Over-the-counter Dimenhydrinate pills can also help.
Cash or Credit Card: Food and drinks are provided for most cruise packages, but do bring some cash for those not included and for tipping the crew.
Identity Document: Though we will require you to send your ID before the cruise, it is still important to carry your ID with you. Bring your identity card (for Malaysians) or passport (for non-residents). A valid driving license can also be useful.
Bring Your Music and Good Mood as Well!
Most private yachts like Lumlee, Rubylite and Victoria have built-in Bluetooth audio systems, allowing you to play your favorite music from your Spotify or Apple Music playlists. Some yachts even have karaoke, allowing you to sing and dance your heart away.
Naturally, the most important thing to bring on your Langkawi Cruise is a good smile and happy mood! Throw your emotional baggage and stress away, and simply enjoy your Langkawi Cruise.
