How to pack for polar travel • If you’ve ever considered taking an Arctic or Antarctic cruise but thought to yourself, How am I supposed to pack for that? you are not alone. • In this brief but detailed video, Oceanwide Expeditions field operations manager and veteran expedition leader Adam Turner gives you the essential clothing pack list for optimal polar adventure. • Based on his recommendations as well as the combined wisdom of our colleagues and customers, this video covers many of the items you'll want to take on your polar voyage: • 1. Footwear (shoes and socks) • Bring sturdy shoes with quality grip soles for walking around the ship. Decks can get slippery and the ship is prone to rocking, so please do not bring flipflops, sandals, or any kind of open-heeled footwear. • Also, pack ample pairs of warm socks. We recommend thick Merinos or similar, and it’s not a bad idea to include thin inner socks for additional warmth and dryness. • 2. Base layer (thermals and undergarments) • We strongly recommend dressing in layers, because temperatures can change rapidly in the polar regions. Start with a good base. Breathable thermal underwear is useful, since it helps keep you warm even if you end up stripping off outer layers. • 3. Middle layer or casual clothing (T-shirts, sweaters, and trousers) • Pack casual clothes you can wear inside the ship or over your undergarments when you’re outdoors. A warm sweater is good, and we recommend thin inner gloves to wear inside thicker outer gloves (which we’ll discuss later) during excursions and landings. • Packing a scarf, neck gaiter, or some kind of neck-warming shirt is also useful. Bring a good cap or hat as well, and make sure it is able to cover your ears. • 4. Outer layer (jackets, scarves, and outer gloves) • This may be the most vital layer. You will want a quality jacket that is waterproof and windproof, and it can also be valuable to have a hood attached. • The same goes for your outer pants and gloves. Trousers should fit over muck boots or your own personal footwear, and both pants and gloves should be waterproof and able to be easily removed on hot days or during activities that make you sweat. • Remember, though, you’ll be using your camera a lot. Your thick outer gloves, like your thin inner gloves, should allow you to easily use your buttons and/or screen. • Reminder: Always pack breathable layers that are not too tight and can be easily removed and stored in a small day pack. Though it is generally cold in the polar regions, it can get quite warm when you are engaged in vigorous outdoor activities. • 5. Additional gear • We also highly recommend the following items... • • Strong sunscreen • • Lip balm • • UV sunglasses • • Motion sickness meds • • Waterproof daypack • • Binoculars • • Spare camera batteries • • EU-capable charger • • Earplugs • • Eyemask • Keep in mind, however, this is not meant to be a complete list of all that you might want on your polar expedition cruise.
