Having the correct travel accessories can make a big difference to the comfort of a traveler, whether they are traveling first class or on a low budget. Four "must-have" travel accessories are recommended for travelers of all ages.

Bulimba, Queensland -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/03/2016 -- Traveling is a favorite activity for many, with summer months being the most popular time for national and international travel.

Different solutions for everyday living are required to compensate for the constraints of luggage limits and not having the normal conveniences of home available. Simple things that are taken for granted at home can become major problems without adequate preparation. Security of your passport and credit card are of paramount importance for all travelers. Wet or damaged clothing as a result of unexpected heavy rain or even by the leakage of toiletries packed in luggage can leave a traveler without appropriate clothing for local conditions. Day trips can be ruined by not taking necessary items (like a waterproof jacket or drinks) or by having too much to carry.

Many travelers purchase travel accessories to enhance their comfort and convenience, but which travel accessories are genuinely needed?

1. A hidden passport/credit card holder – This can be the waist band style, neck style, or one that attaches to a belt and can be flipped next to the skin so it is to be worn under the pants. It is ideal if this has RFID security, or at least use RFID card and passport sleeves so that electronic data can't be scanned.

2. A leak-proof toiletries bag that is compact but roomy enough to hold what is needed, preferably including some purpose built bottles that don't leak, protects the contents of luggage.

3. A foldable lightweight backpack that folds small and light enough to carry it in a jacket pocket or purse is invaluable for day trips and as a carry on bag for flights.

4. A waterproof jacket or poncho which folds small enough to carry when it may be needed is very useful. A small foldable umbrella is also handy if heavy rain persists. Both of these can be carried in the foldable backpack during day trips.

Summer is peak season on cruise ships and in many of the destinations that are visited during shore excursions. To maximize their experience travelers need to do some preparation in advance, organizing the right excursion to meet their needs and being appropriately prepared for the location, activity and weather.

Bulimba, Queensland -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/01/2016 -- Summer vacation is peak travel time for many of the over 10 million passengers who depart on cruise ships from US ports each year. Add to that the high numbers of US citizens who fly to other destinations to board a cruise from international ports and we are looking at a very significant segment of the tourism industry.

According to Statistica.com, 80% of cruise line passengers believe that a cruise is an excellent way to experience multiple destinations. Cruise ships offer many options for day excursions in the ports that they visit and these excursions are a wonderful opportunity to see the significant sights of a destination. However during the summer vacation the pressure on tours is extreme so it is wise to plan in advance to avoid disappointment and irritation.

There are many types of shore excursions, and it important that each passenger chose the style of excursion that is most suitable for them. It is tempting to take the easy option and book excursions through the cruise line, but there are many things to consider before making any bookings.

Excursions can range from passively sitting in a bus for much of the day watching the scenery go by, to actively engaging in adventure sports. Full day excursions can visit many destinations in a city, but it suits some people better to take a half-day excursion then be free to undertake their own explorations. The level of independence of travelers determines whether they are going to prefer a fully guided excursion or one in which they are shown the highlights then left to explore independently. Similarly every port has a thriving industry of local tourism providers who can be booked in advance providing concierge services tailored to the individual client. These can be safely organized through online research and checking cruise and travel review sites for recommendations and warnings.

Almost as important as choosing the style of excursions, is to ensure that the shore excursions will be as comfortable as possible. Whilst activities and their demands will be very different for different people in different contexts, some things remain constant.

Shoes: Comfortable and appropriate footwear is essential. Rocky beaches call for protective waterproof footwear; ice and snow requires good grip and warmth; while a day walking around a city has its own completely different demands of support and comfort. Many an excursion has been spoilt by the wrong shoes!

Weather Protection: Unfortunately shore excursions don't come with a guarantee of beautiful weather. Depending on location a wise traveler will anticipate weather variations and will be prepared. Pack a variety of options that may be required for shore excursions such as a warm jacket, rain coat or poncho, umbrella, sun hat, sun screen. For each shore excursion find out the weather forecast in advance and take the appropriate items. Don't be the miserable traveler who is shivering, dripping wet or searching for shade because of lack of preparation.

Lightweight backpack: A good quality lightweight backpack is ideal for shore excursions, so that the necessary items can be carried when they aren't being used and souvenirs can be carried back to the ship. A daypack that is ultra lightweight and can be folded away when not needed is ideal. We recommend the RovEasy lightweight backpack for this purpose.

Experienced travelers know that a good travel daypack can be one of the most convenient and valued items they pack for their vacation, with five factors to be considered when choosing a daypack.

Bulimba, Queensland -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/02/2016 -- With summer approaching, many people are currently planning their vacation with eager anticipation. But if the vacation is to be a great success many things other than travel arrangements need to be considered. The challenging part can be working out what to pack to meet travel needs without being burdened by bulky or heavy luggage, while also packing some travel-specific items to ease anticipated inconveniences of travel. One such invaluable item is the humble daypack.

Most travelers delight in a full day out sightseeing, exploring, trekking, shopping and just wandering, but this often involves carrying extra things to meet the demands of the day. Weather brings with it the need for additional or different clothing such as sun hats, warm coats or rain protection. Some activities require specific items such as swimming costumes or hiking boots. Local arts and crafts are wonderful souvenirs and gifts, but they can be awkward to carry around all day.

A popular solution with experienced travelers is a lightweight packable daypack which folds into a small ultralight package to carry in luggage, then opens into a good sized backpack for a day of sightseeing and activities. Lightweight daypacks are not an expensive item to purchase, but having the right one will make a big difference to vacation convenience and comfort.

From years of travel experience Clarity Travel Solutions have identified five factors to consider when choosing the best travel daypack.

1. Weight: An ideal daypack is very lightweight, preferably less than half a pound.
2. Packablity: The daypack should fold into a small pocket sized space so it can be packed in a suitcase or carried in a purse or a coat pocket.
3. Well designed: It needs to have a large section into which bulkier items like coats will fit, but it also needs a smaller roomy front pocket for smaller items such as a guide book or map, sunglasses, snacks or a cap. Space for drink bottles is a handy addition.
4. Good quality fabric: A travel daypack should be made of a strong, durable contemporary fabric that is rip-resistant. Nylon fabric is stronger than polyester for this purpose. It must also be manufactured very well, with reinforced seams, to take the wear and tear of travel and not to let you down when needed. Be aware that the stronger fabrics often are not available in bright fashion colors, so color may have to be sacrificed for quality.
5. Wide shoulder straps: Because it needs to be able to be folded into a very small package, this style of backpack will not have the heavily padded shoulder straps of heavy duty backpacks. However for your comfort the shoulder straps need to be a good width and have a light backing.

At Clarity Travel Solutions we recommend the RovEasy lightweight travel daypack.

Cruise excursions are usually a traveler's only opportunity to visit a location, so it is important to research the destinations and plan cruise excursions to meet personal interests and preferences.

Bulimba, Queensland -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/27/2016 -- Planning a cruise conjures up wonderful images of magnificent icy glaciers, sunny tropical beaches, exotic or historic towns, each visited during your one-day excursions off your cruise ship. However the reality is that cruise excursions can be very expensive, rushed and may not show you the features of that destination which interest you.

If you want to make the most of your cruise it is a good idea to plan the excursions that will best meet your personal interests and preferences. Once you have made your cruise booking you should be able to access the cruise ship company website to consider the excursions they offer. Whilst booking excursions through the cruise company is convenient, and gives you the security of knowing that it will be a reputable company that you are dealing with, these excursions are often overpriced.

Most excursions fall into the categories of sightseeing, cultural experiences, shopping precincts and active pursuits. Research the cruise ports and with that information consider your options. What do you want to see or do? Will that take a whole day or a half-day? Do you want an overview of the area, or an in-depth visit to something that really interests you? Do you want to enjoy a sporting or adventure activity, or visit a particular museum/art gallery? This is likely to be your one visit to this particular port, so try and do the things that will mean the most to you.

Your next big decision is whether you want to explore independently, as part of a big group, or with your own personal or small group guide. Most cruise ports have many local guides who offer excursions independently of the cruise ships. These guides can be carefully checked out through the tourism office of your destination as well as travel advisory websites such as TripAdvisor.com, where you can read the reviews of travelers who have used the services you are researching. When you read reviews remember that we all have different expectations and interests, but it can be very reassuring to read glowing reviews of a travel guide and the service they offer. Make sure that the guide you engage speaks English, at least well enough to communicate clearly with you.

Regardless of your choice of activities, you need to make sure that you are comfortable for your day off the cruise ship. Be aware of the weather. Being caught unprepared when the weather changes can completely spoil your day. You will be able to get a local weather report from the main desk of your cruise ship. Dress appropriately for the weather and the country you are visiting, and don't forget to take the things with you that you may need – an umbrella or waterproof coat, sunscreen, a sunhat or beanie and scarf, drinking water. Also consider the shoes that you should wear for the day. Cobblestones and hiking require good solid walking shoes; action sports have quite different requirements. Finally you will need a good quality daypack to carry your belongings so you can be hands-free as you explore. We recommend a packable lightweight backpack that can be quickly unfolded to use as a daypack when required.

Finally, be mindful of local customs, and aware of the currency and areas that are not advisable to visit so you can fully enjoy your wonderful cruise excursions.
