Fashionistas of the world generally agree that one of the many joys of travel is the shopping opportunities that it presents.

Which raised the pressing question: what should one buy on a quick shopping run on the island?
Is it actually possible to take a 10-day luxury cruise without returning 10 pounds heavier? We asked ourselves this pressing question as we prepared for our first-ever cruise, aboard the Regent Seven Seas Explorer.

Spoiler alert: dear reader, you will definitely not be bored should you decide to embark on a luxury cruise on the high seas, at least if you go on this ship.
