Julespic Posted November 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I’ve got my cold weather stuff sorted for northern Norway days off the ship but what to wear during the day? I’ve only been on warm cruises so far. Do I pack shorts and T-shirt’s or trousers and long sleeve tops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted November 18, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Which time of the year? And how far North? Even in June the temperature can be quite low - Below picture of my wife when sailing northern Norway - 3 C (37 F) - temperature is likely to be 10 C (50 F) in June - bring also warm hat and gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted November 18, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 18, 2019 WE found the ship was heated so long/short sleeves are fine depending you how you feel the cold I wore long sleeved tops as I do feel the cold even with the heat on once we were in the far north A friend went swimming outdoors while most people were in heavy coats We did Murmansk on the trip & it was sunny & 74F then Svalbard where coats/hats were needed ashore It may be warm in the lower ports of Norway for shorts so maybe take a pr for those days Layers are the key for both indoors & out😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julespic Posted November 18, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I’m going next week and Tromso is the highest place but thank you both for your comments x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted November 18, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Tromsø next week will be 0 C (30 F) - likely a mix of rain and snow. Windproof and waterproof warm clothing in layers - good windproof boots, cap and mittens. Cold winds at sea. Unfortunately it looks overcast - so it becomes difficult to see the northern lights. Sunrise 9:30 am and sunset 1:30 pm. My My recommendation dressing for the cold. Enjoy the Arctic Circle crossing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it might be that Northern Lights are visible during the night - it will be cold at upper decks during nighttime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read her first sentence again " I’ve got my cold weather stuff sorted for northern Norway days off the ship " Yes if going OUTSIDE to see the lights I would wear the heavier clothing not shorts/t-shirts Either way just use common sense if it is 30F or less bundle up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwendy Posted November 18, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 18, 2019 If you are venturing onto the open decks everything you own. Lol. Went to Norway in October, very brisk on outside decks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
