ICYMI… we just got back from out amazing 12-day trip through Northern Europe (Sweden, Norway, Germany and Denmark) with Regent Seven Seas Cruises. I previously shared what I wore in Northern Europe for an early summer cruise that we took with Regent in 2024, which is still a great reference for what to wear. However, today I’m sharing what I wore on my recent late summer/early fall cruise, which can look slightly different. These looks are not only great if you’re traveling to Northern Europe, but they’re also perfect for a fall wardrobe refresh. You will notice a lot of mixing and matching. This is key for packing for a longer cruise. Use this as a guide to pack efficiently and you’ll get the most out of your wardrobe. And don’t worry, I’ll cover the full trip itinerary and all the details next week, so stay tuned!

Summer is around the corner and I know travel is on everyone’s radar. I keep thinking about our incredible Regent Seven Seas Cruise through the North and Baltic Seas we did in June 2023—it was truly a trip to remember! You can read more about our full itinerary and experience here. I get asked about packing lists a lot so today, I’m sharing what to pack for a Northern European cruise. Since we traveled so far north, the temperatures were cooler, and our excursions included lots of sightseeing and walking. That meant I needed outfits that were not only stylish but also practical and comfortable. Keep reading for expert packing tips and the ultimate Northern European cruise packing list!

How I packed and What I Wore in Europe

Happy 2023! Did everyone have a nice holiday this year? So if you’ve been following me on Instagram and the blog, then you know that I just went to London and Edinburgh with Pete to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. I posted a detailed blog about my trip HERE, so today let’s look at what I wore in Europe. Before my trip I had my stylist (Lexi Dennis, pictured above) come over and help me pick out the chicest looks to wear on my travels. These looks are not only great for any upcoming travels, but also for the winter months. Check out how we maximized her style tips to get me through a 9-day trip.

The ‘Emily In Paris’ effect

Have you seen the Netflix series EMILY IN PARIS? I tend to share what I’m currently watching on my Instagram Stories and my followers love it. This fashion infused story about Emily Cooper (actor Lily Collins, yes she is Phil Collins daughter) being transported to Paris, France for a one-year marketing exec dream job is fast paced, witty and hits all the dreamy Parisian hot spots. Season one is a short 10 episodes and features Paris as a setting but I see it as one of the main characters. Think ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ meets ‘Sex In The City’. Did I mention how dreamy actor Lucas Bravo is (he plays neighbor Gabriel)?! I digress… This comedy series has led to an onslaught of interest in Paris, France because it was filmed there. For that reason, I am revisiting our first trip to Paris today. Enjoy!
