Frio bag if to keep cool in warm climates for up to a month. Or do you mean travelling for months at a time without access to a refrigerator?

Hi,

Sounds nice.

How long is the cruise?

Sounds fun.
I would second @Antje77 with Frio bags.
I have taken them on walking trips in distant locations where tents have no fridges and found them great for keeping insulin cool in my bag.
They can be “topped up” and reused again and again and again. My Frio bag is 15 years old and going strong.

Its for 2 weeks

I've used Frio wallets myself. i recommend them.
Take a look online. work out how much insulin supplies you'd take, (including a little extra.) ;)
Then pick an appropriate bag/s size to accommodate.. :)

Hi. Frio bags help a lot but don't cool by much. I'm waiting for China to produce a small, low-cost USB fridge but nothing yet.
