Have you booked an Arctic cruise or Antarctic cruise? Here some tips from Kumuka (one of the adventure touring companies that Wren Elite Travel works with) on keeping warm for your trip:
1. Wicking thermals are the latest and most definitely greatest. They keep you toasty warm whilst 'wicking' away any unwanted sweat, they are comfortable, take up no room in your luggage and you can wash them anywhere.
2. Goretex lined shoes or boots make a huge difference when it comes to sub zero temperatures
3. If you really want to be decadent, take fleecy lined trousers, these days you can even buy jeans with such a lining!
I would also like to add a couple of extra tips:
4. Be sure to pack some emergency hand warmer gel packs - some can stay warm for hours and they are really handy to be kept stored in your jacket if your gloves should get wet / lost / left behind.
5. Think layers! Lots of layers such as a synthetic base layer vest, thin fleece long-sleeved tops, zip up fleece jackets and then an over-jacket.
