It's important to know

Personal equipment you need for the tour

For our compatriots, the selection of clothes for polar expedition cruises will not be difficult: our winter sportswear fully meets the climatic conditions during most of our trips. Thermal underwear, wind and waterproof clothing, rubber boots will become a reliable basis for your comfort in the polar regions.

Layering in clothing is the most important thing in Arctic expeditions. It is better to wear several light items of clothing than one very warm one. This will help you optimally adapt to temperature changes: it is always easier to remove a layer of clothing if you feel hot, or put on something else if it gets cool.

  1. The base layer. Choose thermal underwear made of merino wool or polypropylene, depending on the temperature of the region and the planned level of activity.
  2. The middle layer. Wool or fleece sweaters, longsleeves, turtlenecks to create layers of clothing. The middle layers can be worn both under the park on landings and on board the ship.
  3. The top layer. Windproof and waterproof parka and trousers. The park can be single-layered (insulated with protection from wind and water) or double-layered (consisting of a warm layer and an upper wind and water protection layer).
  4. Shoes and accessories. Rubber boots (regular or insulated) are the most suitable option for expeditions. Take with you several pairs of gloves/mittens (1 light, 1 warm waterproof, 1 spare), a hat, a scarf /buff, several pairs of warm (for example, woolen) and ordinary socks.
