Creator's Key Takeaways

We had every sort of weather you could ever think of on our cruise.

The quality and the choice of the food in the main dining room... has dramatically changed. Boy oh boy have they up their game.

It was a really, really, really good, um, good atmosphere. Good atmosphere on board.

The buffet food on Aurora was not good at all... It was very poor.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use an Aurora app on your phone to track Northern Lights, as ship announcements are unreliable.
βœ“Layer clothing for cold weather: thermal base layers, mid-layers, and a waterproof coat.
βœ“Print important documents as Wi-Fi in ports may be unreliable.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cold weather and what to wear β€” Layer clothing: thermal base layers, mid-layers, waterproof coat, balaclava, hats, gloves with inner cotton/silk gloves.
Northern Lights visibility β€” Use Aurora app, have tripod for photography, be ready during short viewing windows.
First cruise experience β€” Arctic cruises are different; not traditional, but people enjoy it. Be prepared for early starts and varied weather.
