What to pack

Preparing for your time in Germany/the Netherlands

When packing personal clothing, please keep the weather in mind. Average temperatures in Germany can range from 8 to 22 degrees Celsius (45 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit) from May through October, and rain can occur frequently in the summer and early autumn. Please check the local weather before you travel and remember that you might be packing for more than one season. Initially, Crew will not be required to wear costumes during their time in Germany, so it is important to pack a sufficient amount of comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing. Please remember to also pack closed-toe shoes and thick socks to wear with the steel-toed shoes that DCL will provide for wearing at the shipyard.
