PSDottie Posted November 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2018 We will be leaving December 2 from Sydney to cruise around southern New Zealand and up to Auckland. I know the weather can be variable but is it a good idea to bring winter jackets for the first few days especially going into Milford Sound? We are bringing lightweight rain jackets.

Rare MMDown Under Posted November 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Winter jacket would be a good idea for Milford Sound, as it can be cold there, on a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum52 Posted November 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) We were in Milford Sound two weeks ago, arriving in the sound at about 6.45 am. It was quite cold and I had a winter weight waterproof jacket on. As we traveled through the sounds I was able to remove the jacket but put it back on later in the day. As you are taking rain jackets, wear fleece type garments under them if it is needed. I also had a scarf and probably should have had my gloves on but found it difficult to take photos with them on. Enjoy your cruise, the Sounds are amazing! Leigh Edited November 26, 2018 by possum52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh Yeah when we were there had to keep putting the camera aside to warm my delicate little fingers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted November 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I take a fleece and a light rain jacket, that way I'm covered for all circumstances. I also take a warm hat, scarf, and gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
