Passport must be valid for at least 6 months past your return date. Confirm visa or eTA requirements per country. Photocopy your passport and email a copy to yourself. You'll need your passport (not a driver's licence) to board the ship.
Check with your travel-medicine provider 4 to 6 weeks before departure for any recommended vaccinations along your route. Pack prescriptions plus a few extra days' worth in your carry-on.
Bring a Visa or Mastercard with no foreign-transaction fee, plus a small float of cash. Cruise gratuities are pre-paid in your fare. For tour drivers and guides, USD $5 to $10 per person per day is standard.
Ship Wi-Fi packages are available onboard. For shore days, a global eSIM (Airalo, Holafly) is usually cheaper than carrier roaming. You'll cross multiple time zones, so adjust your watch on each transfer day.
Resort casual by day on the cruise. Smart casual most evenings, with a few formal nights. In Bali, modest cover-ups (shoulders and knees) are required at temple visits. A sarong is often handed out at entrances.
