10. Clothes and accessories

You'll encounter deals when you dock in the lands of Prada, Gucci, Chanel, and Hermès — French brands cost less in France, and Italian brands cheaper in Italy. Sunglasses and bags are some of our favorite items to snatch up. If designer goods don't fit into your budget, check out reasonably priced Spanish brands including Zara, Mango, and Max & Company (Max Mara's more affordable brand) when in Italy.

Where to Go: One hour from the port of Genoa, Serravalle McArthurGlen is amongst the largest fashion outlets in Italy with more than 170 stores. It carries labels such as Gucci, Prada, and Dolce & Gabbana, which are discounted at up to 70 percent off year-round.
