It's important to know

Personal equipment you need for the tour
The main factor in choosing clothes on board a ship is convenience. Clothes can be casual and informal. Take windproof and waterproof outerwear with you. 
 
Do not take tight clothes with you, which does not leave space for the air layer, which is an excellent insulator.  Wool, silk and some modern synthetic fibers, such as polar fleece, retain heat better than cotton.
 
A few tips to help you feel comfortable during an expedition cruise:
  • Do not dress too warmly to avoid sweating.
  • Wear waterproof clothing made of a material that will allow your body to "breathe" and thus prevent moisture from condensing under your clothes.
  • The legs and arms are most susceptible to cooling. Try to keep them dry and warm. Mittens are best suited for the northern climate. 
  • A wise decision would be to take mittens and gloves to be prepared for changes in the weather.
  • A person loses 90% of the heat when cooling his head! Make sure your head is warm. Along with a headdress covering your ears and forehead, bring a hat or hood that could cover your neck and chin if necessary.
  • It's a great idea to take a woolen or synthetic scarf: providing neck protection, it can be tied over your face if you have to move against the wind.
  • Wear comfortable, spacious clothes. It is better to wear several light clothes than one warm one. A thin layer of air will remain between the layers of clothing, which, with an increase in body temperature, serves as an excellent insulator.
  • Wool and silk are preferable to cotton, because they retain warm air well. Synthetic materials that take their shape again after compression are also good. If things get wet or damp, a polystyrene lining is a better insulator than goose or duck down.
  • We recommend fleece clothing, which is popular even among extreme travelers.

    Dress code
  • Casual clothes
It is recommended to wear comfortable clothes on board during the day. Since the entire vessel is air-conditioned, a jumper, light jacket or shawl may be required. When you are in public places and on deck, it is best to wear light, comfortable shoes.
 
  • Informal evening
In the evening, smart casual clothes are recommended, especially during dinner in a restaurant where shorts and T-shirts are not allowed. 
For women: dress, skirt or trousers, shirt or blouse, jumper. 
For men: trousers or chinos, sports jacket, shirt and jumper.
 
Check if you have taken everything:
  • you will be given a polar jacket on board;
  • You will be given pezine boots on board;
  • warm underwear;
  • warm trousers (jeans are suitable for wearing on board and for excursions);
  • waterproof trousers for boating and land walks (wear them over your regular trousers);
  • a wool sweater or a fleece jacket;
  • mittens and gloves;
  • a woolen hat;
  • warm socks;
  • comfortable moisture-resistant boots with ribbed soles;
  • sneakers or boots. It is forbidden to wear flip-flops on board
  • safety;
  • waterproof backpack for drop-offs;
  • sunglasses with UV protection;
  • protective cream for face and lips;
  • bathing suit;
  • camera and memory cards;
  • an extra pair of your optical glasses;
  • medical supplies prescribed by a doctor with a margin for several additional
  • days;
  • plastic bag with zipper or camera clip;
  • several T-shirts to wear on board and on landings;
  • binoculars for observing wild animals;
