7 Must-Have Shoes to Take Along on an Island-Hopping Cruise

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and your significant other might very well surprise you with an island cruise. However, gone are the days of cruising when there was little more to do on-board than swim, play shuffleboard and dine.

Today’s superships offer a wide range of activities that include tracks for a morning run, gyms for a daily workout, rock climbing walls and even ice skating rinks. There are also plenty of island excursions to take advantage of that include a day of shopping local markets to exploring exotic island terrain. And if you’re one of the lucky ones, the captain might invite you to dine at his table.

These diverse activities call for an equally diverse wardrobe, especially when it comes to shoes. Here, FN has compiled a list of footwear must-haves for your cruise.
